[Dreamboat] OFF TOPIC: New Music

[Loralie]

I've found myself returning to my Keltic roots of late, but every once in 
awhile I feel a need to find something new - are any of the bands mentioned 
found on the list have a website?  Or have any music downloadable - I've 
kept my emusic subscription up to date!
