Okay Man
I thought that I told you
Carrying the weight can be tough
But maybe I was sleeping,
You're a hero wee toro
Gotta plan to handle it all
But maybe you can listen.
Big Man, you don't need nobody else
Amen, you'll just put it…
I wrote Watts in dedication to my former jazz teacher Judd Watts, who passed away in 2005. I started studying with Judd early in high school. He spent many hours teaching me about the music that I have spent my life trying to learn. It's based…
I took some lessons from Judd in the late 90's. During my first lesson he came to my house (in his van!) and asked me what I wanted to get out of the lessons. I stupidly answered to play like John Coltrane. He said, "Well, that ain't gonna happen!", but then he took the time to explain why. I gave him a complicated e flat book of songs that was given to me by my late uncle Hort Warner (who played sax professionally in the Waterbury area), thinking he would use it more than me. I always wanted to ask Judd for the book back but missed that opportunity. RIP Judd.
My buddy was making a Christmas album back in 1999 featuring all our local South Bay SoCal luminaries. My friend Paul had an original song. And I said hey, I have an original song too and my buddy said my grandma needs to hear this record that sounds too dirty so that’s a flat out no. Well sometime has passed and it’s time to release this one. I’m planning on a 10 inch record release and downloads by Christmas time. You never know when you get a viral Christmas hit and this one is pretty risky, but I love it.
Way back in 2001 a girl who lived in my building flirted with me and said I look just like Robert Pollard from guided by voices. I didn’t see it until recently and when I saw them play in 2023 finally I was like oh I totally look like him. This is my favorite song of theirs. I’m not trying to make money off of this. Everyone I just wanted to post it and I will ask for permission before I make my actual product. Thank you very much.
way cool... I like the 60s feel to this... the drums are so perfect for this style too...
even the way they sound.
the lyrics are old school with a bit more modern flair... back in those days you might get beat up or beat someone up and there was no law suit.. yah just got up and lived on.
nice guitar work and vocals too

Another track. The lyrics are more generally about the "sunk cost fallacy" that I see all around me at the moment, not only in the context of war. Musically it's probably a bit boring.
This track started sounding very rural so I added some acoustic slide-guitar that turned out quite nice, with lyrics about being in the area I grew up in again.

sonic assault and very interesting hypnotic love that low synth thing keeps getting better throughout
I am not into rap at all but I like the story you told!
Brava and bravo! 😀
Superb.
Haunting
damn. this is awesome...
nice mix here... the drums really pop.
I really like the vocals against the music. It feels like 60' s coolness.
A good reminder to have fun and not take things too seriously. It should be fun!
