John Tabacco
Music Box Orphans

Album US 2016 on F of X Records label
Rock and Pop (Alternative Rock, Pop Rock)

This CD is a collection of songs that never made their way to a "proper" album. They were just "one offs". In some cases there was not enough available space on a single CD to include them. Some pieces just had to be cut. Could have been a mistake. I can't be objective. In any event, they make interesting bedfellows here.
