After playing around with writing songs for three years, I thought it was a good time to put the best together into an album for Christmas 2020.

• Download - This ZIP archive contains all songs as mp3s, plus the CD booklet as a PDF.
• Stream - Here are the 14 songs as a single mp3 for streaming.
• Booklet with lyrics, tracks - This is the booklet I put in the physical CD for those who want something in their hands.
