...all right, thanks man, I was beggining to get all anxiuos about it...but now that I've read all those post about it ("it's not a real R. Ford" cd) I can sleep better...
By the way...any of those Allman Brother mp3 still available?
What about the bonus track on the Blue Moon cd? Is it worth the extra dough?
Thanks, man, once again.

I assume the Allman mp3's are available in the member's only part of this forum, but I haven't checked. The bonus track on the Blue Moon CD is an instrumental tune called The Toddle. Being a bona fide Robben fanatic, I'd say that anything by Robben is worth the money, so I'm probably not the best one to answer that question. Besides, the tune was included on the CD released here in Japan, so it wasn't an issue for me.

Hey, thanks man, I appreciate your prompt answers.

I just checked the amazon page and realized that the cds "City Life" and "Blues Connotation" have the EXACTLY SAME tracks.
The only difference being the price...the first is 16 against the 44 bucks of the latter...hmmm...
Weird stuff...

Yeah, it's a great CD, some great playing by Robben, jazz/fusion style.
