HEY check out the tunes in my MP3 Player at the top right of my page. They're songs from sessions I've played on over the years. I try to change them up from time to time to keep it interesting.
Note: these songs in the MP3 player are not written by me. I'm only playing bass on them. However I do have permission to post them here on my page from the songwriters, so just chill out and listen, mmmkay? Peace!
