In most cases, these are not the perfect recordings I dream of creating one day, using real musicians and real instruments. Rather, what is offered here, for the time being, is demo recordings produced in a home studio with limited resources—computers, software, a number of synths, and a MIDI guitar—so please make allowances. Think of the less-polished recordings as audible scores, enhanced in some cases by really fine guest singers. I think I have been incredibly lucky to have such wonderful singers interpreting my songs. They are world class.
