This is a song I wrote with a heavy heart following the Columbine shooting. At the time I felt that the timing just wasn’t right to put it out there. I am not one to shove religion down anyone’s throat. Personally, I feel the true spiritual journey…

I went over to Reg's place the other day and he sort of scared me. He was out on his deck, pitching butts and spilling gin that he couldn't afford. He was a mess and had a crazed look in his eyes. I could tell he was ruminating again about…

A christmas song :)

More ambient experimentation with my fretless guitar and Roland GR20. This time I used some sounds from the magnetic pickups as well as the midi pickup. Kind of a cheesy synth patch I know, but it was working for me!

Cuz who can ever get enough of Ghost in the Machine? Lyrics: Stewart Copeland

Re-recording of an old fave rave of mine. The two melody guitar parts were done manually, panned hard left and right, the harmony part in the middle. Percussion is a finger tap on the back of guitar. All parts done here at home with an Epiphone…

This song is about an ex-girlfriend, who to be honest i wouldn't shed a tear for if she got hit by a bus.

Closure The look in your Eyes Took me by supprise back to a better place Where I could feel Oh how we breathed the air feels much lighter now. You talked of us. We spoke of trust I heard your words today A promise i'll keep if you should…

How precise I have to be? And where is the boundary beyond which comes unnecessary perfectionism?

The second CD.

A bit of improv done yesterday with my newly refurbished fretless guitar. Finally got the midi pickup to track almost right! Part of the sounds were gotten by rubbing a teaspoon on the strings.

i played clean guitar to a metronome then added bass guitar then i played drums over that. re-amped the guitar and bass.just a jam. nothing to see here. move along.
