Bandcamp link Here's a happy uplifting instrumental song I made (a while ago - don't know how this didn't get posted) over a few weeks on GarageBand iOS. Cheerful and upbeat? No idea where that came from, but like a puppy it crawled into my lap and stayed. For those that don't write or play... Continue Reading →
