MySpace

I never believed any of the stories about how people became famous through MySpace. And actually I still don't. But I must admit: MySpace put me into contact with the band "Mostar Sevdah Reunion" and singer Ljiljana Buttler.
A few weeks ago I got a mail from their label "Snail Records": They had visited my MySpace and would like me to be a guest player on the next CD. I visited their concert at the Bimhuis and hardly a week later we were in the recording studio together..! The CD is likely to be released somewhere in September.
