Here’s what I played …… -------------------------------------------- MICHAEL GHIGGERI - Time brilliant guitarist from New Jersey. He has a Flamenco CD available called ‘Dance With the Gypsy’ and his new CD ‘Echos of Laughter’ (which includes Time) will be released later in the year.

Album: Last Salutation www.myspace.com/randycoleman www.randycoleman.net -------------------------------------------- IMOGEN HEAP - Speeding Cars London singer who has broken through - as a result of which I am only permitted to play 90 seconds of her track (I’m not counting the music behind my introduction). To hear the full uninterrupted song go to MySpace (so what’s the point of restricting me?). Forget the petty record company policy - Immie is a fine and unusual singer who now seems to be a standing order for ‘The OC’ soundtrack.
