Historic Proportion decided to try to learn to play the guitar and sing last year; after playing New Wave tunes on the acoustic guitar no longer made him giggle, he also decided to try to write his own songs. The results are here, for better or worse. HP spent 16 years not playing his clarinet due to polyester band uniform flashbacks, but, as part of forgetting the 1812 Overture, the Star Spangled Banner, and his overwrought school almamater, he has started trying to incorporate it into the tunes as well.
When he's not abusing these instruments, HP is advocating for vibrant, health-promoting and community-enriching cities. Thus his 'band website' has nothing to do with music, and a lot to do with architecture.
nice! we linked you on bb's website...Beloved Studios said he can master soso if you want it louder.
