I'm just starting to get into recording myself, as it stands, my setup is extremely elementary, but I'm exploring some of the possibilities of musicianship. This is more intended for friends and family, but if you like anything you hear or have any criticism (please not too harsh..) don't be afraid to shoot me an e-mail.Band/artist history

Scratch version of Songwriter Blues posted on my page. Going to clean this up and polish it over the next week or two. Comments appreciated.
I'm always glad to be supportive. I'm a preschool teacher right now -- i'm all about fostering creativity. You *do* play well; I wasn't just being nice. Just to let you know. It's rare when music moves me beyond just feeling and into the realm of seeing and touching, but when I listened to your Lenny/man on the side cover I could honestly see mayer doing his hee-haw thing with the guitar and your cover made it feel... real. Like i wasn't watching a dvd, like I was actually *at* the concert. Thought you might like to know.
Thank you for your comments on "bite my tongue". I'm so proud of it, I can hardly contain myself. :) See you on the msm boards-- (Who was the friend that got you into it?)

Jim! Just listening to Lenny/Man On the Side. One: Wow. I wish I could play that well! I think you pulled SRV off without a hitch. He'd be proud man! I esp liked the transition into MOTS. It happens to be my favourite JM song. I was disappointed there was no vocals, but I still think you did a bang up job. Excellent. Oh and don't be scared of MSM either, they all talk sh*** except for RY.
If you feel the need, check out my stuff. Its nowhere near as excellent but I am proud to call it mine :)
Hey Jim! Loving Lenny -- man on the side. You play it with a vibe that makes time feel like its slowing down and the world is smooth. And Man on the Side -- i love the slaps. I can't do slaps on a keyboard, and this is why I'm jealous of all guitar players. Slaps and slides. That's just an awesome feature of guitar.
Good start with the recording equipment -- remember, to futz is to learn. Keep making music and tweaking settings as you go along. Looking forward to more music and posts on MSM :)
If you get a chance, I'd love some feedback on my new single "Bite My Tongue". :)
Take care,
