It has been a rough summer on a personal level, breakup, move out, son gone for 45 days. As always song ideas flow from the places I’ve been.
You’ve been a bitch to me all night long
Can’t wait to see you
I’ll let you know where it goes, hope to have some rejoicing and party songs coming!
We did basic tracks for three songs this morning. Sweet.

What If I Had
Can’t wait to hear how they are sounding.
We have been recording for a couple of weeks. And you can hear some of our first results here. Using my Mesa Boogie 1 x 12 amp for this project. It is sounding pretty large. Set up in a closet two rooms over to get some separation and keep out the bleed through.
In addition, we [...]
Black Daddy played their first show at Vibe in Highland Park on the 26th of February. Did a set of originals. Great crowd. Driving the Daisies had a CD release that night and Just Groove played a set of super funk.

Finally got to jam a little on some new music. Felt great, the music was sexy. Telecaster was in fine form. More music soon please.
Yes, I’m working with my tele today. First idea uses the bridge pickup, a Dimarzio. The second part starts with a riff using the neck pickup a Bill Lawrence single coil. Bouncy. Singing mostly for the rhythm of it. Bzzz is using some electronic pads just for the ease of it. Not to mention the [...]
Hey how’s everyone today?
So this girl broke up with me, probably deserved it. But I get to write about it in a song.
This is the result. And it made me want to get out of Dodge so much that I moved to New York for a couple of years.
Until another girl broke up with me. [...]
John Grey explorer is the guitar. Love this guitar, love the feel of the neck. It has a Gibson Les Paul thickness with an ebony fretboard. Just feels great. Big piece of mahogany with lots of sustain.
