Below are links to my recorded music. I’ve enjoyed taking on all aspects of their creation, including composition (with one exception), arrangements, vocals, instruments (guitars, basses, keyboards), drum programming, recording, mixing, and mastering. You can listen to them on Bandcamp, YouTube or any of the streaming services (Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, etc.).

Instagram collection

Starting in December 2024, I am posting on Instagram pictures of my collection of Beatles LPs, singles, CDs, DVDs, T-shirts, books, magazines, jigsaws, and so on. It will take some years to post them all. For most items, there are several images uploaded. There are some pretty unusual items included, so if you like the Beatles, check it out here.
