billy boy where did you go
sittin in a pile of snow
come on down its gettin cold
for the time is getting old
well we made our way to the old wigwam
frozen lake and wind was calm
standing bow did strike a deer
to feed the tribe…
A lil rocker influenced by some of my faves, Springsteen, Petty etc.. well i left my home and family
and made my way out west
i lost my job at the steel mill
im a hoping for the best
in this life
for my kids and wife
just outside of Davenport…
I have been wanting to do some Cream covers for awhile now and with the passing of Jack Bruce it seemed an appropriate time to record some sort of tribute to him and the band.

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…
Had this one sitting around for a year of so. I revisited it on Saturday and put down a couple guitar tracks and did a quick mix and master session on it. The inspiration came from a really cool melody/guitar riff a friend sent to me. Right off…
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…

Came up with this chord progression on the bass one day and hit record for the hell of it. Came back to it and decided to throw a quick lil melody over it. I think this is going to close out the "Just a minute?" playlist so I can move on to music…

A complete re-vamp of a 6 year old song. Sure I wrote the lyrics while on holiday in Majorca, rewrote a couple of lines, picked up me ole guitar last week & just played this tune & it all seem to fit. Could need a lay down now !!!!
I started this thinking it would be a tune with the emphasis on my guitar but as it progressed I heard horns and then all these other things happened and this is what I ended up with.
Pete Thompson on percussion and Angie Thompson on bass. Produced with Pete 123112
HAIRCUT
They sent me a letter. A ticket to ride
Portland to Frisco on that Big Overnight
Brand new clothes. New pants and new shirt
Brand new boots to kick…
Mixed some music clips, and original compositions together for a brain killing trip through electronic glitch folk. This came from a severe lack of sleep.
Amazing you could pull this off or even imagine this amalgamation of music from different ends of the musical spectrum being arranged and work. Thnx for the great comment. It had me rolling :)
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.
Smear this all over your face. You know you want to, IT'S EAR Food!
(I once found a lobster trying to invade my space in that area while awakening on the shore of a Tropical Island post Shipwreck..)
I put the music together last weekend ... my friend and bandmate Rob George did the bass track for me last Saturday ... I used my godin acoustic electric for the guitars ... did the vocals this morning and wish I had more time for the mix…
This is incredibly good ...came back for a another listen...looks like only one of my comments came thru the other day on all these current tunes of yours. That Godin sounds great. Love the message here. Happy New year.
This groovy song was written by the great Jimmy Smith.
Project Wakerobin is:
Kevin Gerzevitz - Hammond Organ
Jason Stewart - Guitar
Marc Carmi Smith - drums
Poor old Reg is down in the dumps and has started comparing his life to those of others more successful ...the go getter's in life...which poor old Reg has never really been one don't get me wrong he works hard but it always seems to be for someone…

Yeah, nice one. I'm with captgene - strong bass part and you're good to go.
Well done, slip a strong bass riff in there and a super hit.
Cool . Major bass , Blues twisted melody . A keeper. Develop this please
Too brief -- such choice guitar work needs more room to spread out and engulf the listener's soul.
Nice lil melody :)
Sweet, too short!
Oh yes, nice sounds.
