    Three tunes from my old band for the nuts of it...

    Link to my RoadRunner Home Page. You'll want to hit the "Music" tab... Otherwise you'll be stuck looking at pictures of my model cars. The guitarist/singer/primary songster passed away several years ago, and the recordings are getting old, but I think they're still listenable. Comment, if...

    QUestion for the pick players out there...
