Mostly, I put these up as guide tracks for actual vocalists.

I'm a songwriter, harmonica player, and sometime guitarist.  I usually prefer others to sing my tunes, but if I can't find anyone, I take a shot at it.  I played only blues for decades, but finally got a little bored in my old age and branched out into old jazz and even pop on occasion.
