The link problem is not something that Brendan or anyone else can fix because of the limits to line length in posts.

You can make the links work yourself, but you have to do a little cut and past.

The links are longer than a single line of text, so you have to first grab the part that fits on the first line, then add to it whatever spilled over on to the second line. You can do this by cutting and pasting each line of the link sequentially into your browser address window.

Brendan,  Those links appear cut off at the end.  I'd sure like to hear those cuts if you can get the links working.

Good luck and thanks.

  Hi Brendan,

  I couldn't get these links to open on my computer, but I heard it LOTS on TV
  the past 2 weeks, it does sound like you and it's a TOP JOB performance!

  The reason "I" was listening closely was that I have made several recordings
  of this same some over the past few years here in NY where lots are
  commercials are done. I played it on a Novartis Commercial and then was
  asked to play it for The CBS EARLY SHOW theme in NY, They ran it a good
  2yrs. I got paid Double Scale every time it ran, but Sting was the big
  Winner, he yearly check was as handsome as he is!,-)

  As you know playing the Stevie performance in the original Sting key of B is
  no easy task!,-)
  I worked pretty hard at it and got damn close and they loved it then they
  wanted to do other takes for diffrent segments of the show, so I must have
  learned it in about 4 other key!,-) whew!!!

  anyway, glad you got the gig if that indeed IS you, but by all means do not
  hesitate to find out why they told you it was a DEMO. It appears they didn't
  go thru the Union and it should have been offerred as a BUY OUT which YOU
  can negotiate the price for.

  I agree, The Internet and Digital Age has created a whole new set of
  problems for recording Musicians..What I miss most is the lack of
  communication and interplay which provides a whole different PERFORMANCE,
  one, not so sterile and isolated.

  anyway, as i said you sounded terrific as usual....BRAVO ......now get in
  there and fight for your dough!!,-)


  al the best,
  Rob Paparozzi
