Something I did last year - A song about the crazy college days (Or Uni where applicable :) )
Bad Old Days
Everybody's drinking their wine
Driving slow and taking their time
Better off when I sip moonshine
Not rubbing alcohol 'cause I…
A little rough but I loved making it.
My friend Dave had bought a Roland GR-20, so it was critical he did the solo in the middle and end :)
Oh, all made on the Boss Micro BR. Love that thing!!
This was fun to make!
I couldn't get anything right today so I just mashed through a guitar track and overlayed vocals. But now I kind of like the song so it will have to be redone.
So sit back and relax, don't shower or shave and have a beer!

A few of you know I accidentally wiped out one of my SD cards that had all my works in progress on it. I'm just starting to piece it all together again - A slow process. This was supposed to be a reprise to "In My Head", but ended up being in…

I recorded this one to a dimming flashlight on the 25th after a windstorm took out my power. I couldn't see the lyrics anymore so I ad libbed and hummed the rest out. My recording device is battery operated, which is cool.

Cool, glad you got the jam on sojourner. I can't wait until the next cd is done. I couldn't take working on the new studio anymore so I hooked up the old one and went back to recording. I've got 50 million ideas built up after not playing for a few weeks, but I did play a lot of acoustic so i'm sure a few of those goodies will make it up soon. Rock on my friend. :)

A Halloween collab we did last fall that I thought was pretty cool. Designed to scare old ladies and make babies cry :) I love the way the song peters off in the end.
All tracks recorded with the Boss Micro BR, mixed with Audacity and mastered…
still one of my personal faves. - although i'd wish to redo some parts, i'm stuck with this version, since i don't own one of the synths used there anymore..
(original photo)
I picked up on one of Norm's wonderful grooves.
I added some bass, guitar, horns, and a basic drum track. Kicker and snare with a few cymbols. I didn't want to walk on Norm's fine, fine, percussion.
Thanks Norm for allowing me the opportunity…
A second version with the initial lead guitar standing alone...a little cluttered after a few listens and some constructive feedback!
Norm's Groove for St Monica inspired this one. Thanks Norm!
Lead Guitar, bass guitar and acoustic guitar…
A long over due changing of the acoustic strings led to this epic production. 40 tracks and 34 plug-ins. Good Gravy that's a boat load of tracks. All kinds of stuff happening.
Enjoy!
you spend your days and your night times

Nothing special, the last track I wrote and recorded for this unfinished CD.
last eve there was a beautiful moon
dancing in a blue black sky
outside my piano room, it called to me
this tune is a one take playful moment, loosely based on the main theme from the 2nd mov of my piano sonata,,, i only toned down about…
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
WARNING! ADULT CONTENT or goofy great........
After a week of computer crashes, I finally got my gear all back to normal. I got my drum kit hooked up yesterday and did a test run which led to this bit of Saturday morning fun that only

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…
This is a microtonal Jazz-ish piece produced with some newly developed techniques.
Norm Harris provides the excellent percussion. I probably could have made it easier on myself by not being so chromatic… but there it is.
The piano, bass…
A personal anti-war song...or something like that !-)

Because of that,
I can make it stop.

Thanks, bro.
Everything I do is recorded with a Boss Micro BR, either plugged in to the guitar jack or using the built in mic for acoustic/vox. Sometimes I'll upload the tracks to audacity for further mixing, but not very often.
This is a 3/16 Bembe on tuned congas, played with mallets. I've arranged it (at the very kind suggestion of Vaisvil & ReefWalker) in a verse/chorus/bridge/capo fashion to get away from a straight pattern - I think this sort of arrangement…

Mighty fine! Only a listener will I ever be, and that is a great thing.
I love what you've done here! Swanky groove!
Love it!
I'm flying!!!! Diggin' this groove! As would Greg Brady :)
Yeah, man! Great tune you put together here. It does have it all. I thought you had a tight interaction with analog and digital here. Right on!!
Badass! I don't know how else to explain this - Love it!
The whistle and the strump were tight - Very nice!
Love it!
Not sure how I missed this one. The key word here is beautiful - I agree. Wonderful piece - Straight to the PiePod
I just finished watching War of the Worlds, and now I'm scared shitless after listening to this! "Killer" stuff...

This rules! Love the bass and that Beck/Zappa hybrid sounding guitar. Solid!!!

This is awesome - I don't know if you remember that old Amiga game Captain Blood, but this reminds me of that a lot!
Solid!!
