My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Others who love music for the music - not merely sausage machine fashion.....I believe it is safe to assume that if you are into "fashion" and "look at me, me, me!" you will not have read this far...good! Job done...
Those who love art for art's sake - those who appreciate music, art and harbour compassion - not for purist originality but whether it is any good...not necessarily for Dada's sake...but that is interesting too....existentialists...surrealists...realists...skeptics but not cynics...well I like to meet most sorts.
The muse who wishes to have their music recorded well. People who are open to the possibility that they can make better Magic if they get a little help along the way. Welcome to the Songcave..... come right in
, relax, be creative...

If you are reading this sentence, you have probably forgotten to click on the link saying come right in in the previous paragraph; please do! Tip!

there that's better already ....
