a little catching up to do

October 7, 2015

I wanted to drop everybody a note to explain where I have been and what has been going on.. I have been very busy with music, a lot of it practice. Drilling major keys in the circle of fifths for the fluent in music of you out there. Been practicing hours and hours a day, doing this on Bass, which is a relatively new instrument of mine. I am trying to get a good idea where the notes are, being that it […]

I’ll Shine Your Light, original tune

Who is playin’ the streets tonight? Oh he wants her oh he feels her from far away. Girl comes down, girl comes down and asks God why she sees suffering in everyone’s eyes.

Then he played all the other instruments, as I acted as his sound engineer. Amazing to watch this man work. Find tons […]

Burn, (original music) audio

September 29, 2015

Burn. (this is terribly improvised) I don’t have money to burn but I’m not too concerned. I have memories in my head, but I sleep easy in my bed. And will you find? Would you mind spending the time? To go my road. I have memories to burn. Have you got the time to learn? Got memories to burn. Got family And the memories to burn.
