Music for the Land Whore

[methodwriter85]

Okay, here's the deal. Mark's doing the whole Wardroom thing, and while I COULD try to d.j. for it, I've decided not to. So in lieu of doing that, I've decided instead to play d.j. for The Land Whore, for the last 10 chapers that he didn't do music for. There may be overlap, but whatever.

Alright guys, it's been great picking up where Mark left off and doing the final ten chapters of music for the Land Whore. Hope you guys enjoyed it!

Jeremy,

 

You really did a terrific job with this story! I'm impressed.

[methodwriter85]

Thanks, Mark. It's been a blast. And the early 1970's was a pretty rich time in music- definitely much easier than when I was trying to do stuff for 1980. Geez. NOT a good year for American music, 1980 was. 1973 couldn't be anymore different, though.
