I can't find the link to actually listen to this.

[phantom dancer]

Hi KitKat,

To listen to the CD, click on http://www.gregpoppleton.com

On the top left of the home page you'll see a pic of the CD cover and the word Shop, click on that.

Then on the Shop page, on the left, under a pic of the CD cover, you'll see a table with 30 sec grabs of all 14 tracks.

In the right column are some links to HepCat Store, CD Baby, iTunes etc. Click on CD Baby if you want to hear free 2 min versions.

Otherwise another site I have that has a free complete version of It's Only a Paper Moon & Love Me or Leave Me is http://www.myspace.com/gregpoppletonand ... edanceband

Thanks for interest. I'll also be doing some redesign of my site in the next few weeks and will aim to make finding the music easier.

Hope you like what you hear,
Cheers
