About me:
Check out mattthecat.com On the radio, I'm known as Matt The Cat, but in my personal life, I'm called everything from Matty to Koko. Don't ask. I dig independent thinkers who march to their own drum. We have enough monophonic morons watching TV right now. Mediocre just doesn't cut it anymore. Am I interesting? Well, I think so. I have a huge, great music collection that consists mostly of vinyl LPs and 45s, so I'm always listening to something. Recently, I started trying to restore old victrolas from the 1920s and old radios from the '20s to the '40s. I want to learn another skill just in case this DJing thing doesn't work out. } table table table td { filter:alpha(opacity=80); -moz-opacity:0.80; opacity:0.80; -khtml-opacity:0.80; } table table table table td {filter:none;} .mygen { Miscellaneous Properties } img { filter:none;} a:link img { filter:none;} a:hover img { filter:Alpha(Opacity=100, FinishOpacity=0, Style=2, StartX=20, StartY=40, FinishX=0, FinishY=0);} tr {background:transparent;} body table div font a, body table div div {visbility:hidden;} body table table div font a, body table table div div {visibility:visible;}

Hello Teresa,

I Don't know if you know that the Harptone page you are a friend on is not run by the Harptones, but by someone else.

I am the Bass player in the Harptones Band and Cita and I were looking at this and I'm now in the process of reaching out to as many fans as possible just to inform them of what’s going on. If you want to contact the Harptones you have to go to their Web Site, which is:

http://www.theoriginal-harptones.com

There you can send Cita an e-mail.

I do believe that anyone setting up a fan page should at least get permission from the artist to represent them as this person has done.

Cita and I were looking at your page and messages and he thanks you for you warm comments and all the love.

I hope you understand where I'm coming from Teresa.

All the best to you in this New Year,

Sincerely,

Swete Harold
Roger
