About Me

So, just what are the sunken lanes, or indeed what is 'the sunken lanes?' Well, at the moment they are a dumping ground for my song ideas, or rather 'Mi' song ideas, me, in this instance, being Ray Mi; poet, philosopher, aspiring musician, Or just plain unemployed, who can tell? Well aside from my bank manager. This site will, for the forseeable future, act as an outlet for my various musical sketches; I have yet to master the art of 'production values' so if you are looking for songs that have polish and sheen then move along people there's nothing for you to see here. If, however, you are not hung up on the idea of high fidelity recording, and the professional approach, then feel free to stick around. I'll probably be changing the songs around from time to time, so if you would like to add comments on the various songs check out the relevant blog entry. Just think, if anything ever comes of this you'll be able to claim 'I liked them way before they became famous', or 'I thought they sucked long before it became popular to express such an opinion'. I'll probably make the odd song available for download, but until then stream away.
