This is an ode for a good friend of mine that had took his own life at the end of last year. I was in the midst of writing some other songs and it stopped me in my tracks. I just wrote basically how I felt about this tragic ending to a very special…

Did this many years ago. It came together very quickly. There are know synths, all guitars and backwards vocals, sped up vocals, detuned vocals.....whacked sounds. I wrote the lyrics on the spot. I love its deep personal message...lol!

I took an old track that was a cover of Hear my train and dropped the vocals and added some new electric guitar tracks. I had just upgraded my recording setup and was testing some hardware and software when I did this. It has a punchy lil guitar…
Oh yet another nostalgic blast from the past. I found this unbelievable backing track surfing the web some years ago. I usually never use backing tracks because they usually suck bad . But this one is like having mitch and noel at your side. I…

I just bought a new Gibson SG Standard guitar with P90 pickups. I bought it after listening to Steve Krell's Gibson Gold Top with P90's.
Here is my first recording with the guitar.

I once worked for a retail company in the computer industry. One of my fellow buyers took a job at another company, then returned six months later as a salesman for that company. This is a song of how he might have felt returning to the city…

Another lyrically-challenged collaboration with jip1965, who sent me a guitar, bongo, percussion track with a recorder playing named, simply, 'Love'.

Shroom n' gloom! Man brings me back to a party at a mansion back in the day. Woke up in an empty bedroom on a hardwood floor and my shoe as a pillow! Nice imagery you created here. Has a Door'sy vibe.
A song about my wife. Recorded 2005.
I'd just taught myself how to play piano (badly).
I'd always wanted to be Freddie Mercury when I was younger... still got a bit of a ways to go.

Some good midwest rock guys. Go Bears!
Love those guitars and that groove.
Unique style here. Very good production!
Good song here. Simple and sincere.
Oooh like the janglin chords! I am thinking a lil Spirit in the sky with this groove.
Nice! Love the slowed down version.
Man, drawn in as soon as the first notes appear. These are very nice pieces you have created. :)
Sounds like Elvis fronting Tears for Fears covering the Beatles. This is pretty damn inventive.
For 1min long its a great performance.

Love the wha wha guitars panned around at the intro. Guitar heaven on this one.
Oh yeah! Nice recording! This is superb! Love those guitars.
Nice ambience to the track. The vocals and music compliment each other.
