One free Monday evening in Netherlands while i was there working in a restaurant as a main musician entertaining the guests back in 1987 i set down on the pianino at the restaurant with a (small audio cassette) tape recorder and recorded songs (from different music styles and originating from different countries) that at the time i choose and felt like playing and put them on a audio tape. Here is the list of songs i interpreted and recorded on that tape.

You can download them song by song or all at once from this blog on the right side you can find links for download.

I apologize about the sound quality, it is not so good due to the plain, small and old tape recorder that i had near by.
