Important note: This is practically a no-budget, one-person project. I will not be doing any advanced mixing on any of these tracks as I don't know how to and I don't believe in using any effects to change how I sound naturally since presenting that natural sound is the goal here. (But mostly because I don't know how.)

To Newcomers: Better/more interesting singing recordings are marked with an asterisk (*). You *want* to hear the new stuff. Not the old stuff. You *want* to hear the good stuff. Not the crappy stuff.  Stuff that ended up on the main part of my last cut of "Covert Hobby" are in italics.

There are dates next to each link and multiple versions of (many) songs here. The reason for this is because this is a record of progress, not a showcase of my best work. I continue to improve daily and I wish only that a record of this be kept and witnessed.

So scroll down. Because if you just listen to the stuff at the top, you'll think I suck. A lot. But I don't.

Update 2. May: Ordered chronologically.
Update 6. June: Put asterisks next to the better songs.
Update 12. August: Disabled comments because I don't accept putdowns. This is my dream, and no one has any right to say that my voice has no place in music. (Especially when I probably have more education in music than the putdown-er does.)
Update 5. September: Added large-print notice.
