Songs

Here's where I keep my songs, mainly in the form of videos, sometimes just the lyrics. I have organized them into "albums", though collections is probably a better term. Have a look and a listen. Let me know what you think.

NOTE: the individual song links below will take you a YouTube video. If you click on the Collection page link (eg, "Extravert" or the Extravert image), all the songs from that collection are available on that page. That's also where lyrics are displayed.

NOTE #2: If you run into YouTube ads (more likely if you click the links on this page), my sincerest apologies. I do not receive any income from them, it's just a thing YouTube decided they could do. And so they did. Sigh.

NOTE #3. The "collection" pages (eg, Extravert) may not display correctly on some devices: the embedded videos won't display. On iPad and iPhone you must allow "Cross Site Tracking" in the Settings for Safari or Chrome (whichever you use).
