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
In memory of Shelby, our Golden Retriever.
Lyrics
He rode the fields on wings of gold While the sun shone high, so the story’s told. Run, boy run, while the day is young ‘Til the sun go down, down on the ground. I’d see the fire burnin’ in his eyes As his feet would pound toward the hills and skies. When the sun sank low, I’d still see the glow Of the trail he blazed through the moonlit haze. Run, boy run Run, boy run Run, boy run to the settin’ sun. Don’t feel no pain pullin’ on that chain. Dig his heels in deep, deep in the ground. With treasures borne from journeys far He’d wander on to the hills and stars Guided onward by a lonesome sound. Heading homeward now to familiar ground. The castle walls, the stoney gate, His king and queen beyond them wait. Run, boy run Run, boy run Run, boy run to the settin’ sun. Movin’ on again, one last journey wrote In the Book of God’s immortal plan. Pressin’ onward through the stormy gale, Kneelin’ by his side, my face grew pale. He’s runnin’ now through the streets of gold At my Savior’s side while I’m growin’ old. Run, boy run Run, boy run Run, boy run to the settin’ sun. Can you hear me call… from my heart and soul? I’m on my knees… and I’m down on the ground. Can you hear me call?

So well played and though almost blues, it stil has a very distinct tone of folklore. Well backed by a strong vocal with lots of character and presence. This sounds like some of the best progrock/folkrock bands of the 1970's, Jethro Tull mixed with Fairport Convention :0) Great stuff!
