Summer Grass- I didn’t originally intend for this to be the title track, but since most, though not all, of the songs on this album sound like summer to me, I decided, why not? The guitar even sounds humid and warm, but in that nice July way…
This is probably the most tender song I've heard from you. I have felt the same way about a woman, and prayed that moment would never pass even though I knew it would.
Nicely done.

This Lovin’ Cup- I was watching the idiot box and just holding my guitar when this little vamp on a B chord came out of nowhere. Using the same recorder, I recorded about 20 seconds of the riff. The lyrical idea came on the trip to Chicago, while…
I can hear this being played in a smoke-filled bar, and see semi-drunken patrons bouncing on the dance floor while the song plays. Great song for a live band.

Matter Of Fate- This song started as a riff I was doing while tuning my guitar. It sounded cool, so I happened to record it on a small dictation recorder I have so I wouldn’t forget it. When I listened to the riff it just screamed Sticky Fingers…
Very nice harmonies on this song. I liked them the most. I don't speak Italian (I hope that was Italian) but I could hear the emotion in your voice. Well done.

Just another time traveling love song from your ole Uncle Paul.
Mostly MIDI synths and some analog bass and screaming Ibanez.
Drum loops too. I was going to drum it, but these two loops really kinda drive it along.
Enjoy.....

After a week of computer crashes, I finally got my gear all back to normal. I got my drum kit hooked up yesterday and did a test run which led to this bit of Saturday morning fun that only
proves…
Rumba Columbia is a traditional Cuban pattern in 6: the "go-to" pattern for 12/8 - if you have only heard one Afro-Cuban rhythm in 12/8, this is probably it. As an energetic Afro-Cuban dance, Rumba was often suppressed and restricted because it…

An old English/Scottish folk song. It's very well known, but has a great melody and I'm not ashamed to play it...

Set of traditional Irish jigs. Don't ask me the names of them, I don't remember (are you seeing a pattern here…

A couple of nice reels played on guitar, the first is The Cup of Tea, can't remember the name of the second one. Unfortunately my midi flute scratch track got added in the mix…
Recorded in Hawaii, acoustic guitar and early morning trades through the trees. Keyboards and Bass track added by my brother Greg in Durango Colorado. Took Tess's (Sister Savages) advice and removed the percussion!
Life is a quest for knowledge and a simple realization that not only is there so much we don't know but to declare it somehow is empowering. A great collaboration with Norm who is an amazing percussionist and a super cool guy! Thanks for the…
My opus. By far the longest song I've ever recorded. I tried to make it shorter, but it just didn't work. Sorry. :)
"The Water-Carver" uses a sample from Stereolab's "Changer." (Gane/Sadier)
My improvisation project is getting interesting. The centre of this track is at 2:08, where the drums pick up a guitar phrase that begins at 2:03, and then take over the melodic line, while the guitar shifts position to background the drums. The…
A Black Eye Friday track that has previously not made it on to the interweb. Probably one of the last that will until the bands reincarnation is complete.
