2k10 was Awesome! (a list of every band we worked with in 2010)

I realize it’s only November 30th, but if Black Friday can now start the Monday before Thanksgiving, then I can do our year end list on the last day of November.  This year has been pretty amazing and all of our guys have worked on outstanding records.  Time to stand back and admire what our guys have accomplished.
