*** If you are kind enough to listen to my music I will do my best to reciprocate and listen to your music. ***These days I oscillate between sadness and disgust and rage and embarrassment at the situation in my country. Maybe I'll be able to channel some of that into songs.
THANK YOU in advance for checking out my music!

Hi John, hope you have a great FAWM 2026! I think we've been provided with enough material for a lot of protest songs this year!
