Database (Under Construction)
The entire Slowhand Tourography is generated automatically by my private music database. No, it's not a Web based database, it's a database which I originally set up to manage my records. But what the hell do I need a database in order to manage a couple of records for? Well, I don't know, it's just for fun.
