a mix-tape for YOU.

so i put together a little mixtape. you do have to download it.
i didn't put it on a CD and mail it to you, but i really hope you press
a few buttons and grab it. it wanders all over the place, yet magically comes together..(i hope, i think). even threw in some old gems, i do mean old. you'll see. it's all one track cuz i did some mixing.
enjoy...........
(click on list above to zoom in--it's tiny!)
