On 10/27/2014 I uploaded this re-mastered version, dropping the first half of the vocals by 3dbs.
LIGHT MY FIRE by Jim Morrison
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn…
Justin, The drum on STEPPIN' ON SOME TOES is just poking the bass drum and the snare drum keys on my midi keyboard. Then I quantize it to the 1/16, because I'm lousy at playing on the beat, add some reverb to it and then pull the volume down until it sounds like it's way back there somewhere.
Sweet dreams are made of these
Who am I to disagree
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want…
Lyrics and music by Hank Williams Sr., but my cover is in Dm/D, with guitar and bass tuned to Drop D.
KAW-LIJA
Kaw-Lija was a wooden Indian standing by the door
He fell in love with an Indian maid over in the antique store
Kaw-Lija-A…
LOCOMOTIVE BREATH
In the shuffling madness
Of the locomotive breath
Runs the all time loser
Headlong to his death
Oh, he feels the piston scraping
Steam breaking on his brow
Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train, it won't stop going…

On Facebook, my sister in law (a middle school teacher) told us that my niece said the second day of kindergarten was even better than the first. My sister (an elementary school teacher) said something along the lines of yippee for good days…
The music was written in a hotel room in upstate New York. How rock and roll is that? I occasionally find myself very inclined to throw electric pianos at everything. This comes from such a phase. The part in question here was recorded using…
I can't believe no one commented or faved this awesome jam before me. I love the poetry and the vocals and the music. You truly ROCK, my friend. Rock on!
The realtors always disliked showing the old Victorian house on Layton Way. It gave them a creepy, clammy feeling. Especially in the basement where mad whispers and the sound of metal working off in the distance could sometimes be almost heard…
The music is quite fitting in consideration of the description of the house for which this sound file is named -- and I love it! I enjoy a creepy, haunting recording when handled with taste and mix down mastery, as evident here. Truly enjoyed every spooky second, especially when the voice came in!
AT The Mercy of The Fist
All music and lyrics by David Dingo
This song has gone through many different names and incarnations before I settled on this. At one point in time it was to be called "The Marionette's Song." Basically it is a song…
I wanted something slow and dirgish (is that a word?) and twangie. I sorta got that, not really. This is another one that I got weird with the time signature setting in GarageBand for iPad and then the drummer function on GarageBand for Mac…
DEAR PEGGY
Dear Peggy,I thot you'd like to know
That blue tile in our bathroom you said would have to go
I replaced with the slate that we bought at Home Depot
mmmmm mmmmm
Dear Peggy, The heat has killed the lawn
And water is so expensive…
A very different sort of song – interesting, sad lyrics, cool use of echo, nice, brief lead break. Painful but somehow sweet too. Good job of songwriting, but I hope you can get over Peggy – not meaning to get you started….
I dig the scale of the intro melody -- sounds related to Chinese Pop. You've strung together some tasty sounds -- this tune kept my interest throughout.
I've heard this melody before but am unsure who wrote the original. This is my version, written for a video I created. Check it out here:

You did a little Marlin Manson like cover. Nice arrangement.
You got the touch. You & gene both.
Always loved this song. The strange buzz is perhaps gonzo attempting to amply the doctor.
How much fun it must be to recreate this old chestnut. What a time that was!
This is groovy.
Such a cool texture.
Old Hank! just a head! LOVE IT!!!!!
Nice rendition of an awesome song!
cool version man!
Dig this a lot - again very earthy, organic quality in what you do.
Nice cover with a sense of your own thing. Nice earth in this Justin.
Have y'all checked out the video?
Great version mate. Dig the guitar.
exploding the jet stream.
Cool.
Cool guitar

A man and his guitar. Good vocals, interesting poetry, unique strumming style -- an all around fine recording. Great job -- Rock on!
Groovy -- Rock on!
COOL RIFFS!
This is the kind of music I can chill to -- enjoyed it, and the mood it delivered.
Trippy, fusion-ish, like Psychedelic Jazz. Intriguing and quite interesting and entertaining -- a delightful 5 minutes, thank you.
As deekaybe said, "...music like I like." Great job!
I'm DIGGING this -- it's a delicious groove: haunting, bittersweet, beautiful, and quite colorful. Stay groovy!

I dig the tuning. The delay has a haunting effect. A very colorful, tasteful, textured, interesting experience. Good stuff!
Really interesting poetry!
Solid, hardcore truth in those lyrics, and the music and vocals are quite fitting of the topic. Good job.
I'm floored.
Wonderful! The melodic intro instrument had a delightful vocal quality. You've strung together some great sounds -- a delicious composition.

This ROCKS! Very clever, brilliant. Rock on!
Masterful. Brilliant. Good for the soul.
Love me some slip 'n' slide! Nice vocal work too. Rock on!
