raw recording on garage band without a net...I had lost the original recording and had to dump it onto a CD and record it back onto Garage band so the quality isn't so hot but whatever it's fun. ALso the last part i had to cut out. Brian McFarland on drums and Brett Warren on Bass. Me: guitar and piano

Schmedley revisted

This is different than the one most people have heard (if you've heard the original) This one is a little more zany and up -tempo.

Fast and frenetic.TWO MINUTES TO LIVE...Thats it. Now there's zero time to live

2 Minutes to Live 2-1

A song Jimi Finley wrote when he was around 23 years old. Sad little song. He was never happy with his bandmates execution..oh well. This was a band he had called Bash. Early 80's 82--83 I believe.I found some more of these songs . All recorded live onto cassette 4 track. 

Separation 1

Jimi playing a few solo's in his band from 1982 0r 83.....
Very good playing. He was about 23 -24. Pretty exciting sruff particularly for it's day.

Inviting trouble  solo (BASH)

Written by James Finley (deceased 2012) He later came to not like it. Thought it too like the genre of metal....still great guitar playing,
