More than background music.
You'll hear folk, blues, jazzy songs, rock. Big voice. Albums recommended by
Gordon Bok, Harvey Andrews, Jez Lowe and others. janhauenstein@gmx.de
Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year......more
