Found a interesting sounding indian instrument via the computer world and strummed out chords on my lil midi guitar. Added some percussion, strings and a flute.

Ooh yeah. Like this one a lot.
With what you've been doing recently, you're starting to make me think that perhaps I ought to midi-enable one of my guitars.
Your song had the most curious side effect. I found myself wearing all leopard print, and making hand gestures at the sun. As I stumbled from the Masonic Lodge, covered in the semen of lonely old men, I knew then. You truly were an agent of the Illuminati, and I had fell prey to your programming.
Yes it is a YouRock MIDI controller into comp via USB. Controls VSTi instruments loaded in your DAW. For this one and another song I just uploaded called The HAARP effect I used a free VSTi called Minimoog.
My com had a break down and just fixed in time to dive into Mk Ultra. is that a guitar
midi controller?
I would like to get into more keys
without novicing a key board.
This swirls nicely packed with positive energy...I like it!
Hey James ... the lead synth sounds almost retro but played very experimentally agains the cool tribal beats. I like the way the synth pans around your head in the soundscape. I like it!
Happy New Year

Nothing beats when the MN songwriters convene. Greg and Colin sure brought some awesome sound to this song at the coffee table to improve the version that I recorded myself earlier this month. It's what I call a TOTAL MAKEOVER.
Thanks guys…
You gotta have another rocker, because ROCK! And it's all about perspective, and recognizing that sometimes the biggest antagonist in our lives is ourselves.
This all ends, some days are good, some days you are no further than where you first began, or worse. Have faith. The song started life from the verse gtr. It was actually a variation of an idea from 2014. That idea went on to become the song…
Be strong, nothing that is good is easy. Even when everyone seems to be telling you to give up, be true to yourself. This song came to me in a dream. In that dream, I was singing a country song. You have to realize, I am, uh, not really a fan…
Trying, but now I know what a mess I am, and it seems so daunting and unobtainable. I'm not sure I can do this. It sounds NOTHING like I originally thought it might, but I am ok with that.
Things are great, but then the doubt explodes into technicolor fear. Stoicism can't defeat reality, or is it awareness? And still the antagonist is there. Hard to know.... Another TV-time riff (I hardly watch it, but when I do, I always have a…
The song that led the way. I came up with the guitar sound first, and needed a song that evoked the pure energy that was coming from that guitar sound. It needed to be fast and intense. And it needed harmonies. We're full abandon 'cause it's time…
This song's going on 32 years old...
Some 12 years older than I was when I wrote it!!
I borrowed the title from one of my favourite madrigals, The Silver Swan by Orlando Gibbons:
"The silver swan who living hath no note, when death approached…
This one's a bit of a ponderous beastie.
It can be whatever you want it to be. For me, it's got a lot to do with Sunday 18th June 1815.

**Cold - A A J Russe**
Your wagon-train
Is out of danger
And of course you never lie
Not…
The sun in my mouth
the leaf on my back
the crown on my tree
forever let alone
in reverie
can't you see her

I did this last year for a friend of mine who asked me to do a Jingle for his Company. It's a cross between Good Day Sunshine and a Brady Bunch Vacation Sing A Long in the Old Family Cruiser..LOL!! I recruited my children for a bit of background…
Thank you Greg Connor for putting his wonderful harmonica on this song. Enjoy!!
My little steam train
Rolling down the tracks
My little steam train
Going to take me back
All aboard!

Hear that horn blow

Here's a new one. Well, a new old one, actually... And a bit different than the last one!
Something old, something new, something borrowed, and, er, something blue...

**Nobody Loves You - A A J Russe**
Nobody loves you
Like you…
I wasn't going to post this - it's the original demo that the finished version is based on. This is the same lead vocal and resonator part that's on the full version - no EQ or anything, just the naked tracks. There's two bars of silence before…
This is "Bonus Hockey" Andrew!!! I love the anticipation a slide guitar creates. Reminds me of the solo acoustic live version of "Your Bright Baby Blues" by Jackson Browne.

Cool sounds
really cool,, great mix of percussion and key,,, very fun!!
From the sound of it, you must be referring to the supposedly secret MK Ultra project? - interesting sonic transposition.
Great synth fun!
wild.

Like a warm hug. Very nice music from Minnesota.
A touch of the Who on this one...Pete Townsend said that to him Rock and Roll is a way to dance on your problems.;) Great rocker!
Brilliant.
Very nice work!
Has a Beatles vibe...very cool.
killer guitar tone!!!
Raw-kus!!!!
Takes me back to the days of great 70's era rock. Tops!!!!!
Missed this one. Nice breakdown section....sounds like red SG doodling :)
Brilliant
Always good to hear your music....
:) Vocals fit the track like a glove.
Oddly wonderful Psychedelia. What colorful retro sounds.
@Brett I draw the line at wearing a Johnny Bravo Matador outfit:)
Very Cool Train song here:)
Nice!! Enjoyed the oration.
Okay....yes I just read that you had resurrected "Lucy" from snuggly guitar case. Nice:)
Rockin tune. Yes, I agree..has a ZZ vibe for sure. Sounds like a Les Paul standard????
I dig this arrangement as well. :) I like the demo's intimate feel.
