About Me: I'm a student of acting and I'm willing to trade.
*HOWEVER*
I'm not interested in exchanging anything that's stil in print and easy to find, so just please don't ask. (Ben Bagley's Painted Smiles recordings aren't easy to come by and neither are most of the Bruce Yeko recordings, so I make an exception here.) Also, I can zip 2-discs into one zip file, so I don't expect two different recordings in exchange for one, 2-disc album.
