The freakiness of melodic minor

Colorful, mysterious, and outrageous sound stories. From graceful, haunting spirit music, born of Middle-Eastern, Latin, and American folk traditions to an oddrock explosion of punk, funk, jazz, and free sound. I hope that your heart will beat as loud as mine.

I aspire to whisper like Jeff Buckley playing songs that John Prine wrote for Duke Ellington.  I aim to shout like Pixies covering an album that Frank Zappa wrote for The Ramones.
