"Oddities And Endings" : 2005 (demo)
Started (but never got around to finishing) some of these tunes back when.
Too much painting and art-people-schmooze interferred (the excuse anyway).
Actually still have a half-dozen each Todd Rundgren, Simon and Garfunkles,
didn't want to waste tracks but wont do them now, this project now abandoned.
