This salty man's a salty dog
His travels have left him weary
Got boots all lined up at the door
He's must be carrying stones again...
His salty wife waits on salty shores
Tending the child she carries
Washing his wounds with olive soap…
At the end of this road
Red rock and blue skies
And the wind calls
Plant your roots in the ground
And the clean air that the trees share
You can't hear a sound
Deep in the heart of it all
Morning dew at the sunrise
Covered in fog
Fires…
Listening to all your stuff (after your clear out) while I'm working. This one really jumped out at me and brought me over to comment (loving it all though!)
Some people talk to me
Ask me what I do for a living
Use some rocks to grind my grain
Little bit of whiskey to tickle the brain
Valley fever giving me rest
Smokestack choked out to my west
Drink a little of the H2O
Give it a little…
How long we've been waiting for this storm to end
Said we might go
Where the winds they do blow
Full steam ahead the blind captain said
Might take some time now
We might windup dead
Just bury those bones along that 2 note transfer…
As slowly I recall
These letters sent to you
As all things come to pass
I anticipate that I'll leave
This world for a new
Waiting for the letters that you'll send
Civil War
At 300 strong
Into the heart of Dixie we roam
We might be…
This salty man's a salty dog
His travels have left him weary
Got boots all lined up at the door
He's must be carrying stones again...
His salty wife waits on salty shores
Tending the child she carries
Washing his wounds with olive soap…
Whispers for dark words in my subconscious
The belief that reality doubles with your delusions
A thought that a handshake was once considered currency
Or a realization that man is the only predator you fear
Radioactive soul
Ain't got nothin…
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..

Not by a long shot! Trust me i use VERY basic recording equipment. Even my cakewalk program is like 5 years old. Half the time when I use my computer I cross my fingers to make sure is dosen't crash!!
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…
We originally wrote this song on a cheap home style kind of a Yamaha keyboard and a pair of Cobra walkie talkies. This studio version is much better. We kept the bleeps from the walkie talkies.
(response) that song is going to be the begining of the album (maybe). You nailed it again, but really the whole song needs work. I imagine it will be December or next year by the time i get this little project done. It's only ten tracks but i'm trying to blend each song together, into one story line. The vocals are going to just be placed here and there all over the cd, and the music will go from electric guitar, to acoustic, to distorted, and looks like a friend of mine is going to do some 8-bit stuff for the end. Which will be the same notes and key as the first just done all in 8 bit samples. Anyway, this is the hardest cd I have done so far.
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…
The drums on the Coffee with a little sugar song are all Norm. I took one of his drum beats and added some bass and guitar. All of my other songs are done with synth, using good real/digital/ samples and the program fruity loops.
Similar in feel to the other Fragile Moment track. Mostly acoustic guitars recorded sitting in my shop on the H4N and then finished up in Cubase just this morning. September 9 09. Maybe a nice one for bedtime
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
glad you like that one, really i'm just messing around, I have a few new electronics and I can't figure out how to get a solid sound out of them. Well there is a manual, but.....it's 200 pages long. I will read it eventually but the best way to learn is to just try different settings.
If you have the fever and the only cure is more tambourine, here it is.
MORE TAMBOURINE SOLOS!! (But you should probably wait until you have the house to yourself...)
Quick live recording on my buddy Jim's guitar while visiting him in Portland. The song hopefully speaks for itself. Eastern Europe gets me every time...
I had some lyrics describing a late nite cake baking experience kicking around. If I have a lot on my mind, dirtying every dish in the house seems like the right thing to do.
I stole some cool percussion from Norm and went to work. I also…

Nice groove going on...the lead riff is catchy
Pretty sweet guys! I've crossed the border a few times ;)

Chilled....worked perfect, great mix too! What kind of equipment/programs do you use to record? If you don't mind me asking.
Glad you liked that one!

Glad you liked the remix, thanks for the help! It's always good to have a second set of ears ;)
