Still don’t have a title for it, and there’s a long way to go, but it has been an exciting week and we’ve accomplished a lot, including recording a six song CD of some of the music from the show.

Saint Aggie’s ’84 on Reverbnation December 16, 2010
I’ve created a Reverbnation profile for Saint Aggie’s ’84. I’ve posted some songs and some pictures. The site is usually for bands and songwriters to promote themselves and build their fan bases, but I think it’s going to work well to promote the play.
