I've been hanging out on the site, listening to sessions again and I found three that really caught my attention. Check them out below and if you have a session you'd like to see discussed here, by all means let me know by emailing streeter@IndabaMusic.com.
Synth Arpeggio 2 - Duane Abner: I'm not really one for techno or electronic music in general but I got into this quirky track in a big way. Something about the staccato synth notes reminded me of an old sitcom theme song and that brought me right into the song. I don't really have any informed opinions about what should become of this track but I'm certainly eager to see it develop.
All Together Now - Mark Brabson: I'm posting about this session not to highlight anything within the music that deserves praise - though I easily could - but more for how the musicians involved in this track are using Indaba. There are a ton of talented musicians contributing to this song and that's the kind of thing we dream about here. That's why we created this site and that's how we'd like to see it used. If a catchy, fun songs comes out of that - like it has here - than all the better!
Two Blind Eyes - Newton Bach: Now, I said before I don't much get into techno music, yeah? But the kind of music I really don't get into is country. I don't know why, but I've always disliked it, regardless of the fact that country music consistently shows a level of musical prowess unheard of in mainstream pop. I say this to highlight how much of a compliment I'm paying to Newton Bach by saying I enjoyed this track. Bach - as befits his name - has done something wonderful with this tune and it sounds like all it needs is some appropriate vocals. See you at the CMT awards, Newton.

Wow, thank you for the kudo's, and for puttting the word out. Thanks to the quality musicians here at Indabamusic, this track couldn't have sounded the way it does without the great stick work of John Wooten and Strad's sensitive violin, we're literally thousands of miles apart and this platform allows me to find top notch people to work with in a free flow of ideas. Thank you for making a place with good feng shui :)
