The Ballad of AvE The Ballad of AvE
Every folk hero needs a song about them. This is about AvE, a Youtube personality that has a very interesting channel. There is some adultish language in this recording. Celebrity Voice NOT Impersonated!

Lounge LiZZard Lounge LiZZard
Loungey-sounding groove with a Dano baritone and A PRS Custom 22. Since this sounds like a sleazy band from a film noir bar scene or a David Lynch flick, it needed an appropriate ending.

Tiptoe Though the Eye V Tiptoe Though the Eye V
What sort of crazy person plays a pointy Gibson Flying V on a super chilly tune like this? Me!

The Planets and the Stars The Planets and the Stars
Re-work of the previous tune that has the heavy distorto guitar section in the middle. I mellowed out the middle section here with some harmony guitar lines to create more of a 'floaty' feeling than the harder-edged sound in the previous version.

Sick Spack (six different vignettes in one track) Sick Spack (six different vignettes in one track)
This track contains six sections--forcing me to change horses in mid-stream and come up with something that fits each musical context. More of an experiment with six separate little songs rather than a single composition. PRS C22 on this track.
