Major Play Major Play
I wanted to write/record a song in a Major key... here it is.

Rip-Off Rip-Off
It started by being influenced by my current favorite song. After recording all of the parts and mixing it down I discovered two unintentional heavy influences, thus the title.

Strongbad's Recipe Strongbad's Recipe
What I did on my Father's Day. A Rave with me and my kids adding our vocal flavorings to it...

Lost It Somewhere Lost It Somewhere
A Rock tune. Another attempt to keep my song shorter - I succeeded, but I think it needs to be about 4 minutes longer of just me soloing. I thought the accompaniment rocked and would have liked to have kept playing.

Basic Basic
This is one of the less ambitious songs. Nothing earth-shattering, just me playing a basic rock song.

Kindog-Nob's Wad Kindog-Nob's Wad
I was playing some "expensive" chords and wanted to record it. I discovered that I do not have any Jazz improvisational skills, but I'm okay with this.

Ball of Bands Ball of Bands
Another rocker - 3 part song using a fuzzed tone for the melody/solo.



Whispers (Overdriven) Whispers (Overdriven)
The 2nd of 2 recordings of the same song. This one is played overdriven. A little less room to breathe, but still has an Airy Sound.

Whispers (Clean) Whispers (Clean)
The 1st of 2 recordings of the same song. This one is played clean. Lots of room to breathe - Airy Sounding.

Trills Trills
This song is now available on The Collective CD. Go to http://www.cafepress.com/TheCollective to get details.

Reality Crashes In (The Bug) Reality Crashes In (The Bug)
A pretty chunky and harsh tone.

SIVOAR SIVOAR
This is an idea gone awry, but I like the way it turned out. More with back-tracking and effects.
