He also has some thirty years experience as a cataloger of all manner of musical materials at Binghamton University Libraries in upstate New York.

"Tony Tersmette really hits it out of the park with his track Blue Chalk[in']. He builds on the synth pop of the past but definitely takes the song to a place in the future. A solid production and well thought out electric composition." -- Jason Miles, pro reviewer.

Hi Tony/Rex,
Have to thank you for the 5's for "Space In Between". Well, I guess I didn't have to, but, you now, professional courtesy and all.
When do you find out about the UK thing?

Mijnheer Bill,
UK contest. I don't know, could announce any time now is my guess. Trying to temper my expectations, can't doubt this final stage is brutal. When i listen to and re-analyze my submissions, maybe they are 'ok', but it isn't hard for me to rationalize their not making the cut. We'll see. In any case, I ain't quittin'.

Hi Tony--
Thanks for listening to "Awakening" and the stars. I appreciate it! I listened to your "Tea for One". 5-stars. I especially like the rain/old record effect.



Thank you for the 5 " Tony on Opus 42.
I hope you are well.
All the best,

Álvaro Guevara Vázquez, Composer BMI.

Alvaro, your music has a depth and breadth to it I can only wish there was more of in this environment. All the best to you as well, sir!

Alvaro,
Thanks indeed for the stellar matter for Blue Skies. An old track that, upon a re-listening, strikes me as something I ought perhaps re-visit and improve. Perhaps a niche for it somewhere in the marketplace?
Thanks again, sir!
Tony
