New Song: To Run Away & Why am I thinking so much about music?
Inside: It’s been a long time since I posted a new song on the blog; Apparently I feel like writing; The class musician; Why am I writing a pretentious autobiographical music bio in this entry??? It’s been a long time since I’ve posted any of my music on this blog. Not sure why that is.…
My Ultimate 80’s Playlist
I done did this on Napster. It is so. Dang. Good. I’m a one man party with these jams. It’s not complete, of course, and there are some 80’s songs that should be on any 80’s playlist but … meh. Okay. 183 and climbing now. That averages out to about 9 solid hours of the…
New (Old) Song: “Howl”
First, let me say something. I wrote this back in 2004. It’s one of the first songs I ever recorded. The saddest song ever written. This is a remake because the hard drive that the recording project is on died (ironically, while I was trying to back it up). I’ve been revisiting old tunes…
New Song: “It’s Cold Outside”
I don’t know where this came from. I was humming randomly in the car on the way to work this morning. I was like, “That would be a good melody.” So I recorded it as I was trying to flesh out the idea. Of course, I forgot the lyrics I was coming up with at…
Cello 2: “Seeds”
So I broke a string on the cello a few weeks ago. Trying to tune that low C up to a D. Oops. The peg kept slipping and I couldn’t get it to stay put for the life of me. I twisted too hard out of frustration and there it went. Did the same thing…
Cello
I bought a cello a few weeks ago. It was kind of a whim. More like sudden inspiration than a whim, actually. The timbre of the instrument is beautiful and I figured why not get a real one so I can add texture and gravitas to some of my tracks. I play stringed instruments already…
New song: “Insinuendo”
Okay, it’s not really a new song. It’s about 5 or 6 years old and I think I posted it somewhere before. This is tighter and hopefully better. I’m trying to think of a performer to sell it to. That’s a joke, kind of. Whenever I write something I try to figure out what artist…
New Song: Black River
Can you guess what band’s sound influenced this one? Showing a friend the lay of the land on the guitar and he kept playing these little phrases and going back to them. I said, hey. That could be a song. That chord’s an E and that chord is an A. Lots of songs use that…
Music in the Digital Age
The Jurassic 5 channel on Pandora is groovin’. Do you know about this? iRealBook is an iPhone app that has the chords (only the chords) for all the tunes in the Real Book. appiphonemusic
