A remix of the Oh Maria song. Took a night to add keyboard tracks (rhythm & synth). Remixed on another night after a long weekend.

Another Lover
Be my pistol
Wrote this little ditty while fiddling with the banjer. Lyrics about Love and wanting somebody to be your end-all. But in a good way.

Face
All organic. With an animal welfare rating of 15. It’s called Face. It’s a guitar jam.
Bonus: These kinds of pictures freak me out. My mind just can’t adjust.

Sofia
I got Ken Nottingham to help massage the lyrics on a previously written song ‘Celia’ – not previously posted. Try not to mind the differences in styles. If this ever gets recorded with a band it will be even different.
Here’s the new version.
Here’s the original.

Sideshow Man
A simple demo of a nice little tune. Inspired by the song All Night Long and completed via muses.
I love songs that just keep going and going lyrically: Bob Dylan’s early stuff, story tunes, lots of rap/hip-hop, etc. This is an attempt to keep the verses rolling.

BLVD Park, Fruition, Dead Winter Carpenters
Played a great show last night, sitting in with BLVD Park at Nectar Lounge. Also performing were Portland’s Fruition and Tahoe’s Dead Winter Carpenters. The music was top-notch and the back-stage shenanigans were great. The night ended with a green-room run through of most of Abbey Road medley.
I often get moved heavily by a positive musical experience (inspirational performance, new music, good people) and the following song came out of it. I’ve been having trouble writing decent lyrics lately, so I just put in some placeholders. One of the goals was to make sure there was an extendable-jammable section.

Get Loose
This one started out as a preacher blows through town-gets-killed ballad.
I took a break and rewrote the lyrics.

Problems
We’ve all got problems. 1st world, 2nd world, 3rd world problems. Maybe we can solve them.

Something’s coming, I can feel it.
An old quote. And now a song. Freestyling the lyrics.
I’ve been thinking about things a little differently lately and this song is hopefully a reflection of that.
