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).
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..

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

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,

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...
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!!
