    Dear oh dear, one year old, eh? You’re a toddler now then, Greg.

    Looking back over what you’ve done in the 1st twelve months, you can safely say that in the last year alone, you’ve let freedom down, you’ve let rhythm down and worst of all, you’ve let sound down.

    keep up the good work.

    Big congrats on the b-day! In general I don’t listen to many mixes but BC has been the source of the few I do. Top shelf, top notch, top dog – just top.

    Can’t wait to see what mind-blowing/consciousness-expanding/foot-tapping treats await us in the coming year!

        Oh you do love to tempt fate, don’tcha? It’s almost as if you’re looking for someone to give you a hard(ge) time, innit?

        Well, I’d be chuffed to hear it – lotsa ways you could go with it too so it would be cool to hear the BC take on that catalogue.

    Happy birthday, mate!

    I agree with Simon, you’re mixes are more than just the sum of their parts, they are creations hence you’re an artist (creator with a masterplan) :)

    Keep it up!

    Hey, congrats on one year already! Linked to the podcast on my blog, but Blogger doesn’t have trackback and all that so… yeah.

    But still, keep bringing those jams out! Here’s to the next year!

    I’d sing happy b-day but then you’d wonder what relationship I had with music in the first place. Thank you for the birthday gift on your birthday. I am empty handed, but my heart is full!

    A very happy and belated birthday to you Blackclassical. I’m a recent fan of your blog as I’ve been living in South India fron nov 08 to nov 09. I’m now back in the UK with access to my PC. I feel like I’ve (culturally) come back to the (western) world as Curtis M would say, and your music is helping me to readjust very well.
    Keep on keepin’ on
    Chris

    has it really only been 12 months, greg? in one years tme you’ve presented quite a bit of fine work, and none of it goes unappreciated. although i’ve lately been preoccupied with other pursuits, any visit to black classical is always a rewarding one. thanks for all of the great music!
