Picture for song 'Donna Jean' by artist 'Tempus Fugitives'

Donna Jean Donna Jean

For a friend and former co-worker. She has no hobbies. And yes, I am about 35 years too old to be singing about taking someone to the prom. My first song recorded using the Eleven Rack, fwiw.

Picture for song 'I Believed' by artist 'Tempus Fugitives'

I Believed I Believed

Lyrics: late 90s, music: late 00s, all coming together at Terry Carleton's Bones and Knives Studio. The drums and percussion are Terry's too. So listen - the lyrics are a bit offensive... Make good decisions about whether to listen. Just sayin'.

Hard Rock

Three Sides To Every Story Three Sides To Every Story

The most ambitious arrangement I've done. The song is pretty much a statement about my personal philosophy. Thanks to Dale Hymes for the percolatin' bass part.

Looking for love in the absolute wrong place...

Gonna Leave a Mark Gonna Leave a Mark

My first foray into reggae-ish rock. Hope you have as much fun with it as I had recording it. Thanks again and as always to Dale Hymes for the bass riddims.

This is a place to put some original music I've been working on. I'm working on arrangements, recording techniques, demos, and that's what you're hearing here. The tunes need work, and as I revise parts (like, hit pitch with the vocals), I'll repost the songs.
Band/artist history
Things were looking up for the Fugitives after the shows at the Cavern Club. A very talented little pop combo called The Beatles were the opening act - I remember thinking at the time that those boys were going to be big - really big...
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Putting together a band to play out in the Greater San Jose Metroplex and environs. I enjoy it when it happens.
Your musical influences
I try to play like Keef and write like Tom Waits or Lowell George.
What equipment do you use?
Guitars by Chapin, Koll, or Shelley Park, amps by Krinard or Swart or Fargen.
