Sounds Like: I made this album called Circle of Allusions. During the hottest days of summer, I hid in my basement with an old reel to reel 4 track and sang what was to be said at that particular time in my life. I play: vocal chords, guitar chords, ukulele chords, toy piano chords, electric cords and percussion cords which might really be waves, but a cord is a wave if you bend it. It's very personal and being as such is directly relevant to everyone....I think. What's been said:
"Congrats Morgan, it's very good, i enjoyed each single song, my favorite might be universe but they all are good......you guys got to go get this right now!!! sounds like all we like!" -Dav, Jeff Lewis Message Board Founder
"yeah I just finished listening to your CD, it is amazing!! I burnt it on a disc and gave it to my friend Kenny. thanks man, you are an amazing songwriter." -Justin Blackburn, Poet and President of Super Baby Star Records "It makes for very nice lullabies." -Hillary, friend
"It is beeeautiful, thank you so much!" -Sarah D, band
"There's pathos, humor and sweetness and disillusion - variety. thanks so much for the copy." -Marietta McManus (my grandma)
