Folk, MySpace, Singer Songwriter 30 September 2008

Pixie voiced songstress Lisa Cerbone enters your ears and washes over you, sending melodies to assist in falling deeply into a relaxed state.  But wait…don’t get too relaxed, you don’t want to miss anything!

So other than this self imposed mugshot photo of Marcus Jönsson (aka Bosco), I don’t know much about this Swede.  I tried to contact him through through his MySpace page and got no response, and there is not much new material there outside of some upcoming live gigs, so here …

Okay I am not going to lie to you here…I am partial to Del Barber.  I have never met Del, or even spoken to him face to face, but alas I got this guys back.  Why you ask?  He is a good old ‘pegger!
For those of you who are unaware …
