There's Nothing New Under The Sun There's Nothing New Under The Sun
Heavily influenced by the style of The Doors.
Sleep Depravation Sleep Depravation
Odd harmony, unsettling lyrics, straightforward melody, and the best I could do on the guitar.

I specialize in genre blending, and retro rock.
I workedwith my son Timothy to develop some new and exciting mixes.
Tim accompanied me in :There's Nothing New Under the Sun", Instruments in "Corporate World, and the arrangement and instruments in "The Evil Eye". Timothy is a unique guitarist and pianist. I have been stuck in a work cycle for a couple of years that have not been conducive to developing more material. I have some time off coming up so maybe I will take the opportunity to do so.
A sampling of my most recent works of Instrumentals, Vocalizations, and Synthesis is available on my music page.
Whatever the heck it is I'm doing right (or wrong) let me know... Life is lonely at the bottom.
I am a porch musician. I have never played for income although it would be nice. I play a wide variety of mixtures of folk, rock, blues, and ethnic music. I am not a guitarist who sings, I am a vocalist and songwriter who plays guitar.
I've been a singer all my life, for a half century, and played various instruments almost as long.
I don't pay much attention to popular music trends, I'm kind of on my own path. Some people like most of it, most people like some of it. It's worth going through my tunes to see what I've got because of the wide variety.
Drop me a comment. I use suggestions in new works and sometimes rework my old stuff if I get reasonable feedback.
Thanks for stopping by.
If no one shows interest there isn't much incentive to keep on posting the new works.
FredBand/artist history
Just me, with accompaniment by one of my sons, or a friend. I recorded most of my stuff on my computer by myself. I'm a sound geek so it comes out pretty good.
Like I said, I'm a vocalist. I put a lot into harmonies and layering.Have you performed in front of an audience?Not as much any more.
Your musical influences
Guthrie, Guthrie, Dylan, Paul Simon, Tom Rush, Gordon Lightfoot, Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, Jim Morrison, King Crimson, Elton John, Beatles and Stones (of course) Mike Bloomfield, James Cotton, The B G's, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Uriah Heep, The oakridge Boys and and many more.What equipment do you use?
A 1970 Framus Model 21 Concert Western guitar with a Fishman dual pickup directly into a Turtle Beach sound card, and two Shure Unidyne model 55S (studio)mic's, also directly into the Turtle Beach, using Cool Edit Pro to track, mix, and master. I use a RS Concertmate keyboard for keys and preset drums. I used to wish I had a drummer. I had to take matters into my own handsAnything else?
"You can't be better without being different. Change is necessary for improvement". You can quote me on that.

You Never Know is wonderful! I'm so jazzed I checked out this tune. going to poke around some more. please, keep at it and very best wishes eternal!
Liked it a lot! you make mention of Door's, a basic organ blending is what came to mind, but heard none, which left room to jam man. Cool Baby
What we hear see and touch can affect us. This is a great song. Tribal stuff that is mysterious and mystical.
A very haunting tune - the moans and whistling are classic. The title is perfect. Great song
Hey Fred!
I'm loving 'The Evil Eye'.
Great production and arrangement... but the thing that grabs me is how low your voice can go!!!
The piano sounds lovely in this, and is the backing vox your son? It really works very well.
Cool song.
