Seven Minute Jam Seven Minute Jam
Me on a couple guitars and bass. Keith Windham on drums.
These are some things I recorded with my drummer friend Keith a couple years ago. We recorded in Keith's apartment. I played a Dean Stylist Standard archtop straight into the board on all of them but "The Mummy". On "The Mummy" I am pretty sure I played a Gibson Flying V that I sold a little while back. It was also into the board with some kind of electronic gadgetry between.Band/artist history
