20 Hobbit Songs Done!
Good day in the studio. I finished mixing all but the last tracks–“Cat and Rat” and an alternate version of “Scouring the Shire” with percussion. All of the other songs are awaiting mastering.

Celtic Music DJ Services
I’ve brainstormed the idea of offering Celtic music DJ services for a couple years now. I have a collection of Celtic music that includes over 12,000 tracks. I play the music.
