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.
This predicament…
A little scratch track from a few months ago. A song about the trials and tribulations of being 11 years old. Watching Six Million Dollar Man, dodging bullies and pretending our bicycles were Harleys.
I was at a friends house and saw a little…
Finally getting to this song Mark. Are you teh man or what? This is really deadly. I find this to be a very serious song, killer. I love the lyrics, the part about the doggies in heaven, thats the deal. Its as real as it gets. Real, real real. Great song Mark.

:D There's always something to eat right there in the woods, where Mother Nature intended it to be. Just stay away from the mushrooms....
actually...it depends on what kind of mushrooms. hehe. A study found that shrooms can actually help with anxiety. I think u know which ones I mean....

Second listening. Still like it. I've never been an eleven year old boy, but I have two boys, so I think I've seen them in this moment. Love when the guitar comes in. Love the vocals, too.
Wish I could write songs like this when I'm drunk. Hmmm... maybe I need to start drinking more. Excellent acoustic jam. This one has a sort of Adam Sandler feel to it. I think it's a combination of your voice and the lyrics. Well done!
Coolest song I ever heard. And to think that you nailed it on the first take! I was laughing through-out the song (well, except the part about your dog getting the blue tongue - I almost cried at that part).
"I'll know it when I see it"
Is what she finally said
"If there was some other way
I'd do that instead"
And blindly without question
I followed down that trail
That led into the hidden night
Beyond the parted veil

This song…
Since Norm found himself in an acoustically great room, full of unfinished cabinets I couldn't help but add some acoustic guitar, crank it up and hope you like it Norm!
We went to visit my dad at his assisted living facility and they have a Yamaha Clavinova on which I improvised for a half hour to provide some entertainment. This is a ~ 3 minute excerpt from about half way through. This was recorded on my Zoom…
electric mandolin on 3 tracks - 2 bowed (right and left) with viola bow and 1 strummed just a bit and mostly ebowed (center)
Washburn bass
voice with effects
drum loops sliced and diced
This is a pop dance tune about a woman seeking to find a good man to spend the rest of her life with, but she doesn't want a "wannabe", but she wants a real man with real love.
I'm not sure if I'll keep the song title. Anyway, this song is more about feeling I guess. At times the song feels happy, then creepy, then sad or dissonant. How does this song make you feel?! Thanks for listening!
Hey, bro - Good to hear from you! Yeah, the rhythm git was a little hot because I always plug it in direct - All I have to record with for electric songs is pretty much an old Epi SG and a Boss Micro BR. Gnasty's lead was mic'ed with an SM57.
Anyway, catch you on the flip!
Well, I realized while listening to so many other great rough cuts and demos (and how much I enjoyed listening to them), that it was about time I contributed to the process. Rather than posting only completed songs, I decided to put up the rough…

I like the Mark Lanegan style vox.
This is brilliant - I love the blend between your awesome guitar and Normy's fine cabinetry masterpiece!
Yes - I love it.
Oh, yeah! I dig it.
Deeelish - Very nice! Pro and radio worthy.
Love your stuff. Excellent songwriting.
Only a minute into it and already predetermined to be completely badass!!! Killer tune!
I love crazy improv fridays...
To bits, bro!
This is a great Fri afternoon jingle. Makes me want to drink a boatload of beer!
I'm really diggin' this album, bro!
Yes, NH is taking AT by storm! Very brisk and edgy one, bro! Got the blood pumping!

This sounds like it could be a lost song from "The Cooler" soundtrack. I dig it!
Not sure how I missed this - Very nice! Great harmonica and piano, and I like the guitar effect. It's similar to the "Grinder" patch on my Micro BR.
Yes, this is going to be a good one. Ha, B what? I just retune strings for that kind of thing!
Good stuff - Now I wish I had not listened to this first. I'll have to catch the album in its entirety asap!
Very swanky, bro - Love the theme too!
Always liked this one.
Diggin' through the archives!
