      The guy seems to have an endless amount of music within his soul. Not many artists can do what he does: sings(lead, backing), plays: drums, bass, piano, theramin, guitar,,,writes the songs.
      Whether solo, W.Ds, S/K, he just keeps pushing out new, fresh material!

Your singing and vocals arrangements, guitars, solo, rec/mix, and production are off the charts too. It just sounds like you had fun! Thank you for sharing. 🤘
