Songs
My song catalog consists of work written with many different collaborators. Only a couple are studio produced, most are DEMOS only.
While a handful are being held by the artist for eventual recording and performance, most of these songs are available to be performed, or recorded, or even placed in media presentations. All rights are strictly reserved and permission must be granted.
