Talking here to myself, so and what I wanted to tell you, I think we have a first on the radio, feature radio message board here is a message all in Czech, just for me, for my friend, and I'm not going to read it out because it's in Czech, but it just says, "Hi there."
You know, you end up as paying as maybe as little as thirty cents per track, and they're all free, DRM free. So then they're easy to carry around, and then put on the radio station like this. So I highly recommend that.
Here, let's hear a little bit. We don't have time for the whole track of Belaflex Spanish Point, and listen for the bass because that's there's the excellent bass player there that plays in the band Flex Stone. And if you want to go to my website, Dominic Lukesh dot net.
