I'm a guitarist/vocalist so this is my "artist site" to showcase my music and sell current and past Mp3's and CD's. I also teach guitar and will eventually be adding lessons and tab, things like that later this fall.
I used theRokZoom module, but I still need to get the reflections right on the photos and album covers thumbs.
Not really any custom development, but I did use the TS MiniPlayer music player (doesn't play automatically since some folks don't like auto-music). I use e-junkie's service for the shopping cart.
I created the background art and the album covers that are on the site. Still have a long way to go and lots to add. Any comments or suggestions?
Enjoy the music, and thanks for checking it out!

Like the music! Could you explain more about how you incorporated the TS MiniPlayer and the "e-junkie" shopping cart? Are there Joomla components to help with the integration or did you do it manually?
Hey thanks everyone for the comments. I'm going to work on that background image. I agree, it gets a bit cluttered in sections.
Thanks for that favicon link, I'll need to make one.
Skeeter, the TS Miniplayer has a Dreamweaver command that adds the player and creates a config file and playlist in xml. I then go in and edit the URL's and playlist, and make sure I have the files on my server, then just paste the code in Joomla. It's pretty easy to do, and the player was only like $10. They also have a button-style one that works well in the sidebars and smaller blocks.
i'll put together a small tutorial on that over the weekend if anyone's interested. Is it ok to post things like that here?
Thanks again,

Oh, and e-junkie is just copy-and-paste once you're on their service and create products, etc. They do have javascript versions of the cart or plain html. I used the js one. The HTML can be used on mySpace, etc where you can't use js.
