Primarily a rhythm guitar player. Been home recording since 1983. Never persued joining a band, but was fortunate to join one in '08. We've since gone our separ
Raw material is more of a project than it is a band. It consists of friends who show up to the Wretch Recording Laboratory and jam. We lay down some tracks and if we like the results we lay down more tracks until it sounds halfway decent. Lots of times, Raw Material is just myself recording one track at a time. My major interest would be to get a project together to play the "backyard barbecue" circuit. Classic rock, blues, maybe some original songs. Show up at 11:00 A.M. to set up, play from 1:00-4 or 5:00 P.M., have a beer and a burger, pack up and be home by 7:00. Interested? Let me know!

Story behind the song
CBC challenge - May 2013 - Secret Agent TV show theme song.
Lyrics
If you make your livin’ Stealin’ other peoples’ things Cars and jewels and money, honey, Wallets, cash, and rings Better pay close attention to the details Your after shave, the clothes you wear, Your shoes, the way you lean Whatever makes you who you are Might put you on the scene Of the crime And he’ll remember ‘cause he’s J.T. Oliphant And Oliphant never forgets. He’s old, he’s gray, his feet are flat Could lose a pound or two Guarantee it’s somethin’ little But he’s starin’ right at you But don’t ask why, ‘cause he remembers. His name is J.T. Oliphant And Oliphant never forgets. Yes, he’s J.T. Oliphant And Oliphant never forgets.

Great Guitars, vocal, lyrics, and overall production. This was a very clever tune addition for the May 2013 CBC Detective Theme Challenge.

Great production, cool vocals, and a good "storyboard" for the theme. Creative twist on oliphant/elephant!
