It's October and that means time for ghost stories. This one came out of a couple of songs posted last month in Hungarian Minor. I found that to be a spooky scale, so I built on it for a couple of songs this month.

“Bats in Flight” composed, recorded, and mixed on 10/20/2023, for October’s 30 Day Songs challenge (30daysongs.com). “Bats in Flight” was also submitted to October’s REM Challenge (via RPM Challenge). “Bats in Flight” composed by W. Ng…

“Bela Lugosi's Dead” recorded and mixed on 10/14/23 and 10/15/23, for October’s 30 Day Songs challenge (30daysongs.com). “Bela Lugosi's Dead” written by Ash/Haskins/J/Murphy, originally by Bauhaus. Released on October 20, 2023. Happy 141st…

For all the messed up things in our society, I'm grateful for the relative safe of safety I, personally, enjoy here. We need to speak up for those who don't have that. Still writing a song a day about things I'm grateful for.

This is a really old idea exhumed from the hard drive - it's so old I don't own either of the basses played on this anymore! The guitar riff was born from an Apple loop that I twisted around and is one of those that sounds like the 80s again…

I'm grateful for the modern medicine that makes our lives so much more comfortable. Still writing a #songaday about #gratitude

This song started off about the natural beauty of the sky and turned in to the questions I ask when I gaze upon its awesomeness. Still writing a song a day about something I'm grateful for this October

I've been obsessed with this song since I watched a Rick Beato video that called out how the awesome guitar solo was criminally buried in the mix. Plus, it's yacht rock, and if there's one thing I love, it's yacht rock. So I set out to record…

You came for the Earth. You stayed for the Wind. That gets you the Fire. Tim - a voice Andy - a guitar Jarrett - A lotta voices, a lotta drums, and a fine, fine, FINE imitation of Michael McDonald.
