    Gotta say, you've come a long way from recording videos in the corner of an apartment with complaining neighbors. I loved those beginning videos with Robyn, Puddles, Haley and Miche Braden. The quality of music was as good then as it is now, despite the budget deficit back then. I'm happy everyone associated with this channel is having such success. I hope to be commenting on new content here 10 years from now. Cheers!
