This song goes all the way back to my roots of writing music mostly on acoustic guitar and recording/playing all the instruments myself. Also my first 'proper' recording in my new studio space. Thanks for listening!

Another very old track recorded on cassette recorders. Curiosity value - the vocals were by a guy named Dancin' Ken Hanks, who was - maybe still is - Minister Of Happiness in the Official Raving Monster Loony Party.

Another oldie from the cassette era, circa 2001. The title ? Cant remember...think it might have been in Esperanto, but why now escapes me...probably meant something at the time.
