Recordings
I’ll make no bones about it, I find discography's pretty boring
so it may surprise you not, to find me lacking in any accurate lists of
dates, labels, and what have you, regarding what I’ve been up to
over the past thirty odd years. So I’ll just list what comes to mind
and maybe you can help me fill in the details!
