All these songs were recorded through a Sony digital voice recorder and tracked in Audacity. they are created from sounds from my life over the past 2 years. multiple thanks to J & T for buying me that voice recorder, and thanks to YOU for listening.

"Those people who made up the songs were the ones who insisted upon life and living, who reaffirmed themselves. They didn’t just fall down into the cracks or the holes." --Odetta

i have become unwittingly addicted to your LP. and damn, is it ever a good record to listen to on vinyl.
