"Chinese" Songs, Vol. 1

These songs are not sung in Chinese. They are not by Chinese artists. They just have the word "Chinese" in their titles. Nothing more, nothing less. And there's more where these came from, too! Enjoy?  ~  JH

"Edge"-y Songs, Vol. 1

Here's a bunch of songs resting on the precipice of...something or other. In truth, the tunes' primary commonality is that the word "Edge" appears somewhere in all of their titles. There's some really good stuff here. So much so that there had to be a Part 2 (as there so often is). Enjoy!  ~  JH
