| Something Surprising | Ever since my father gave me my grandfather’s reel-to-reel tape player/recorder as a young boy and I started recording things from my favorite television shows, I’ve been enamored with soundtracks. I’ve collected film soundtracks ever since, and I’ve amassed a library now where I can find a track for any mood or any motivation. |
