Reviews
This page will hold all of the reviews for albums and concerts that I have done. It will also hold a music video that I did and what I am going to call Indroductions.
These are going to be videos where I just give information about bands that I have found and thought that others may like but know about yet.
I figured I didn't need to explain reviews .... yep yep.
