This is from a church service a few weeks ago. Wanted to try something new with it, so got some guys together and asked for a "Cowboy Junkies" vibe. Although we thought we got it better in rehearsal (is that often the case?), this at least captures…
Finally got Amy to record this one!
So many questions
What can we offer?
What can we give?
How shall we answer?
How can we praise Him?
How shall we live?
No, no worldly treasure
No, no earthly measure
What does the Lord
want you to do?
What…
Thank you, Bethan! I missed seeing this before! Guess what, this Sunday we are playing at a small Christian music festival! (Yes, really small - probably 50 or so people by the time we come on!) We'll have the help of a real backup band - Electric bass, Drums, second guitar,mandolin and vocal. It'll be our first time doing this! Yikes!
I wrote this for the commissioning ceremony of lay ministers at our church.
Not me,
but You
Not I
Only Your light shining through
Make me
an instrument of Your peace
Not mine,
Just Yours
Not alone
Only Your love opens doors
Make me
A vessel…

Mahalo to our wonderful friend who sent us a message. I'm so glad to hear from you and was hoping so much that you'd like this new version with Amy's voice, as I heard it in my head. We have another one I'll post in a minute that's a retro soul type song. Aloha from Keith and Amy

A song I wrote after President Obama's first election. I was so proud and hopeful. Not only the 1st Black President, but also the first from Hawaii!! I was just as moved and proud this election, with the added bonus of this being the first…
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…

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!
