Every now and then I feel the need to make a beat that's completely out of character for me. Today is one of those days.

Written by an unknown preacher in Dalton GA in the late 50's/early 60's, this song was popularized by the gospel duo, Don & Earl, then-stars of WWVA-AM's Jamboree. Mama Corn's dobro-player brought the song to the band, having sung it in his…

A snippet of Seeing You Again, from Mama Corn's self-titled CD. Written by Ben Nelson, and originally recorded and performed by the influential 70's PA bluegrass band, The Grass Strings. The song tells of the singer's regret at walking away from…

Snippet taken from Mama Corn's self-titled CD. An original tune written by our guitarist, Bruce Forr, "Goin' Up The Mountain" showcases the band's easy-going nature and lush vocal harmonies. A bit beyond traditional bluegrass, the song never strays…

Mama Corn is popular with several distinct audience types. Fully capable of pleasing the most finicky traditional audience with favorites from Flatt & Scruggs, The Stanley Bros, and Bill Monroe, the band is also very popular with Americana…

Written by John Stevens, Grieving Old Man is the lead-off track on Mama Corn's debut CD. A tale of unrequited love, the song's upbeat melody and catchy chorus make it one of those songs that stick in your head long after you've heard it.

here's the lyrics: Inside a casket, ... broken dreams six feet under, it starts to leak six feet over he gets a whiff assembles the puzzle piece by piece on salty water a thought is born sailing regardless of a coming storm the mast is broken…

Another one from my ambient crackpot series. This features two instances of my new instrument the Novaphone 340 Imperial. A grand name for a grand instrument (Xylo just didn't do it justice). The first Novaphone is playing three samples…

This is an expirement. I started this song during my first RPM Challenge attempt in 2007. All I had recorded was the rhythm guitar, bass, and the drum program. I want to start using garageband for my recording but I had never gotten around…

The rhythm guitar is a scratch track. Can't you tell?

The guitar is my 12-string. I only had a couple of minutes left on the tape so I threw on something short.

This is about everyone in my family being on the same page about how to go about dealing with some scary health symptoms a loved one was showing.

Shoot as in, with a camera. Get it?

I give up! I totally bit off more than I was willing to chew. Three things. One, I wanted a song to hit 10 minutes. Two, I wanted to record a song in sections and then edit them together later. Three, I wanted to program something in 7/8…

Another Lovey song about my Lovey.

These songs were written during the most ridiculously awful winter I can remember. The damn blizzards just kept coming and coming.

Why is it that the first song I work on when I start a writing/recording project almost always comes in at less than 2 minutes? Who knows.

This is not much of a remix as it is a remastery of one of my favorite battle themes. Took me quite a while to do from a sheet. Basically I just took what instrument VSTs that I could find and played their parts in FL Studios.

Elvis had to have a dabble on this one.......

Rehearsal take from our trio. This was the first time we played through anything together, so there is a lot of cool potential with this and we'll keep trying. Hope everyone enjoys it. http://www.facebook.com/Boris.Shpitalnik

Apologies to Peter and the rest of Genesis - from back when they were good - 1974 And the lamb lies down on Broadway. Early morning Manhattan, Ocean winds blow on the land. The Movie-Palace is now undone, The all-night watchmen have had their…

Inspired by Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Pirsig, all the lyrics are taken from the book and spoken/sung by Peter Gorden. It is an experimental piece.

The Fluctuating Reality Club in english

I was playing around with some riffs inspired by Kirk Hammett's master of puppets riffs. This is what I came up with :) The timing is a little off and it's needs refinement, but as a rudimentary riff, I think it's one of my best thus far.

I declare my ADAT 8-track to officially be a dinosaur. Welcome to the 21st Century. This is the first completed song written and recorded entirely in GarageBand. I started it last night and finished it this morning. The rhythm guitar is my…
