    LISTED ALONGSIDE ARE SOME COMPOSITIONS I'VE RECORDED.
THEY ARE QUITE VARIED IN STYLES, AS WITH LIFE  MUSIC IS,  AND ARE BOTH INSTRUMENTAL AND VOCAL.
    NATURALLY INTO ALL MUSICAL GENRES AS LONG AS THE MUSIC IS GOOD AND TELLS A STORY, IS HONEST WITH ATTITUDE, PREFERABLY POSITIVE!!

     .
     ALL TRACKS ARE COMPOSED,PERFORMED AND 
PRODUCED AT HOME BY MYSELF. THE EXCEPTIONS TO THE COMPOSING ARE CLASSIC PIECES OF MUSIC BY OTHER COMPOSERS I LOVED SO MUCH I SIMPLY HAD TO RE-RECORD AND PRODUCE MY OWN VERSIONS OF THEM!!  (these are 'The Planets','Time Tunnel' theme,I claudius ' theme and 'Crown of glass")
