MP3 Page

The songs here are mostly sampled at 56Kbps.
Not as pristine as the original CD, but fairly fast to download
and with audio similar to radio broadcasts, to my ears.

I'll be adding offerings from time to time,
so check in again for new songs.

Click on the song title to go to it's own download page with pertinent info
as to file size and recording details. From there you can initiate download.

These recordings are all copyrighted material. You have permission to download
them for your own listening pleasure, but you do not have permission to replicate
or market these sound recordings.

DOWNLOAD OF THE MOMENT
