Artist picture
Experimental recordings from over the years featuring various song-writing/music collaborations.
I have been writing and attempting to create original music since I was 17 years old. Since that time, I have collaborated with many different artists on various projects. Thankfully, my friends are just as crazy as I and share a similar penchant for writing and recording homemade music. Most of the jams from back in the day were recorded on cassette tape. Some were done using computers or digitized previously, so they are of higher fidelity. On this page, I have chosen to publish and preserve for posteriority some of the choicer selections from our scatalogue. Many of these recordings were made before the computer age was full blown. Much of the overdubbing on the early recordings was done by tape-to-tape transfer which (if you have ever done it) you know causes an extreme loss of fidelity. Also, the fidelity of the tapes has degraded severely over the years. I did not get around to begin transferring until March 2009. Some of the recordings date as far back as 1991, so as you'll hear, some of the tapes were on the verge of demagnetizing. The recordings vary in quality, and you should be careful to adjust volume as necessary. I tried to give warning of the tracks with hot levels. Take these recordings with a grain of salt. Some were done on very low quality hand-held recorders, others on cassette 4-track, and some were fiddled with using Acid software during periods where computer editing was available. These recordings are being posted mainly for the artists involved. With all those disclaimers in mind, wecolme to The Vault and please indulge yourself in Selections from Our Scatalogue.

Lyrics
One early morning As I was walking I met a woman We started talking I took her home to get a few nips But all I had was a mint julep One mint julep was the cause of it all I don't remember just how it started But all I know is we just started I stole a kiss and then another I didn't mean to take it further One mint julep was the cause of it all The lights were burning low There in the parlor Went through the kicthen door Out popped her father He said I saw you with You kissed by daughter Got to wed her right now Or face a slaughter I didn't know just what I was doing I had to marry or face ruin A mint julep A mint julep A mint julep A mint julep One mint julep was the cause of it all I don't want to bore you with my troubles But from now on I'll be thinking double I'm through with flirting And a drinking whiskey I got six extra children from getting friskey A mint julep A mint julep A mint julep A mint julep One mint julep was the cause of it all!
