Music Monday: If you haven’t heard it already…
Every so often, I like to share my music page link. Many people read my posts, but unless they visit my website, they don’t see the other things that I have created. https://linesbyleon.com/my-music-and-more/ Most of the recording is not studio quality (since it wasn’t done in a studio), and recording isn’t something I enjoy doing,Continue reading “Music Monday: If you haven’t heard it already…”

Music Monday: Deja…kind of vu?
I heard a song the other day and it reminded me of a past event. The odd thing was that I had never heard it before, yet it made me reminisce. I guess that the words or the melody fit into my memories so that I could picture myself experiencing it in a different time.Continue reading “Music Monday: Deja…kind of vu?”
