If anyone is interested in hearing them as full WAV files send me your address and I will send you a CD. I compressed the MP3's using itunes with the highest quality setting they would let me. "Mommy Song" I had to compress at a lower quality setting because myspace would not let me post a file over 10MB. I am not a big fan of MP3's for listening to music, in the case of our songs the compression seems to affect the cymbals the most, plus who knows what the myspace music player might be doing to them...?
look forward to your feed back!
