The story of Elisha and Elijah. We sang this in church this morning. We got my daughter to play a clarinet solo for it. She's only been playing for 5 months, so we're really proud of her and excited to have one more way to "color" our music.

Not a song, just an improvisational skit in which I played one of the Magi who visited the Christ child. (I'm a short Japanese-American from Hawaii, hence the "Wee King" and "Orient" jokes)
Such an entertaining interview.
I absolutely loved the modern influences included as jokes. The whole interview was informative, fun and so well done. I noticed the room was very quiet - everybody listening. Your summary at the close showed your joy in your beliefs. Bravo!
This is a guitar idea our friend Doug worked up for one of our Christmas songs. I'm posting it in case Amy gets a chance to listen from work. Hopefully we'll record a new, full version before Christmas!

Wrote this on a lonely, cold and rainy day in Silverton. Amy was at work, Sarah was at school, and I was wandering around town, a stranger in a strange land.
Wrote this for my Uncle Arthur Furuta when he passed away. He was a jovial guy with smiley eyes, and always had nice things to say to us kids. I imagined him joking and telling stories even from his hospital days, until the light finally faded...
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…
Had these backing tracks laying around on my drive for a while and didn't know what to do with them, so grabbed my Ebow and a fretless electric that I built for myself a couple years ago and had a go. My fretless playing is really in its infancy…
I swore that I would NEVER upload this. Was having a bad day trying to loop "nice" acoustic guitar sounds and got frustrated so grabbed my Taylor and plugged it into a cheesy Effects box and straight into the looper. Started twiddling knobs and…
Archival stuff from my distant past with former bandmates in Scartaglen. A set of traditional Irish tunes. Rescued from a cassette tape done at a concert back in the early 90's. Myself on Uilleann pipes and whistle. Mike dugger on guitar and fiddle…
More stuff from the ancient archives rescued from the same cassette tape as Last Nights Fun. This time a set of 3 Irish reels Live at a concert back around 1992
Several years ago I had a short lived duo with an oboe and English horn player named Nat. This is a demo from that period. It's an old old chord progression of mine that never really had a melody and Nat improvised this melody in the studio to…
The coyotes in the woods they’re all lining up for the kill
And the coyotes have sharp teeth and they’ve learned how to use knives
And they’re picking the locks and stealing into your house nd drinking all your poison
Now you’re packing the…
Rough sketch of a proposed dreamy 12 string piece that I couldn't pull off on the 12 string so did this quick electric version with vocal pads. Not sure of the recording quality- sounds OK in my cans and kinda crappy on my monitors. Recorded march…
Wow, I had my eyes closed while listening to this, but when I opened my eyes in the middle, I could swear I was seeing light particles moving around to the music! Mahalo!
Similar in feel to the other Fragile Moment track. Mostly acoustic guitars recorded sitting in my shop on the H4N and then finished up in Cubase just this morning. September 9 09. Maybe a nice one for bedtime
Solo acoustic guitar recorded January 2nd 2009. Hope to do a longer more developed version at some point ,but for now just a short version to learn more about using new DAW software.
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode

Beautiful. It did, indeed, take me on a nice dream...
Thank you for this. It helped to calm my spirit today, and I did need it. Mahalo!
