White Light was written in June along with 10 other "Off the cuff" tunes. Just before the great flood in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Our house was flooded and slowly being rebuilt. This is 4th of the 10 to be recorded.

A new version of an old song I wrote back in the late 80's. This version is prob a bit too slow but it's one of those things you get used to after awhile. This recording was also suppose to be a "study" version and then the real recording made…

i had fun playing my keys along with this one...what the progression you are using? I seem to have found Emaj to be prediominant. Along with c# d and e in part of the catchy melody line?? I'd have to play around with it some more to be sure...thanks for sharing!

I had this old song sitting around and decided to re-do it. The chorus used to be slightly different.
The drums are from "Drummer" and the song is played using "Pointless Picks" Recorded in "Garage Band" and Mastered in "Tracktion."
This is a re-do of "Up on the hill" done the conventional way. I wrote the words 1st.
This is my 1st attempt at using Logic Express. I should learn most of the basics by spring. :)

This song has sat around for quite awhile with a different melody. While the old melody was alright I thought it was too sappy. So I changed it.
I don't care for this recording, I think it's too busy. It's one of those things that get out of hand…

2nd of the 24 songs I have recently written. Simple fluff that started as something different. I could have done a better job on it but as I've said before "I'm lazy" and if it seems just "OK" I'll pop it up there. Hope y' like it!!

I wanted to have a banjo fiddle tune but i still haven't learnt to play either instrument, so this is my famous 1 string banjo technique, with mandolin and guitar. It's style is inspired by meeting Morgan O'Kane and Ferd 4 last…
I'm sill looking for better lyrics for this but i like listening to it. EDIT i found them - see v2

An unaccompanied song about bedtime. Not a lullaby though. Oh no!

Final version of this tune - voice and guitar, banjoe accompaniment
i'm still getting used to this new mic and finding my voice sounds different with or i'm singing differently because of it. So .. feedback appreciated, and if you like it…
Sonically it's very good. Very clear and a good mix. Maybe it has a bit of harshness that could be EQ'd out but it might be hard to pinpoint. Once you do then that should be good from then on to always use that EQ. I would experiment until you get the sound you like. Still, it's a very good recording. And, another good song!

it needs a fiddle but it has a mandolin, a chicken banjo and some excellent backing vocalists

My first attempt at a Blumlein or Mid/Side recording. This one is actually a mid/side recording as I used a directional mic in combo with a figure 8 ribbon mic set at 90 degrees from the main mic. Thanks to Pat Broaders for the loan of the ribbon…
Kinda rough. I'm uploading this mainly to share a guitar technique I've been working on. I'm wearing a slide on my picking hand and using it to alter pitches in single line phrases. There's a lot more can be done with this technique that I've…
RosaLinda, unbeknown to me took my song Ellis Road and made this fantastic song called "Tactual Sensation." I was very pleased!! Linda is from Sweden and now lives in Norway. She does not have an account here but perhaps soon. Anyway enjoy.

Thanks to all who listened to my song(s)! I really appreciate it.
Thanks Norm. Sorry I'm late responding. By all means add some percuss to this track if you like. I think it would be cool

Stu you on a roll!! Of course this is RPM. But I am enjoying the journey anyway!
moosestachio fine with me! I know how hard A-Capella is. You did an excellent job doing it! It has just the right timbre.

Stu does it again!! You da man!
