About Me

Paul Belbusti writes psychedelic and/or folk and/or country songs and then records the songs while he plays all the instruments. Then he plays the songs for some other musicians and they play the songs with Paul and they sound a lot better. Then the other musicians get sick of Paul and they go do other things that are more fun and then Paul writes and records more songs and the cycle continues until he is dead or until he gets sick of himself. The new L.P by the Mercy Choir is called Passagreen and is available now for FREE DOWNLOAD and limited edition CD-R. click the pic:
