I Love Home Recording: Check out these original Amateur MP3's:

These songs are all written, played, recorded, mastered, and mp3 encoded by me in my modest basement studio (really just a corner of my basement). You'll need an mp3 player such as RealAudio or WinAmp to play these. All are encoded in 128 bit stereo mp3 for pretty good sound. The sample files are mono versions with roughly the first 20 seconds of the track.

Legal Notice: You may download and listen to these songs all you like. But you may not sell, redistribute, perform for profit, or otherwise steal any of these songs, recordings, or lyrics without permission of Mark E. Woodford.
