i took piano lessons from age 9-18, and while living at home my playing apparently became a great source of entertainment for my mother, because every year she without fail asks me to send her cds of this stuff. occasionally i even fulfill her requests. last, last christmas (2007, ok, how would you say it) i made her this collection of covers. although it’s not my best work (e.g. you can hear pages turning, the mix is a little bassy, i only gave myself a few weeks to do this, and i sang while i played so both elements are somewhat compromised), i’ve been letting the mp3s play in rotation on my computer for a few months now and i’m kind of oddly proud of them. so i’ve put them up in case you cared.<\/p>\n

except under unusual circumstances here and there where i just gave up, i believe these songs are one-off recordings. you’d have to ask ken.<\/p>\n
