2010-12-30T21:39:00.000-08:00

Well 2010 is about done. It has been a year of joy and a year of sorrows for me and mine. As I get ready for the New Year to come I am releasing this 12 song collection of improvs mostly from posts at ImprovFriday, as a clearing of the musical pallet. Here is wishing the very best to you all in the New Year,
Peace Out,
Jeff
