- - - - - - - - - ALL the audio clips above are pretty much one take sessions, live with little or no rehearsing. There were some vocal overdubbs where applicable. The clips were posted because I felt that they are worthy of some great moments and musical connections with the other musicians; similar to just observing nature. There's some good playing going on......
