Oddinarily / Anola Parkview (two on one)Band/artist history
I started The Inside in 1991 with a good friend of mine, Mark Collier. We recorded on a four track and layed down an albums worth of music which we titled "Oddinarily". This was before I had a computer, so I just passed out tapes to whoever would listen. The sound was very "They Might Be Giants" at that time.
Mark then went into the Army, so I was on my own until I met another friend named Matt Leiker. We began recording also on a four track, but changed our name to "The Cat's Meow". We actually recorded about seven songs completely and layed down a ton of demos.
That lasted for maybe a year until we parted ways, and I began thinking about another The Inside album. I recorded this on a four track and called it "Anola Parkview". I gave this out to some friends, but I don't feel it is my best work.
About six months later I began recording a CD called "Growing Up!". This time on my new 8-track. I believe that this was some of my best writing to date and got good reviews from those that heard it. This was completed in 1995 --- Then came the bombshell ...
I got married to a wonderful person named Nancy, and my music took a bit of a backseat (you know how it goes). Almost seven years later, I am finally back to recording and making a CD which is tentatively titled "Sentimental Musings". Stay tuned ...Have you performed in front of an audience?In my living room mostly for family and friends. I consider myself a recording artist more so than a live artist. Someday, maybe.
