It was great meeting you, Joey! Hope to do so again. Next time I'd like to see you play the Loony Toons theme music - it's great on accordian.

I've been learning Sundown in a room where you do what you don't confess.
As for registering, yes, it gives you a profile where you can specify an URL, and as much or as little contact info as you like. There's a little bit of a social software aspect to it too.
None of the photos are working for me. Pasting the photo's URL into my browser gives a 401 Authorization Required.
Odd.
