It all (possibly) begins…

Recorded a few songs today with a borrowed mic cable (thanks John) and a few hours of quiet in the house. Put 5 piano/vocal and 4 guitar/vocal songs on a CD to give to a few people as a sort of “demo” slash “practice” disc to see if I can find a few people to [...]

Little Flashes

A week or so ago I started seeing a flash of light in the lower left corner of my left eye. At first I thought it was a reflection, until I noticed it was happening no matter where I looked, and even at night with my eyes closed (though then it was at least slightly [...]

Tonight, for example, there’s supposed to have been an open mic at Vangos, but management [...]

A start on "Free Wood"

Well, I finally got a start on one of my many “issues” – translation: projects. I’ve been wanting to get my acoustic comedy thingies recorded and put them all on a disc and see if I can talk some folks out of some money for it. I’ve got the cd jacket all set already – [...]
