The recordings are pretty much just me.
I do all of the guitars, bass, synth, and
"live" drums on a Roland Juno G....
There are some tracks that have been
done with some real drums...provided by
my good friend Steve (JesterSmile).
He is credited on those tracks.
Just a guy who's been making music
since 1979....
