This is a collection of demo songs written and recorded by Ken Westover (me) in the 1990s. All were tape-recorded in a room in his home by him with no assistance. The demos were like auditions, to find other musicians or artists who shared my taste and level of ability. [more about the recordings are here]
Audio: The analog (cassette) tapes were converted to mp3 format and made available here.
Lyrics: Lyrics are available through the link in the “Lyrics” column in the table. I also made karaoke-like “videos” where the words appear as they are being sung.
Videos: I plan to add images as I find them and figure out how to put them up. None of the songs have complete videos yet; a few have drop-in images.
Players: There are separate players for audio and video material. The audio is the same for both. Note: The players do not automatically rewind after playing.

Twenty-Some years after recording them I blew the dust off the tapes, and figured out how to put them up on the web.
The audio is locked-in since I no longer have access to the gear, just old, hissy tapes. But I still like the songs. After all this time, maybe someone else will as well.
Lyrics are a different story. I could print them on-screen, but something is lost when when the words are separated from the music. So I am working on karaoke-like “video”s, where the lyrics appear with the vocals, lead and backing.
Since most of the songs tell little stories, adding images will be the next step. But making such “videos” will be an ongoing process as I work out storyboards and learn how to use the tools.
