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.

The second part is more of my signature sound with a double coil pickup. Audio sketch #2 means unrehearsed, [...]
Just a snippit from a first jam. Ethon has a great drum setup with double bass, hi hats on either side so he can play with either hand. Good times. I brought the telecaster to the party.
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 [...]
