This great old (Public Domain) song by Stephen Foster which I just do and has nothing to do with my current state of life but may not be true for others. I do this song in a most unusual way. That is to say I changed the melody of the verses…

Quite the tongue-twister, Jason's STILL trying to catch his breath after recording this re-worked traditional Irish folk song

Mick McGuire was "all that" when he was dating the family's older daughter (who was 40). As soon as he married her and spent all the money, poor Mick was subjected to his Mother-In-Law. Mother-in-Laws have gotten a bad wrap for hundreds of years.

Another Irish classic. This song tells the story of a group of pub regulars who, upon learning that the pub is on fire, head to the cellar to drink all the booze. You know, cuz it's free that way. What's a few burns?

This was the song that launched the entire SHAM ROCK album. This is what happens when you turn up the tempo, crank the volume, and add a horn section. As with most of these songs, we came up with our own music to add to these songs. So, the…

Have you ever heard a traditional Irish folk song re-worked as a ska song? No? How about with an additional Spanish horn riff? Well, now you have! This song tells the story of an unfortunate guy who hooks up with a girl in the kitchen of her boss…

This old song had a lot of braggin' in it. So, we couldn't resist giving it a bit of the old skool hip-hop flavor.

This song's extremely popular and so has been done to death. We decided if we were going to re-make this one, we had to try something new. So, we hit on the 7/4 time signature, the melodica (thought it was bagpipes, didja?), and arrangement. By…

Never, never again. How many times have we all uttered that statement the "morning after?" This song explores the regrets from the night before and blames it all on "devil drink cider called Johnny Jump Up".

Contrary to public opinion, the term "The Holy Ground" doesn't refer to the Emerald Isle. Nope. It's the name of a whore house that Irish sailors would visit. The Irish have quite a sense of humor...!

Modern classical piano piece

Something I came up with on a Sunday afternoon.

all the pounding waves drowning out the sound the sound is poison diving down below sinking very slow drown away the sound if I, can't make it stop your soliloquy I feel the death inside me in this succession the still and quiet I will succumb…

Another instrumental intended for Bethan..

I Believe by far my most beautiful instrumental track, much the opposite of You Forgot Bush's War Crimes. Maybe because I haven't commited any? I'm growing to accept that most of the time, my instrumentals should be short and sweet.

I've never heard "Horse with No Name" all the way through, and i wasn't trying to rip it off, but i really like the melody i wrote for this and it turned out to fit perfectly with the sound of the bass. Really proud of my composing on this track…

Drinking coffee at my modest kitchen table around noon, after just waking up, I starred out the skinny window next to my door and saw the back of a stairway. These Lyrics were partly inspired by Bukowski's style, partly remnants of growing up…

A couple months in a metal band called Season's Legion inspired this song. The lyrics were written in what we (Katie Lawrence Co-wrote) thought would be what their singer would have written for this type of song. The title was supposed to be…

Not much to say about this but that it's one of the first songs I actually wrote down every note for. I think that makes it a small cut above most of my instrumental songs.
