Hi, there are some very short sound samples at:
http://www.ecto.org/lists/ecto/archives/samples/
(they're *really* short, unfortunately). I just had
a look, and there are samples for Mac and Sun. Did
I mention they're oh so, way too short? :-)

RhodeSongs is a good one to start with, it's a compilation with
non-album, acoustic and re-mixes added, so it won't become
redundant if you become a fan and end up getting all of them.
(they're all pretty darn wonderful, but I'm the least objective
person on the planet when it comes to Happy's music).

Vickie (who loves Chris, who does have breasts and a mind of
his own too, because he's all-around wonderful, and is giving
me a birthday present of a trip to New York to see Happy live
at The Bottom Line August 10)
