some mistakes, like playing live, but i make them right quicky. the song is for halloween and make of the lyrics what you will.
the drums have phaze on them. some of the soft guitars have phaze and flange. the beginning 2 1/2 mins are slow…

It's the rock part in the middle that grabs me most - love your vocal in that section, almost fluid and liquid.
I like how the whole things hangs together. Just waiting for that weird ending now.... ah here tis...
oh yes, very cool ending!
yikes, hope i don't disgrace the beatles with this one. i tried to stay to the spirit of the song. obviously i didn't have a sitar and i didn't think i should need to re-create every sound effect they did, but i did many! one of my fav psyche…

it was a fun song to do and had different changes of some different musical styles than i've done before. overall im pleased with this songs outcome.
especially since from this point forward i will be making music on a different, better pc. i…
i wrote this in 81 originally called - battlecry. but i updated it to a sci fi type armageddon story. a video would have went well with this but, maybe some day. all explosions, firepower, helicopter sounds and all battle sounds did on keys…

a song about an old flame that just won't burn out. it's a ballad of sorts, with a harder ending. i did this in about 7 hours. in the middle section i am playing guitar without a pick for the first time in a recording (big deal hey?)

it IS a big deal in my book. took me years to try it on electric. After I saw Sonny Landreth doing it I had to try. I'm glad I did, - now to listen. CJV
my tribute to a very underrated, underappreciated band. 40 yrs ago thier self titled lp came out, and i cover one from the lp as a tribute on thier 40th anniversary. im not a lead guitarist, and a new singer, so please bear with me on that.
one of my fav moody's songs.
it would have turned out far better if i had a melotron. (i wish!) this is an ecological song.
i had it running in my head for the last week, and so much so it was also playing in a dream i had,
so i figured it…
here is my cover of the turtles covering the byrds with - you showed me. one of the mellower songs i've done in my collection of creations.
i spent many hours on it, there is a harmony blunder very briefly, about half way through but other than…
chris. in this one i used no fuzz no distortion, i had considered it but i didnt want it too heavy. i used amplifier vsts. and brought down the distortion and pre amp, etc. even for the leads. if i used my fuzzes and distrotion vsts, it would have been heavy heavy heavy! i wanted it closer to what cooper was doing.
actually this is early 76. prob about late may. i recall cause we just got steve in the band, and already he was talking to mohsen about kicking me out of the band. go figure!

Apocrypha is a progressive rock song in the sense of Rush more than ELP or Yes. I had come up with the guitar and via my GR-20 the strings - everything else you hear was performed by my long time collaborator Frank Miller (Phantasm777) - so that…
this is based on an improve from back in jan 75, then guitarist - chris layed this riff out and i never forgot it. it was the first time i was in a band as a bassist. the rest of the riffs are mine and everything else disastrous done in this song…
thanks, i think you mean the key solo, i decided not to try thier solo and do my own almost inna godda da vita, type keys. also in the second go round of vocals, i made the guitar chord play backwards for the background.
With Frank Miller on drums and bass as the band "2" - a rescue of a late 90's song grabbed from 4-track.
No Place
I'm lost, you're lost
Ships at sea
There is no place
We can be
I'm lost, you're lost
In this world
There is no…
a song about hoping for the best for all of us. the ending riff is about angst and disapointment and i use a flange on the ending lead guitar work. the closing of the song inspired me to make another song called locked door to my soul.
thanks, thats a flange, i have come to see how both cn be similair yet completely different as well, cool effects to have, flange and pahse, among others.

Ah wow!
very spacey!
Excellent!!
much tighter! and nice keys!
funny thing about it is that I thought Steve was trying to get rid of me. Perhaps he was a master of the mind f**k
Like it. There is so much going on in here. I'm a bit tired at the moment anyway, but I just lay here on the sofa and let it wash over me.
Huge and rocking.
Pretty good - Rush has nothing on you! Of course we composed (but never performed) Singer's Overture quite some time before 2112....
I'm glad for the positive outcome. :-)
actually it was finger strumming rather than picking
that makes more sense...
yes, the bluesy part.
do you mean the middle - blues part? thanks.
interesting hearing this version. I of course remember playing the guitar parts. I really like what you did with the middle here! - cjv
no the middle jazzy part is
so the distorted part is w/o a pick? How unusual! Very 70's sounding - very floaty - cjv

the self titled is a fantastically awesome album. one of my favorite albums of all time :)

thanks for the listen!
thanks chris, do you mean my bass playing is getting closer to how I played back then? I really want to get those skills back! slowly but surely!
the wizard would be kinda hard with no harmonica.
damn! i thought i did a pretty good job on this one! ahhh well!

it was fun and surprising. it turned out better than i had hoped.
