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.
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!
This was a collab between my old friend Joe and I from a couple years ago. I recorded the basic track and sent it to him so he could play the main melody/ guitar solo over it. I took the ending of the guitar solo section and reversed it to give…

Haven’t uploaded any material in ages! I have been building custom guitars which has been taking up some of my spare time. This track features my first guitar build which I am playing over a backing track.
Recorded this one as a test track to sync with the video I shot for it. I am not happy with the computer virtual amp guitar sound on this. I will re-record this and mic my amp for that real cranked 100 watt tube sound.

That’s some nasty slide you’re putting down. Ripping it with the Epiphone! Getting right down to the gristle...
...and thanks for listening to my songs and commenting.
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…
I'm sorry to hear about your friend.
I get scared sometimes when I'm alone too much & I think about the ways people who have taken their own lives affect me. I guess it's easy to understand that it's not a matter of finding a reason to do it; it's a matter of getting help before any action is taken, & somehow getting through the quicksand long enough to find a reason to be OK again.

The Mornings Aint Warm

planted deep in the back of my head
are the seeds of things my daddy once said
and up sprouted this stubborn old tree
with fading roots and lofted dreams
there's still a couple of two by fours

Home Again
(boudreau)
I was brought up just north of New York City
Where the Merrit greets the Hutch
In a noisy house on a quiet street
Where the neighbors know too much
There's a weekend in spring when they throw out old things
and…
I started pickin' the riff on my godin acoustic/electric ... put it down and built from there but when came to doing some sort of lead I heard a bit of slide ... never really been a slide player but I new I had one somewhere ... searched everywhere…

I knew I was a rocker in my groovy leather pants
I looked at all…
Next in the little pile of songs from the shoe-box. This one has the date 27th January 1994 written on it, but it's describing an episode from many years earlier when I was, I'm guessing, something like 12 or 13 years old.
I had to go to a…

Dig the compression and analog dirt.
These are all goodies. Nice rockers! Nice crisp guitars and spot on vocals and harmonies.....a trademark.
Really good song. :)
Immediately liked!
Incredible....nice work.
Impressive playing. Cant get enough.
Ahhh....nice take cant wrong with Stevie Wonder with a reggae vibe.
Classic....nice live cover.
Classic....:)
I am diggin all the horns....
Bad ass tracks here once again. Always love the upfront big guitars. Horns give it a Beatles feel.
Impressive vocals....love the tone of voice...very interesting and unique vision comes thru in these songs...
Ooohhh like that slide.....thats a bad ass blues tune.
Nice delivery....straight to the point and drug tested employees a bonus!
Oh wicked! Thatis roadhouse jammin! Reminds of Jeff Healy Confidence Man. Killer.
Bitchin tune.
Soulful...rewind play again...
Peculiar.....no resolve...experimental journey.
Oh yeah...like the riff and the tones....killer playing RJ. Solo style similar to early Alex Lifeson.
Those changing guitar tones are very cool...has a green day feel.
