    Ok – definitely got sidetracked there but I’m back. Only 3 more songs to complete this project.  For Be in the Now I tried some new mic’ing techniques on this one and really like how the lead vox turned out. Also made a slight change to the chorus melody with a happy accident that turned out to be a keeper.

    This weeks song is a redux of Soul Song – which originally appeared on my debut recording. This time its a little more up tempo with some instrumentation and I’m joined once again by the amazing vocalist Jen Crowe. The art work is by: Nevit Dilmen

    This weeks song Reach. Back from a brief break. The artwork is an original photograph of my twelve-string guitar that I used to record this song. It has a drawing of “The Man in the Maze” from the  Tohono O’odom tribe in Arizona on it. To me represents life’s journey and a lot of what I write about.

  • To Not From – this weeks download

    To Not From


  • House cleaning

    A bit late getting out this weeks tune. The blog is starting to take shape so I was doing a little re-organization on the back end.

    Going to introduce each song on their own page with lyrics, additional posts and hopefully your comments!

    Look for the next song a little later today!


  • Inside – this weeks free dowload

    Inside - Song Art

    Inside features the incredibly talented Jen Crowe. Some of you may have caught us when we were doing a weekly show at Genghis Cohen. We recorded this song as well as a updated version of Soul Song (will be released too). Jen and I plan to record the acoustic versions from the set we did.

    The Song Art this week comes from U.K artist: Joe Sutherland. I chose it because fractals are inward and infinite. Like the complexity of relationships which this song is about.


  • Lyrics now being added

    Per request I will start posting the lyrics. Starting today with Amen form my debut recording.


  • Amen

    Amen

    I often feel a breeze
    It sends me back to when
    My lover’s sent I breath
    Saying Amen
    Say Amen

    Let your worries fly away
    She says they don’t have wings
    Well don’t you hurry
    Love will bring you home to me
    Amen

    I often feel a breeze
    It sends me back to when
    My lover’s lips I feel
    Pressed against my skin
    Say Amen.
