Sam was a very articulate and kind friend; he spend way too much of his life in a wheel chair and yet demonstrated a lot of grace.
We lost him just over a year ago.
Among many other unexpected, Christ-like kindnesses, he realized at one point…
This is great. It's like it can't decide if it's Jazz or 20th century classical. Reminds me a bit of the first Mahavishnu record without the frantic aspect. That's it- I'm swiping some chord voicings from you for new inspiration
Just a spontaneous (and very rough) two hour tune. Written and recorded yesterday, edited and mixed today. I might as well get it uploaded now because I'll be spending the next two weeks preparing to move across the country.

This one was originally slated for the RPM, but I never got to it. I put together this layout one day, and it hasn't progressed since then, but vocals are coming. Does anyone have Tom Waits' phone number?
This is beautiful. It helps a Jersey guy understand that there southwester sitchiAshun.
Thanks for taking the time to listen and to comment.
Lets somehow colab someday.
best, kss

the first new song written for the RPM challenge, i love the guitar part, but the words were last minute. some people get tired of my anti-religion diatribe. oh well
Judge me, I want everyone all up in here
cast your stones for slandering…
It's actually a redo of one of my earlier songs. I changed the lyrics a bit, the title and rerecorded the whole thing. The original is called, "I've Changed."
I've got a really painful head cold right now. I thought between bouts of pain I would…
Something completely different- Uilleann pipes(Irish bagpipes) and synth. I wrote this tune over 20 years ago in the style of traditional Irish slow airs. It was recorded way back in 1991 for an album that's been out of print for over 15 years…
What happened after too much time on youtube watching live vids of "voodoo chile" Noisy obnoxious and very cathartic for me! Live to 2tracks with the Jamman

It may still have places to go.
Guitar loop from 2008. First loop where I bounced between different tracks instead of building part upon part. Flawed, but for better or worse, I rarely record something twice (why I left in the pop in the initial bed loop, I have no idea - well…

captivating. Real nice recording K. Some interesting FX too!
wow, really like this tune! lovely vox and melody
One after the other, outstanding...
Hauntingly beautiful!
a force to be reckoned with
Transported me somewhere infinitely cooler than my immediate surroundings, and in to the body of someone horribly classier than me.
I think Miles would have liked this one! Great track! And great songs all together!
Exciting Track!
apocalyptic- love it!
