Mad Man Blues (cover)
Mad Man Blues. I have felt that some blues songs were off limits for me to play. This cover of a John Lee Hooker classic is one for which I qualify: even friends tell me that I am crazy as hell, but in general, kinda cool.
Here It is Tomorrow (cover)
Here It is Tomorrow. Here is an under two minute quickie cover of another band that was produced by Mitch Easter.
Have Fun!! (original tune)
Have Fun!! Just a reminder for me and everyone else. Play and have Fun!! It is supposed to be fun!! I goofed around for five hours today on the drum-set. 🙂
PleaseWakeUp (original instrumental)
PleaseWakeUp. Here is a melancholic little piece. Sometimes I wish that I had a lyricist/singer upon which to collaborate. Any takers? I really should be careful of what I wish for, because I just may get it.
Happy Hour (cover)
Happy Hour! In 1985 I was 15 years old, and dependent on college radio and underground record stores, yes vinyl, for new music. So on my birthday that year, I grabbed my sister’s Schwinn 10 speed bicycle and rode several miles to get to the music store, unbeknownst to my father. Arrived to find the host of my favorite radio program selling lp’s. This song, by a group named the HouseMartins, was available as an import. I am not certain if I […]
Next Hittites (original)
Next Hittites. this was today’s afterthought….
a Little More You, (take 2)
a Little More You (take 2). “A Little More You” written by LittleBigTown Don’t you wanna dive on in, yeah the water feels right Dancin’ on the edge of the love you’re a beautiful sight So why’re you still standin’ there in the half moonlight Come on, baby, give me a little more you Your battin’ those baby blue eyes and, honey i swear The way you got me needing you girl, it just ain’t fair You’ve given me a little bit […]
a Lil’ More You ( country ballad cover)
a Lil’ More You. I would play a round of name that artist, but I am short on skittles to give to the Victor. 🙂
Advice to Alice While in Wonderland (original tune)
Advice to Alice While in Wonderland. (lyrics) Don’t Eat the Cupcake. Just Drink the Tea.
ROCK THIS TOWN!! (rocka-billie cover)
ROCK THIS TOWN!! I invested in some panels that improve sound quality, absorbs the sound without making the room sound dead. It made the whole recording process better. I can hear the difference, can you?
Song Request from Equinoxio
Johnny B. Goode (chuck berry cover). Equinoxio asked me to try my hand at Chuck Berry. I was hesitant because I am more of rhythm guitar player. I am not good at leads. Plus Chuck Berry is some sort of rock’n’roll holy grail. Sacred ground upon which not to screw up. So the strange thing with this is that it is 12-bar blues in the key of B flat. I would rather do it in A major because it is easier on […]
