Wij zijn dieren: aanhankelijk, trouw en de vrijheid zoekend. Wij zijn mensen en wij zijn beesten. Haha.” Tr.9, “The Kiss” 5 min Tr.10, “Flowers” 6 min Tr.12, “What to Do” 4 min 19-58 Sometimes slightly young, then very deep and mature, this is always sweet and well arranged song music, with a very feminine energy. These are the must have heard songs.

Tr.2, “Sangria” (M.Parker) 7 min 108 Matthew learned a wide diversity of styles on his guitar. This piece shows this well. A piece on scalloped fretboard guitar with santur and electric violin.
