What is this all about?

As home recording hobbyists this is all about having fun while learning musicianship and recording skills, not necessarily about the music we currently have posted. We just so happened to find a community of kind and talented friends here on SoundClick and are grateful for all their help, support, and inspiration. Although I frequently record on my own, this was originally intended as a "rock school" of sorts. My daughters and I have been recording together periodically since 2007, so they've pretty much grown up with it. As of late the girls are into doing their own thing (it's tough having a "so embarrassing" Dad, remember? LOL!), but we'll still try to record together from time to time, I'm very proud of them no matter what.



Are there other projects?

Yes, "The Tools" are Ken Sacco, Mike Bennett, and myself.
