NEW RONDINELLI ALBUM

Someone emailed me over the weekend asking me what happened to the link I had up here with sound samples from the new Rondinelli album, "Our Cross – Our Sins". Quite frankly, I don’t know what happened to it, I must have overwritten the page. Anyway, I did still have the cover art here, but […]
