I&#8217;ve downloaded the album and I really like it. I know my good friend, the late Richard Lawton, would have loved this, because they feature a clarinet on a couple of tracks. Richard always argued the clarinet was the most under-rated instrument in modern music.<\/p>\n<p>But don&#8217;t take my word for it. Visit the site for yourself and download the album. And if you like it, you can still send the artists a few bucks. I know they won&#8217;t mind.<\/p>\n<p>I predict we&#8217;ll see lots more of these marketing ideas coming up as the Podosphere matures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>bill is a band that understands the power of the Internet.
