This morning I invited several more applicants and I re-invited some applicants for the third and/or fourth time -- but it's the last time -- Check your spam folders! If you couldn't provide all the required information in the right place, or barely eked out a sentence, or are awaiting some personal explanation / invitation / response ... do not hold your breath.

I will continue to share the GGG Compilations here in a bare bones fashion ... no fuss, no muss, and as this is a public forum, no comments. You can leave them of course, and I will read them but they will not be published. Anywho, with no further ado here's the latest O-O-O-O-Oh Yeah!!!

Glucose For Comfort Vol. 07

Attn: Applicants I've sifted through the applications for FULL ACCESS and have sent out a number of invites. There's still several spots available to a handful of interesting applicants that have yet to provide a gmail address. Some of the applicants were unable to follow the simple instructions provided, while some others simply seem a little suspect. Either way, no dice! There's a handful I'm on the fence about for sure. I'm not looking to fill up all the available slots, I'm looking to invite like-minded, trustworthy, community oriented individuals who have a deep love for soul music. I know some of you are having technical difficulties with the confirmation email and other little quirks -- let me know / keep trying and remember, you must be logged into the gmail you've provided, to access the site ... "and the best of luck to you."
