the first 250 original songs. most of them were recorded songs... some were dreams or failed recipes or arguments with fallen angels and ascending demons. some have been forgotten, accidentally or intentionally. most are fireball music and words, but not all. other folks added words to tunes or tunes to words. a few are english translations of other tongues. perhaps one day these titles will link to a trove of this information, as well as lyrics and sometimes recordings...
