Music:

This is my ever-changing jukebox, well, I change it every month or so. Sometimes it's themed, sometimes not. Sometimes it's playing vintage folk, maybe 60's psychedelia, maybe 70's space/prog rock. Sometimes it's playing vintage 70's/80's electro, maybe 90's rave and club mixes. It is ever-changing and I can change it at a whim to whatever takes my fancy - though I DO take requests! Please enjoy, as I know some of you, well, a few of you... Ok, TWO of you... do!
----------------------------------------Well, these four little ditties here are mine. Improvised and recorded straight to tape when I was beginning to learn how to play a guitar and my friend was beginning to learn drums. I/We recorded at least ten individual jams and totted up at least two and a half hours of bizarre-random-jazzy-acoustic-stoner-rock musical meanderings. The four tracks I have put here are the ones I'm least embarrassed about!
