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…

Here's number 08 in the saga of Reg……………..Reg has been so down since he stopped drinking…….he feels so alone he's gone and done something stupid…..but luckily he was found by the postman unconscious on the steps leading to his bedsit….the postman…
I watch the sun fall into a thousand silent shards.
Blinded, I bask where it all comes to pool.
Suddenly everything's okay.
But they're building right on top of me, and bearing
gifts made out of my own bones.
I hear the broken waves sing…
This one was recorded back in 2011 but I never posted it. I took a listen to it recently and liked what I heard with fresh ears. It's another of my surf tunes which I enjoy making from time to time.
I kinda like this one, although the cutting and pasting sounds really obvious to my ears. I usually try and get my punches cleaner than this, but I seemed to be slacking on this day. The lyrics are part of my current atheist bent. The guitars…
Not sure about the mix for this one. My left ear hears much better than my right, and I do all of my work with headphones. Sometimes when I have two doubled tracks split left/right I end up having a hard time keeping them balanced. I over compensate…
I have a manual called "The everything home digital recording book" and it suggest you should never use headphones to judge your mix down and mastering work, but whatever, I think you've done a wonderful, professional, masterful job with this number. It ROCKS! Rock on!
Trying out the new set-up with a zoom H4n and cubase LE6. I started to make a simple blues just to try out the equipment, but I really like how it ended up, so I thought I would put it up for listeners.

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

Great job! I dig your composition style. You've strung together some intriguing sounds.
This was a fun listen -- Rock on!
Now DIS is da Blues!
Intriguing lyrics. Dig the rift.
Good job, and a good choice to cover.
I dig what you strung together here -- great job!
This one does it for me.
Beach music with a mod twist -- love it. Surf on!
Now that's the way to cook up some Rock!
I dig it!
Far out -- literally!
Sweet! That's some mighty purty picking! An interesting strum/rhythm. Groovy -- Rock on!
I'm with the previous commenter -- definitely a Floyd flavor in this one, which means I love it!
Sultry, smooth, professional, delightful.
Brilliant, colorful, textured, and tasty.
Your punches aren't obvious to me. What you're doing works for my layman's ears. Great topic, expertly delivered.
You've got all the tracks working quite well with each other. Your mix down is gorgeous. Nice work!
I have a manual called "The everything home digital recording book" and it suggest you should never use headphones to judge your mix down and mastering work, but whatever, I think you've done a wonderful, professional, masterful job with this number. It ROCKS! Rock on!
You are a master picker! Very impressive.
I dig the bass -- a lot -- but the lead, not so much.
