Japanese Grand March
From Buckley, 1860. Played with varying degrees of success.
"Thanks, Paul! Bandcamp has an option to copy an embed code for a given track or album, which I was then able to paste into my post here using the 'Media' button. Ning ignores size instructions, but other than that it seems like it works…"
"Well done! I like this a lot! (How did you load the audio player?)"

"Rob, I'd say posting, in general, has been sparse, recently."
Apologies...
For whatever reason, I feel the need to make an apology for my lack of posting/activity lately. I kind of plateaued and returned to the fundamentals of Briggs, Converse, and the occasional Buckley (for me, Buckley can be a very perishable skill). Unfortunately, I'm not overly enamored with any of the tunes especially, so I haven't recorded anything lately...Anyways, I'm still here!! LolSee More
