    Imagine there's no heaven
    It's easy if you try
    No hell below us
    Above us only sky
    Imagine all the people
    Living for today...

    Imagine there's no countries
    It isn't hard to do
    Nothing to kill or die for
    And no religion too
    Imagine all the people
    Living life in peace...

    Its pretty cool actually because it's not about the quality of the recording. It's about the song and how original it is.

    With a name like that you should make it to the big time.

    Thanks for sharing those mags, mellow songs. I don't know much about sound cloud or transfering wave files onto web pages but my son may help me upload them one day. I've been recording mine for decades. From an old guys perspective,, you could take the tempo up a notch on them. Not a lot, just a bit.

    Thanks bro!

    We've got some uptempo songs too. These songs are more my flavor. I'll upload the faster ones tomorrow...

    Sound cloud is really easy bro. It's a good way to have your music public!

    Lennon was a socialist who supported Democrats.
