Mining the archives a bit. This is an alternate take of my "Jimi Jam" from a couple of years ago. Live to 2 tracks with the Jamman. Really only sounds OK when cranked up loud enough that your eardrums threaten to meet in the middle. LOL!!

A little study using Dmin6 and Dmin7 with a little D dorian dressing. The cover art in the mp3 is by thomwisdom: http://www.flickr.com/photos/thomwisdom/2605283686/

When the student is ready, then the teacher appears And you’ll never get clean until you’ve had it up to here You’re at rock bottom I used to take hard shots of spirits and suck down Tourneys and what a disgrace You have to say “I’m to be…

The song titles have nothing to do with the lyrics. They were just cool placeholders...then they ended up staying the titles. * Disclaimer: I understand that most of the songs on this album are pitchy and hard to listen to. I recorded all…

This is more of a description than a song. It's my contribution to the Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show monthly song writing challenge: "Write a song about your first car."
