    "I can't tell you how many times I've been asked
to record my licks," stated legendary drummer and
Grammy(R) award winner, John 'JR' Robinson. 
"NetMusicMakers has done it right, and it's a
privilege to share my growing catalog with the rest of the
NMM House Band."  JR is known as the world's most
recorded drummer, performing most recently at the Oscar's,
Barbra Streisand's last two world tours, and known for his
seminal work on Michael Jackson's Off The Wall album, not
to mention his work on the Pirates of the Caribbean movie
franchise.  JR will be in Vienna, Austria, June 21st, for
the opening of Streisand's European tour.

    "NetMusicMakers offers writers and musicians a
unique opportunity to select, study, and absorb various
grooves and feels which can aid in expanding their popular
American music vocabulary," commented Mike Finnigan,
on tour this Summer with Joe Cocker, in addition to
keyboard player on Jimi Hendricks's Electric Ladyland, and
long time player with Crosby, Stills, and Nash. 
"Often, a certain pattern or lick can provide the
inspiration for something that grows into entirely personal
and original musical expression."
