Audio Samples

All of these audio files are in mp3 format; RealAudio clips should be coming soon. File sizes are all under 3MB (this means that all of my friends who don't know much about computers and still have very slow internet connections should not have to wait too long for these songs to play).

Oh, and unless otherwise specified, that is me playing the instruments heard on the recording...
