Belles and Whistles

About Me

An American guy and an Australian girl living in Japan perchance happened upon each in an office one day. He liked music, and so did she. He played guitar and wrote songs; she did neither, but had tinkled the ivories as a child. Both decided there was something to be made from these factors, thus a partnership was formed and music was made. The music became 'Belles & Whistles', though neither bell(e)s nor whistles feature in any song, only guitar and keyboard. It's likely they'll keep it that way. [email protected]
