The new CD by my band Travel, =Writes, is now available to order from Travel guitarist, keyboardist, and producer Darren Callahan's site (click on the link above, then scroll down to the Travel records, click on =Writes, and that'll take you to Paypal).  I hope you'll check it out. Eventually it'll be up on the Travel site, but knowing us it might be a while.
