Additional notes

You ever take a long hard look at that ever growing box of tapes, noticing that you have a problem with labeling them, and are clueless as to what's on them? Oh yeah! Writing and recording music sums up who I am. Music is the universial language and will forever move, motivate, and destroy mankind as we know it.
