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…

This is my first listen to this one, and it's good stuff, like '60's beach music with a little psychedelica and grunge added in. What is it with you -- don't you ever write a bad song?!
Had to really push the good wife sing this one. After a couple of years of serious health scares she had lost all confidence in herself. Glad I did my 'Phil Spector' trick on her. ( No gun involved !! )
I dig the slip=sliding rhythm. You're not only out of the box but several yards away from it. Digging the fresh view. Maybe Madonna wouldn't, but I would! Groovy -- Rock on!
Another new piece created using Digital Machine and Sine Waves Orchestra - two apps by Robert Attanasio http://www.robertoattanasio.com/
These are cool apps I hope to exploit more - this piece was just another test - but i Like it so i wanted…
This song tears me up. The picking is gorgeous but the lyrics are so emotional, it really pulls on my heart strings. One of the very best Political Folk songs ever.
A prime representative of what a Main Street Blues is and should be about. Very powerful lyrics indeed. So moving, and the music penetrates the heart. Your vocals are so real -- one knows you mean what you're singing!
FABULOUS! I dig the guitar, the harmonica, the lyrics, the vocals, but the handling of the drums was especially clever. You're just too cool. Rock on, Blues man!
This is a request from Gene Eric Mann
one of mine and Andy's older ones...we envisioned this a a soundtrack for a horror movie....Andy thought of the story because his son likes to go into the woods near his house and brng back sticks!!
this is…
(Em) A legend that the sailors told
Tales shared from long ago
(C) Secrets that are captured in the (Em) air
(Em) It comes to you from far way
Whispered roars that fade away
(C) Answers that are carried on the (Em) breeze
Only (C) heard…
The most beautiful, gorgeous Sea Shanty I've ever hear. So haunting, chilling, gripping... I'm in awe. The instrumentation, the melody -- you're a marvelous talent. Too real! Wow -- just wow!
A grunged up Main Street Blues. I hope you don't mind me saying the vocals should be louder than the guitar, but such lyrics shouldn't be drowned -- I want WallStreet to make no mistake about what's being said here. You're tearing up the fretboard -- fabulous!
So you stopped coming round
Your heart buried in the ground
It's a shock, it's a scene
You never say what you mean
Emotional landmines
You can see the stop signs
But you're not slowing down
One foot on the trip line
And the words fly…
From the first second of this song I was digging it. I love the instrumentation, the arrangement, the style -- very tasteful indeed! Great job -- Rock on!
Part two of the Sonic Portrait of Reed Wood in which Text to Speech reads Reed's Bio in text and code format. The musical element is a photograph of Reed interpreted by software run on an old iPhone and Reid's photograph as sound.
Your poetry is very good -- reaching, touching, penetrating. I dig your unique vocals. Your have a sweet, talented way with the guitar. Nice mix-down of sounds.
I think this would be perfect for the BG music of a scene in a Japanimation film, a scene of people rushing about on foot and passenger train, going to and fro across Tokyo. It's lively and has a hook. Rock on!

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

Rock on!

Fabulous! Love the banjo! Y'all did a fine, sweet job with this old Irish jig -- Rock on!
I really enjoyed the colorful composition of sounds and the panning effect of your mix-down. Really delicious. I was indeed entertained!
I dig the slip=sliding rhythm. You're not only out of the box but several yards away from it. Digging the fresh view. Maybe Madonna wouldn't, but I would! Groovy -- Rock on!
This one really works for me. Far out, SciFi-ish fun. What you generated here is definately a groovy journey -- very choice colors and flavors!

One of the best songs I've ever heard! I love everything, from the bass to the lyrics. You are a fabulous songwriter and musician -- Rock on!

Reminds me of some drugs I took in the mid '70's. Your sound experiment produced interesting results. Wondering what Lincoln would sound like.
Not many have the talent to improv with lyrics! Powerful, moving. You are certainly gifted and know your way around the keys. Great job -- Rock on!

A groovy compilation of sounds. Melodic enough even for those who are not House fans. It would add spice to any rave.
