What u think?

there are online services that can clean up your text cheap - here's a freebie cuz I'm just a little sensitive about it - Ho Chi Minh

Steve would like more comments on his site.

This is part of what I wrote the first time you posted this site for review plus a few more comments - I think most of it still applies.

You should also keep in mind that not everyone will have Matisse ITC on their systems (I'm not sure how common that font is), so you might want to define a couple more options in your stylesheet just in case.

I do like that brick wall background - what I would do is get rid of the black frames on the sides and put the whole design on top of that background with white text. I would also keep the same background on every page too (ie. don't change the colours) - that big jpeg is taking awhile to download each time and I really like the blue scheme best.

Think carefully before shrinking the font size from the default. It gets really hard to read at small sizes. One more thing - don't center paragraphs of text. It makes it hard to read.

Hi Steve,
I agree with Megan about the backgrounds
...pick one. I found i had moved on before the orange one had loaded..took quite a bit of time, and was surprised to see that background on my return visit, plus it was hard to read.
I do have the font Matisse so it is displaying correctly, but it does seem to be blurry to me? (older eyes, ya know?)

On the contact page i am done reading and moving on way before the bkgd jpg has loaded. Although this is my favorite background you have used.(the yellowish one)

The gig guide is very hard to read with it's background.

On the press release page i was into the middle before the bkgd came up, wishing the font was one size larger, then the bkgd happened and i couldn't (or wouldn't ) strain my eyes to read the rest.

I would probably lose the credits page and put that info with the contact info?? Just a thought..it seems unnecessary.
On the songs page, i thought by clicking on the song title i would get real player to open..i know you didn't say that, but i wasn't prepared for the download to start...
on old foogie here who doesn't mp3 yet..see?
Perhaps letting some one know just what will happen there is a good thing..i do listen to music ya know

So your target audience won't have that problem with eye strain and all, but lots of us older folks do.
You may want to address it or not.

I did find the site to be easy to navigate, and actually liked the black side frames how you used them.
There's a lot of info there laid out well..good job.
