RTP-area local music and culture

Mr. Rossi - I know I'm a little late to the party on this one, but I
recently got the most recent Erie Choir record (which I understand you
had a hand in recording), and it is a damn fine piece of work. I've
been meaning to pass along my compliments.

(To thread this into the rest of this thread, it was a good old
fashioned CD, purchased at Chaz's, where I found the customer
experience to be excellent - far superior to that of the iTunes music
store. There's no dog to pet at iTunes.)
