ABOUT

I've retired from performing with bands to concentrate on furnishing my new home-studio where I create music videos and add new content to my "Comfy At Home Productions" video channel. Bandmix won't let me keep the "YOU"-know-what "TUBE" text here, so type this in the correct format: yootoob~dot~com/"AT"comfyathome - or you can simply click on the upper left video here and that will take you to it. Hit "subscribe" while you're there, and thanks in advance for watching and "liking" it.
