by Frank Rogala • • 0 Comments
Both my salesman at Sweetwater (hey Dan!) and I checked on the internet to find out if Ivory II was compatible with Mac Osx 10.9 (Mavericks). We both found forum posts and blogs that said people were using Ivory II with Osx Mavericks with no problem. Since I found otherwise, I wanted to post this…

EXUDE’s 1980’s EP “Safe With You” restored by Powderworks Records and available on iTunes

There are other EXUDE's (musical performing groups) out there laying claim to the name, and just because I currently can't afford a lawyer to kick their asses, doesn't mean I won't. We were the first EXUDE, forming in 1978. All these other jokers would have had to do was do a Google search to learn…
