PLEASE NOTE:
Juvenile singing on a small number of tracks here is present and deliberately not name-checked due to safeguarding where a piece of music is a class composition from my music teacher day job (Meat Shop Mario, Take Me As I Am, Dumped). Young solo singers are credited where tracks were recorded for Crazyhouse musicals or for the ReaLive studio. (A Thousand Tears, The Greatest Actress, A Winter's Tale). All adult singers are credited in accompanying notes.

ORIGINAL MATERIAL:
Several original songs, instrumentals and improvisations are included here for your delight.
