Noodling: Funky

Trying to get myself back in the frame of mind for songwriting after being away from my setup for a few weeks, so I cranked out this little funky instrumental. Just a jam.
For this track I used my 2002 PRS McCarty through a Line6 PodXT set up to emulate a Budda Superdrive with a [...]

Kryoburn

A couple of years ago I got an Email from a guy named Todd Brashear about putting together an album cover for his group. I used to get approached like this regularly and rarely saw anything come out of it, so I didn’t get my hopes up. But, I hadn’t done CD covers [...]

Noodling: Bluesey

Just a bit bored tonight and cranked out a little blues track. Doesn’t really go anywhere, just for fun. You can listen to it here.

Track: Leave Without A Trace

 
This is a very old tune I’ve had kicking around since college days. It’s basically in the same form with just a couple of chord changes here and there. I wrote it about breaking up with a girl, I believe. I’m actually fairly happy with it – the music, vocal and instruments [...]

Kind of a melancholy little ditty about… well, basically about faith. It’s a personal statement, but I think it lends itself to most any particular religion or philosophy that you happen to embrace – because we all believe in something. You can listen to it here.
What you’ve been left here with
Was never something you [...]

This tune went through a lot of transformations and several re-records. I’m still not 100% happy about the way it turned out, but I had invested way too much time in it and needed to move on. It’s sort of a persona statement, just expressing a thought rattling around my head. It’s [...]

Track: Time With You

This is a silly little tune I did a couple of years ago. Sort of a country-pop kind of thing. I was trying to convince my wife to skip work with me and scribbled down some lyrics around the them. Not my best vocal representation to posterity. You can listen [...]

Track: America

A year or so ago I was asked to accompany a singer (Zina Duncan) to perform a patriotic song to open the North MS Teachers Association meeting. It was a fairly nice setup with around 600 in attendance and a decent stage, but not the greatest sound system. We didn’t want to go with [...]
