Due to a series of unfortunate mishaps, our initial recording plan for the weekend has gone seriously awry. We did, however, have 15 minutes to write, record, and mix this little duet. Yep - another 15-minuter.

This is just a test. If this had been an actual song then the signal you just heard would have been followed by news, information, and directions from state and federal authorities.

A song written for my dear old friend, Kirk Lynch, who I've known for almost 20 years. For those who don't know, Kirk and I live less than an hour apart, but I swear it's been five years since we've seen each other in person, which just ain't…

My Pirate song. Sounds more like a polka band, but what the hell. I had fun doing it.

Just another dance mix with some poor transitions. A bit more effort went into resampling, applying effects that I think suit and post-performance touch up. As you can tell, I like it dirty. Critisisms are welcomed.
