Name That Film
This song is from an Academy Award winning film. I’m pretty sure. In any event, I have been working on it all day and it’s time to get it out into the world. It was written over 100 years ago by Scott Joplin. He was born on November 24, 1868 and he passed away onContinue reading “Name That Film”
The Hits Are Back
And here are some thoughts I thought worth sharing:– Did you know that before I became a vegetarian I was in “Burgers and Acquisitions?” – Do you like ambience?
