I've always been a fan of the Allman Brothers Band! This is one of my favorites that they do.... I played all the music to this and then I asked Mike [Holdempok] to put down the vox.... LG

first song in a long time. getting the rust out of my fingers.

All playing by me, Roland HD-1 (drums), godin xtSA, Epi Sheraton, bass, keys. Recorded/mastered on Boss BR-1200. Twilight turns into a psychedelic sunrise The vision has me right between my eyes Everything is glowing with a strange light…

I hadn't done an improvisation to tape for a few weeks, which on the one hand is not a bad thing: I have a number of concrete ideas that are still waiting for a recording, and have made a few in the last couple weeks, too. In any event, I took…

The planxty is about as high a form as one can get, and while this isn't a planxty in a traditional, musical sense, Tom deserves a tune. Tom is, indeed, just Tom as far as I know, and I did meet him in AA. His bottom--how low he went, that is…

I've had this tune for a while, but for whatever reason never had a decent approach to the arrangement until the last few weeks. I'm pleased with how it turned out, and particularly like how I stole a Sun Records Johnny Cash arrangement for the…

I've been listening to a ton of free jazz recently, and having just read Amiri Baraka's Black Music, I checked out Albert Ayler, about whom I'd heard for years. I was floored. I knew that John Fahey was a fanatic, and thought I'm not the world…

This, it turns out somewhat surprisingly to me, is the first original, vocal tune I've posted here. So be it: I like the tune, and the recording, after an initial try that was not only in too high a key for my voice (never a good idea) but was…

Ferryman - Vocals (slightly re-imagined lyrics), bass, rhythm guitar Dave Berry - guitar fills (r&l), lead solo, harmonica.

Blue Bird Sax what can I say. A fantastic off the cuff blues jam recorded Mother's Day weekend 2011. Please let us know your thoughts. BC-Bass, Mondo-Drums, Danny-Sax, Hojo-Sound The Band..........

Aside from the drum machine, this is a fully vintage analog take on what the young whipper snappers these days are calling "dub-step." The distorted guitar sound is actually fret-less bass (as is the case with all my tracks because I only own…

Reg knows why he drinks it was to forget but what it was he was trying to forget he realizes he has forgotten.............but now he cant stop.......

Thanks to Marc Halikas for bass & acoustic guitar. Lyrics: Happy. Sad Distant as the night and day Good and bad Hoping for a better way The thoughts of a happy past Sometimes will bring A measure of hope Sharing thoughts With someone that…

Improvised to tape, percussion first.

As an aside, I’ve also made a page on Bandcamp for my music. I was listening yesterday morning to the Carolina Chocolate Drops, and this tune, the first on their record, Dona’s Got a Ramblin’ Mind (or here, in iTunes), came on. Their version…

Last night I went to my meditation group, and in the portion of it where we are to share how our practice is going I made the point that I feel in the last month, having made a lot of changes to my life, like I’ve woken up from a 20-year bender…

I have recorded since 1998 to my computer, generally using ProTools but also Garageband. For various reasons, I am not in a position where I can record to computer easily right now. I do have a 4-track cassette recorder, though, and I dusted…

I used to spend time with my 4-track just starting to drop track after track, building up a recording as it came. I hadn’t done this for well over a decade until I did that last recording, a bit over a week ago. This one has a more conventional…
