@another cultural landslide, @kirklynch, @Sister Savage: Anthem indeed, and we wore our U2 influences proudly on our sleeves. This song was written about a childhood friend who commited suicide (apparently a few hours after seeing us play at the local pub). I did me "Edge" thing (yeah, Kirk, I was "Scenic Overlook") - I tuned my guitar something like AAEAAE, don't remember exactly, and yeah, that timed delay, that was great stuff :)

I can't hide the fact that I've listened to Pierre Bensusan. Or that I've longed to return to Paris.

Written and recorded sometime in 2008.
I was a bit hesitant to upload this one, but I do think the melody is rather nice... :)
One of the first tunes I wrote and recorded with the RC-20 looper given to me by Kirk Lynch. Don't remember much…

Solo acoustic guitar recorded January 2nd 2009. Hope to do a longer more developed version at some point ,but for now just a short version to learn more about using new DAW software.
One from a year ago or so. Never was happy with the recording quality, but never got around to re recording it. My attempt at a kind of late 70's Phil Keaggy thing
Yo-Yo Ma uploaded this cello part on indabamusic and invited others to create with it. I thought it was a cool idea. I had help with this christmas song from Matthiew, a wandering Parisian trumpet player.
There was a director who was so happy to show off his lead singer to the playwrite... she was young and beautiful and a talented singer... when he finally got to present her to the playwrite... the playwrite nodded, and smiled.. he told the director…
