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 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!
Raymond eh? You're below Pawtuckaway State Park near the meteor impact crater about 30 minutes away from me. We should get together sometime & record...;>) Do you ever go to Henderson's Pickin' Parlor in Candia?
I went once about 2 years ago and played drums. Lotsa fun but a stupid thing to do with a bad back!

I love you. And I'm watching you... :)
All one take into the Boss MicroBR hole and cleaned up a little. I'm the red headed stepchild of recording...
Love You
Some people want to know you
Wanna put their arms around you
Buy you a drink…

Am i listening to Steve Miller meets War meets Zappa here? This is soooo cool!
You should get Bowie to sing backup on this!
I prefer angel cake though....;>)

I hate to say it, but your guitars tuning drives me insane (in a nice way) but I can hear the song and it's cool. Your vox are very good. Thanks for the compliment on Stromfront, yes, I'm a chorus ho'...;>)
Stereo chorus is even better! I use it on guitars & vox (if it's good enough for Ozzy, then...;>)

Launched my friend. Well done yet again. I like how you "phrase" you vocals. That's my new word for the month.
P.S- "The devil might get me
On any given day
He'll come up from behind
And drag me away"-- love it.

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.

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.

A personal anti-war song...or something like that !-)

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…
Comments on launched's stuff
Very cool mate tops.
Top track mate very cool.
geez, if college had been this fun and sleazy for me, I might have actually graduated. great song!
Raymond eh? You're below Pawtuckaway State Park near the meteor impact crater about 30 minutes away from me.

Lotsa fun but a stupid thing to do with a bad back!
A groovy tune!
Get a bigger recording deck! So where in NH are you? I'm in Allenstown, a bit south of Concord.
Love the vox! Reminds me of Paul Simon...;>)
Chorus on vox! I love it! This is a catchy tune, I'd love to hear a 'heavier' drummer on it.

YeaH!!!
In a word..... Killer!!!!!!!!
I like consistently like your style of music.
beautiful song, i liked the recording of the vocals, congrats!

I dig this big time bro!
Oh yeah!! corn whiskey grows on trees around here.
I like the harmonies man. Nice, pleasant vox.
bummer about the memory card, I know the feeling, losing songs blows. I like the song, lyrics are awesome too

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...
That, my friend, was freakin' awesome! You are one talented sumgum!!!
Ha, way to "get back into it" after your troubles! Awesome and hilarious at the sanme time!
Sweeeeeeet!!!! Wonderful playing, loved it!
This rules! Love the bass and that Beck/Zappa hybrid sounding guitar. Solid!!!
Devine and powerful!
Damn, I'm addicted now. This is killer shit!
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!!

Yeah, this is pure gravy, bro! Spicy and lively. That cowbell is awesome and mixed perfectly!
