Napoleon IIIrd

Scandinavia here I come..........

About Me



A one-man pop machine and his reel to reel, Napoleon sometimes conducts his live experiments in surround sound and other times, does not. Sometimes he has a band, sometimes he does not. He is however, always happy to hear from you...........
Oh and by the way it's IIIrd, not III or 111 or 3 for that matter and the extra 'rd' is to distinguish him from both the real III and his childhood dog of the same name.
So there.

..
