Return23

Hi,  I'm Hans-Peter Rapp and I was born in Germany/Bavaria in 1964. I play the Drums and Keyboards by Return23 and all older projects here.

I know we are far from perfect, but sometimes we have a good groove.
All songs are rehearsal recordings or live recordings, not edited or 
glossed over in the studio, so sorry for the many playing errors and sound quality.
(Until 1993 it was done with an old cassette recorder, which sometimes recorded fluctuations in synchronism)
