If you've bought any of my releases (or not), there is NO NEED for you to part with any money to own this. I am freely gifting this to you all. There are no bonus tracks to buy or anything like that. Along with this release are 2 unreleased tracks that will appear on an upcoming album. This is an excuse for me to bundle those songs along this collection. Read on............

This is a collected set of works over the past however many years that I've been doing this. It is meant to serve as a bit of a sampler of my favorite songs and creations of mine to give listeners a bit of my history. I was recently asked to submit 50 tunes of mine that I felt represented me, and this in turn made me do something that I NEVER do which is listen to my own music. I spend so much time hearing it as I create it that I step away from it once it's finished. Kind of like letting your child go out into the world as you are confident that you did everything you could raising it and providing direction and purpose. In the end, I picked 51 tunes not including the two bonus tracks.

As I listen to everything now, it seems all over the place, but I'm happy about that. I can see how things developed from my humble beginnings. I purposely put the songs in alphabetic order and tagged them with the name of this album to blindly lead listeners on a random journey. I'm happy to have curated this collection for you. Peace.
