Tired of oldies? Listen to original music that will take you back to the 60's & 70's when music was TUNEFUL & fun.
This music is part of my crusade to improve the pop music culture crisis while demonstrating that pop music can be presented in a fun yet dramatic orchestral setting. If you like tuneful music ranging from rock/pop instrumentals to ballads with gravitas, you'll enjoy this original collection that may remind you of the 60's & 70's when audio was exciting & audiophile quality was in demand. The music takes on a sometimes symphonic atmosphere but will leave you humming..
