This is my music blog, Listen

This is where I blather away about songs I like, and make MP3s available for download. I have spent many years making, playing and recording music, and I have some definite opinions.

Despite the old saying about opinions, I’ll try to at least make mine entertaining. And hopefully you will get a chance to hear or re-hear some less than obvious music. I intend to only post songs that are not well known or are difficult to come by.

A word about copyright

As someone who has spent his entire adult life trying to eke out an existence from creative work, I take copyright very seriously. If musicians (and other artists) don’t get paid for their work, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out what is going to happen over the long run. Although I am technically violating copyright by posting MP3s from my collection here, they are songs I think are important and deserve a wider audience than they’ve gotten.

My hope is that if you hear something hear that you like, you will be moved to buy the CD if it’s available. I think most people want to do the right thing, if they don’t have to jump through too many hoops to do it. I also think the music business has been very good at building hoops for people to jump through and then screaming when someone invents a hoop-jumper. But that’s a rant for one of my other blogs.

Thanks for listening!
