The Mystery of a dream .... My eyes were closed Belief was bursting at its seam There was no hello All I heard inside was terrible scream From me From me From me I had no control Too soon the darkness took a hold It held…

Nothin' but the ol' tenor. No FX, no mods, no nuttin'. Just straight-up tenor sax in honour of its inventor's birthday. Hope you're having a great one Adolph, wherever you are!! Submitted to Sound-In "Whatevah" for 2-9/11/2023.

Improvisation recorded on 10-30-2023. I was messing around with different instruments on the Arturia V intro, and found the "Funk AD" Clavinet preset to have a really nice sound. I messed around with it for a while, then found a few chords…

EMPTY ROOM It’s hard to explain away---- the stars in the sky And it’s hard to explain away---- what happened to you and I A slow entanglement---- of dreams and desire And the world was born---- in a ball of fire, a ball of fire…

A second ghost story, but of a different sort. Once again in Hungarian Minor.

It's October and that means time for ghost stories. This one came out of a couple of songs posted last month in Hungarian Minor. I found that to be a spooky scale, so I built on it for a couple of songs this month.

Bret Harold Hart: wring-that-neck guitar Eric Wallack: bass and percussives Jeff: voice and text

October 2023 A-side? It started with the stupid singsong thing I remember hearing as a kid and then mutated into Meshuggah... with a special cameo at the end of the track.

October 2023 B-side? Halloween/spooky music always calls for theremin. I don't have a thermin, so I made do with what I had.

I have a relatively easy life. Today I recognize that through song. Still writing a Song a Day through October.

Recorded around a campfire in the San Rafael Swell.

Live looping under Echo Bridge in San Antonio, Tx.

Here's a current draft of a traditional tune I really like. There are several recorded versions out there.

A work in progress with some of my pals on wikiloops.com.

Done with my pal Mark Goldberg and Steve Caustrita.

A work done with Igor from icomp.

This is a track that I did in 2010 that appeared on first issue of the dearly departed Ramen Music.

The MN coffee table is back!!!! We have a new member too - Joel Schaubert, who joined Mark Lofgren and Greg Connor - veterans of the coffee table. Once again we wrote this song and recorded it in my backyard coffee table (hence some of the wind…

This was incredibly fun to write record and sing! Far from my best work - it's not a personal story - but recording it was a good time.

The 10th track from album Paradise. A funky blues instrumental to end the album. :)

The 4th track from album Paradise. A poetic devotional style tune.

The 3rd track from album Paradise. My version of an R & B tune.

7th track from album Paradise. A country style tune.

9th track from album Paradise. A country rock feel for this tune.

Not the best recording, but I wanted to pay homage to my older brother who passed away a few days ago. I recorded from our baby grand, and then lowered in a few steps so I could sing.
