In 2001 my most recent band, Hoss Williams, recorded a four-song demo, and each of the four bandmembers contributed one song to it. This was mine. It's loosely about growing up in the country and being a teenager ripping around in clapped-out…

I appreciate my wife every single day I'm alive!!!

This tune hopefully shows the culmination of my musical influences (namely, Mick Karn (R.I.P.), Adrian Sherwood, Bill Laswell, Jah Wobble...) while also painting a visual picture...as it was written and recorded in one day after I went free-diving…

This piece is for solo viola. No electronics or processing were used. The fantastic technicolor performance is by Jessica Meyer.

this was originally a song about breaking through paradigms but turned into a song about a girl. Keys and string samples from Korg, MIDI with the old Ensoniq, one diving board. Thanks for the listen ,enjoy... RW

Demo #3. We've all been there - so we all know this conversation VERY well.

Lost in the shadows of my mind. Finally finding the light.

From dis-content and dis-harmony following to the beat of another drummer.

Descending though the darkness searching for the moment of clarity.

This is a remastered version of DJam, uploaded previously, with Darrin Kobetich on mandolin. Look him up on myspace, he's an incredible guitarist! I am playing a National Estralita resonator tuned to double drop-D.

Hey, I think I've heard this chord progression before! Part of the Record Every Month challenge (Jan2025)

This came to me as kind of a fun thing to try. Definitely not meant to be serious. Hope you like it :-)

Tworegs visited and we couldn't help but get at least one colaboration song done in the studio. I wish we would have had time to get some other songs he wrote in SF recorded in my studio but I was out of town during part of his stay, and to be…

Everything in order. Every meaningful vibration in sync.

Recorded next to a spring just outside of Capitol Reef Ntl Park, early 1980s. Pauline sings background..

Another one from the archives! Collab with glu from 2009 - I took his original guitar track and added vocals, then he remixed and made about four more versions, but this is my fave.

Faintly melancholic rendering of an age-old concept

always liked this song, hats off to Radiohead Cheers!

CALIFORNIA Capo @ 4 in C/Am I’m (Am) going back to California A little place in the San (E) Joaquin (Am, stepping down A G F# F E) Where the back pasture builds To Sierra foothills And Kaweah tumbles down cool and clean I’m going back…

Graveyard BioSun, Don't worry I'm not trying to be politically correct.

"Big daddy came out to play"

Last of the archives for now. A set of reels from the Last Nights Fun album. I did pipes, whistle and guitar on the last tune in the set. There's a live version of this up here too. This is the studio cut

It's yours if you want it. I'm open to making changes

This is a fun idea Greg has, and I can't wait to hear more. He sent me an acoustic and vocal track and asked me to complete it. I stayed up most of the night jammin' it. :) It's a bit loose around the edges because I didn't work anything…

Staying up early or going to sleep late. :)

Just some sounds I stumbled across during "rehearsal".

Another with Johnny this one with a whole lotta love thanks Johnny
