I wrote this song for the first person I ever fell in love with to tell her that I loved her. I figured that if she didn't feel the same way, it would be less awkward. Win!

I wrote this one about this guy I worked with in a two man show. Do I feel guilty? Meh.

Uploaded this one yesterday but it was a bit scrappy. So I've fine tuned it a bit. Left it a bit basic in case anyone wants to add bongos or zephyr. ( Is that the right word?).

We originally wrote this song on a cheap home style kind of a Yamaha keyboard and a pair of Cobra walkie talkies. This studio version is much better. We kept the bleeps from the walkie talkies.

If you're from San Diego, you may know this one. It was an underground club hit there in the late 90s.

This mix is so far from the original I don't even recognize it. A shooting occurred right outside while we recorded it. It's long, but I like it.

I picked up on one of Norm's wonderful grooves.
I added some bass, guitar, horns, and a basic drum track. Kicker and snare with a few cymbols. I didn't want to walk on Norm's fine, fine, percussion.
Thanks Norm for allowing me the opportunity…

A Black Eye Friday track that has previously not made it on to the interweb. Probably one of the last that will until the bands reincarnation is complete.
