[linux-audio-user] Re: "Music" made with Linux!

[Frank smith]

I'm confused here!
I made this track wholly on open source systems.

www.web-links.net/ogg

I see no reason for it be known as Linux.
Even burning and printing the CD sleeve was all Open source.

We have to try prove that OS is a viable system for producing good music.

As regards a good drummer just set them up and record them into your 
multi track
of choice.

Cheers
Bob
