nonstop co-op

I grew up loving the story of my grandparents & great aunt & uncle and their group of friends who would all party & sing together. I always felt this was the richest way to live, joining together in song, and entertaining each other with music.

A friend gave me his spare guitar around 1990. I started to write songs because I didn't know any. I formed a band because what else was there to do except to make music with friends?

I still write songs, it's easier than learning others', and I try to capture some of what my grandparents and their friends were onto, seeing the recording as a snapshot of a couple of minutes spent with a friend or two.

Own the music before you buy it.
If it knocks you out, support A. Kaffer.

Idle Idol was compiled of songs and sounds I found spanning the first half of the 00's. A review of the different ways I've found to make music.
