Seventh Street - Tim Baldwin

Written in late November of 2001.  There is a phenomenon common to creative songwriters where songs seem to come as gifts from a higher consciousness.  This is one such song.  recorded by Kenny Maggs at Nietzsche's on Dec 26 2001.  Post production by Timmy B.

The Sins Of The Fathers - Tim Baldwin

While watching Donald Rumsfeld's "shock and awe" display over Baghdad, I wrote three updated verses to the Dylan anti-war anthem, and also modified the guitar backing to fit my own style.  Recorded live at Nietzsche's in April of 2003 by sound man Kenny Maggs.  Post production by Timmy B.

Radical - Kim Kerns and Mike Maffei

I had written this song in the summer of 2001.  I later added an additional verse in response to Jerry Falwell, who predictably had sought to blame elements in society with which he disagreed for the tragedy of September 11.  Shan Harmon accompanies me on djembe.  Recorded by Kenny Maggs at Nietzsche's during the 2005 Allentown Art Fest.  Post production by Timmy B.

Two Wrongs - Tim Baldwin & Shan Harmon

Recorded live at Nietzsche's during the Source of the Stone show in 2002.  It's always an honor to have a friend interpret one of your songs.  Despite a jarring discordance at the onset of the second guitar break, I am so glad to have this memory of a dear departed friend.  Thanks to Kenny Maggs for recording so many of these moments.  Post production by Timmy B.

Mike Maffei & Tim Baldwin - Wyoming Skies

a beautiful ballad performed by a beautiful duo...

Cowboy From Couer d'Alene - Mike Maffei and Kim Kerns

Another of Mike's beautiful ballads.  It wasn't an easy song to play on, and this isn't my best performance, but the memory is timeless....

This Time - Mike Maffei and Kim Kerns with Tim Baldwin

A standout performance from a snowbound December 26, 2001 show at Nietzsche's, featuring Nick Corallo on drums and Tim Baldwin on telecaster.  Though Katie and I had played this song many times, this was a unique and spontaneous rendition, captured by soundman Kenny Maggs.  Post production by Timmy B.

Soothe Me - Katie Miller

Consider this an audio scrapbook of memorable moments from a series of loosely organized musical gatherings at Nietzsche's in Buffalo NY between the years of 1996 and 2006.  The series started with Sunday nights featuring singer/songwriters Pamela Ryder, Katie Miller and myself, later expanding to include a wide variety of friends and musical styles.  Impromptu jams were a hallmark of the series.  Every show was a unique musical event.  My personal thanks and love to everyone who has been a part of this musical journey.
