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…

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

Live looping under Echo Bridge in San Antonio, Tx.
