I set up a recording interface for my best friend. I needed to test everything, so I recorded one of my favorite songs, which is Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues". All three tracks are first takes, with a little delay on the right channel.

I'm a one man band, for now.
Music has been a major part of my life since I was two years old, and my father bought me a Harmony electric guitar, which I still have. I started taking music seriously when I was fourteen, and have been in some kind of band / group ever since. Now I record everything alone, or record duets with my beautiful fiance Birgitta. I'm not the stereotypical, "I'm gonna be famous some day" type of musician. I record my stuff because I figure, "Hey, God gave me this talent and I should use it." I believe that without God, there would be no music. God is the reason for music, so all music should be performed for His Glory. I'm human, which means that I am not perfect. Keep this in mind when you hear this music. I hope you enjoy it, and it's a pleasure to be a part of this site.

Lyrics
I hear the train a comin' It's rolling round the bend And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when, I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on But that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone.. When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son, Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns. But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry.. I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars. Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free But those people keep a movin' And that's what tortures me... Well if they freed me from this prison, If that railroad train was mine I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.....
