Hello my friends. WOW!!! That's all I can say, wow! We put the 13 songs on line about three weeks ago and already over 280,000 hits on www.MySpace/Salbelloise ! Independent radio stations all over the world are playing it and getting great response. Hey, it only took 20 years of live performances to get here. Seriously, it's a big thrill for all of us and we thank all of our old and new fans. When we recorded the album we had enough songs to do a quick follow up of another 14 songs that we really liked. So, look for 14 new songs to be released online in the next 8 weeks. I'll be recording a couple of the 12 string jam songs that I do live. This album will have the same concept as the first recording: No slick studio tricks, just record them the way we do them. It will be just like sitting in my living room and listening to us jam, except you'll have to provide your own drinks! This time there will be pictures and video of the recording process and you'll see how much work [and fun] it is to do one of these albums. I'll keep in touch and thanks again for all your support. Peace! Sal Belloise
