Music Tracks
I have posts all through this blog that point to and discuss various recordings I’ve made. I thought it might be useful to maintain a master list of direct links here, just in case one might be looking for things to listen to, rather than reading my blatherings and what-not. FYI, all of these tracks were written, performed, and recorded by me except as noted.
