Something you don't often hear from me and that's
straight drummin'. On this track I left the

Au Naturale! A song a friend of mine wrote. Performed by me, of course. All recorded on the Boss Micro BR. It's a song about sharing. Very rough, raw and unplugged. Kind of embarrassed to "share" it - Please excuse the mistakes and hacks! One…

What we are is mostly water
On our way back to the sea
I have made this trip so many times
I'm just glad you're here with me
Fall alone or fall together
Either way we will be one
You and me, we will reach the sea
And have need for names no more…

This is my 3rd home recording. I dug it out again and cleared the moth balls.

Originally this was a Van Halen-ish tune. Now... Well, listen for your self. This kicked things off for me. I really took inspiration from Mike Patton in Tomahawk. Very experimental with the voice hope you like it.

I kind of like the way it turned out. Kind of Bowie-ish. Love to hear some feed back.

There's a story behind this that's uninteresting to anyone but me. A short version is that my old, broken guitar (made semi-immortal with duct tape and instrumental willpower) needed to play this Dylan song before it is laid to rest.

What's your angle?
