"Block" & "Charge" Songs

Even though it really isn't my favorite sport, I sorta miss watching basketball games. I particularly enjoy seeing people getting fouled. I dunno why. These songs are inspired by my slight affinity for basketball and two things that happen a lot in any given game: "Blocks" and "Charges." Enjoy!  ~  JH
