Avi's originals band - live rehearsal recordings
Avi and his lyricist Liss (who is also his wife), argued over whether or not to put these rough recordings of musician pals at play online for folks to hear. Liss won, the songs went online, and they proceeded to storm up the charts at MP3.com. Although the site is now defunct it was popular in its day, and some of these tunes held #1 positions on their charts! We eventually released them as part of the DIY CD "The Bootlegged Rehearsal," which was available through MP3.com.
