I just finished an album in a day project, based on this: http://crapart.spacebar.org/aad/
This was the first song I worked on. I was kinda thinking of it as two songs smushed together. It’s not terrible. Maybe if I come back to it with ears…read more

My first impression was this one wasn’t very good. As the day wore on though it kinda grew on me. Now that I’ve made it track two I think I’m starting to not like it again.

This one is okay. Nothing too special, but it is in 7/8 (assuming I’m writing about the track I think I’m writing about. Who knows).

I remastered this one that got deleted a while ago, still too much stuff in it but keeps rabbits outta the garden when i crank it on exterior speakers outside.

Written during Spring Break 2001. Can you guess which day it comes from? The lyric is about how I was on day 4 and had already run out of ideas. Kinda typical.

"Vanishing Point" was an attempt to force myself to write a full song. I had been playing in Break Even for about a year and found myself completely unable to write music. I had just set up a nice little 8-track studio (sort of) at home and I…read more

Third of seven left overs from April 2007. This one was sort of a throw away from the beginning. It resulted in me not being able to come up with anything clever, so I just threw something easy and hyperactive and short together.
As far as…read more

Usually I like songs less when they are finished. This one I think I like more. I had planned on dropping this one but now I'm not sure.

I waited until RPM Challenge song #20 before I used a 12-bar blues. This was a guitar noodle that happened when I finished everything I had planned to work on that day but wasn’t quite ready to stop playing. I like that feeling. The lyrics are…read more

My ears are turning to mush tonight. I’m not sure if this sounds okay or not. It’s another ghost story song. This time about a house where the ghost of a previous resident made friends with the new kid in the house. I struggled with a lot of this…read more

The second of three (so far) songs for the 2019 RPM Challenge with lyrics inspired by a ghost story. This time a woman who was executed for witchcraft (yup, I live in New England) who cursed her accuser. Years later his family built a memorial…read more

You’ve got quite a Santanaesque sound to your guitar. Very cool! Nice slinky track.
A few years ago I was working on a 50/90 and I was stuck for lyrics. While hunting for ideas I Googled “New England folk tales” and found a few stories that I was able to use as a loose idea for a song lyric. I was trying to write lyrics for this…read more

A simple 12-bar in 6/8 time. I almost like it.
The guitars are all Les Paul.

Prior to the switch to the white UI I was having an issue where all of my uploads were marked as private and I couldn’t change them. I created a second account and moved on. Then after the white UI switch I found a couple of tracks had vanished so I moved everything back to this account and deleted v2.
