I hope to polish up my reams of farm songs on goat walks, during the growing season. I will continue to record with this little camera, winter evenings soon, now that I know it works! (and on goat walks too once it's warm). So check the folder later - it may grow : )

Goatsong: Music of Farmer Shana at 3 Streams Farm:
I am happy for anyone to learn and sing my songs (do give credit to Shana at 3 Streams Farm, if you perform).
The pics on the music videos are just my pocket camera having to point somewhere (mostly out my window).
I hope to polish up my reams of farm songs on goat walks, during the growing season. I will continue to record with this little camera, winter evenings soon, now that I know it works! (and on goat walks too once it's warm). So check the folder later - it may grow : )
Years ago I made the money to buy my land, by being a street musician. Must recover now from lack of venues during COVID! Enjoy. Sh
