This is the song that helped start my acoustic journey!
My humble acoustic version:

You rock, bro!

New version of my cover of A Beautiful Scene's You're So Comfortable and I'm Not. Now with lots more instruments. Some parts are still kinda rough but I think I'm done with it.
A new version of an old song I wrote back in the late 80's. This version is prob a bit too slow but it's one of those things you get used to after awhile. This recording was also suppose to be a "study" version and then the real recording made…
This is a song that started as just an idea I had playing live one lovely thursday evening and I just started playing this progression and sang some gibberish over it and I came up with the "chorus" part and and the Idea of asking questions in…
This is an absolutely beautiful song written by Jon Foreman for his side project Fiction Family and I felt like givin it a shot soo I just kinda learnt it and threw it together theres a few flubbups but they kinda workout well in the end
enjoy :)
I don't shout in my sleep but yeah I really like the beginning of the song but the second part the vocals kinda got sloppy. Must re do for a later release.
A really short song about a really short card game:

Lyrics:
Play just one more game
Decide the champion of us all
What game takes one minute?
How 'bout Brawl?
Another old song that got a little country twang when it became obvious that the horn section wouldn't be showing up on my doorstep any time soon.
"You fools don't know what's going on inside her head"
For those I call my friends....
Where ever in the world you are...
My Son Opens up this tune with a sound check... :)
-Lyrics-
As I stand, and I survey,
All the places that I stayed.
Days of old and nights that Slip into the…
On this beach made of sand and shells
and broken hearts
as with so many things in this life
it ends where it starts
And like the waves that will roll over me
you take away everything that I see
So I walk to the place where the sand
and sky…
I’ll make my exit on the wind
Nevermore to pretend
That I’m fine
Yeah, I’m good, so good
At doin’ everything I should
To convince you
That I’m okay for today
An’ I won’t crawl out of my skin
I’ll just pretend
Some days…
Just playing around - wasn't too upset with what I ended up with. Sort of an intermission to something... if I decide to pursue this one, I'll get rid of that annoying buzz, I promise.
I keep writing songs about communism, for some reason. I thought it was slightly amusing to discover that Mashino actually IS an industrial town. Sounds like "Machine". Get it? Get it??
A song about the classic dice-rolling game:
http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/41/cant-stop
Lyrics:
It feels so nice when I throw the dice that I think I'll do it again
It'll be okay if I can find a way to make a 3 or 6 or 10
I've come…
A song about an epic boardgame:
http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/71/civilization
Lyrics:
Do you mean to tell me,
It's 3000 BC?
And I have nothing here but one piece to play?
They're multiplyin'
Population risin'
And then they come together…
A song about a classic boardgame:
http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/5/acquire
Lyrics:
Sit yourself right down my friend and I'll tell you how to play
You're goin' first because your tile is closest to 1-A
I recommend you start a chain…
A few of you know I accidentally wiped out one of my SD cards that had all my works in progress on it. I'm just starting to piece it all together again - A slow process. This was supposed to be a reprise to "In My Head", but ended up being in…
