Recording just for fun.  Enjoy experimenting with different mixing and mastering settings - taking one song at a time.  Do a little singing and little songwriting and doing the best I can with playing the music. Just having fun.

Love the classic music of the past. Hope what I put out there will enlighten young listeners that may never have heard these songs.
