I threw this one together tonite/early am...yawnnnnn. Not an exact replica but always a tribute to Jimi's music. I was originally turned on to do this by some new free vst effects I found on the net. A cool fuzz face vst that is very realistic…
This was the original version I recorded before I completely overhauled it (see version on "It takes a village album ). I wasnt crazy about it but hell I put time into it and completed it so why not post it up.
An old recording from 1997 done on a Tascam 4 track. Converted to digital from casette so the recording is warbly in spots.
I am currently working on some new songs so I decided to throw so oldies but baddies out there.
This is a bonus track of sorts for the mock EP It takes a village. I had the verse chord chages around for many years but just until last week the song and lyrics came together really quickly. I thought I heard a band arrangement originally but…
This song is so nice. Very appropriate arrangement me thinks.
Agreed, this approach can be intimidating but if a song "stands up" to "stripped down" you probably got something and this song is proof of that. Thanks James.
Had written this one many years ago. I had it recorded originally in a different key and with different instrumentation but it I just was not happy with it. I deleted the original lyrics for the chorus and added a bridge section and lyrics. I…

I was reading about Tosin Abasi and listening to a lot of his music around the time I recorded this, even though it doesn't sound very much like his stuff.
My tribute to Bill Hicks, one of the all time great stand-up comedians...always liked this guy... another one that died way too soon...youtube him if unaware of his work. Peace.
This is a Phil Keaggy tune. I swiped his original loop and then built my own thing on top of it. Might have been longer, but my volume swell effect keeps slipping out of sync with everything else. May work on it more at a later date
A very Merry Christmas to you all ....Thanks for listening...i got me a cry baby she's still not tamed but a lot of fun so i had too try her out and this is the outcome.. hope you enjoy!!
She had a beer and I drank water
Rectangle pizzas cut in quarters
But to me none of that mattered
She was the Woman At The Well
We ordered appetizers
Four bucks apiece it's Happy Hour
I couldn't take my eyes off her
I drove the car. She…
From 2011... If the Beatles did a Christmas song. I decided to have some fun with the intro, sort of a 1940's sound and then...off we go! Then some Christmas psychedelia at the end. Ear candy, I suppose. ;)
wrote and recorded this last Christmas...all guitars are my PRS SC Trem LTD (with rosewood neck)
keys and bass and (ahem!!! vocals) by me as well
Tis the season... so thought I would go for a repeat!!!.....Merry ho ho Christmas!!!
