One of my favorite Van Morrison tunes.  I did the vocals, guitars, drums, vibraphone, and engineering.  The rest of Celestial Navigation helped me out with Didem Somel on violin and mandolin and Glen Anderson on upright bass.  I was never happy with the original mix.

Sweet Thing - REMIX (Van Morrison cover)

A song about my big sister Cindy. She passed away 12 years ago, at the same age I am now. She was the one I'd always call when I was freaking out. She would talk me down. That's the chorus. The verses represent different seasons at "The Cottage," a family getaway in Northern Wisconsin where we spent precious time together.
The is a "One-Man Band" production. All instruments, vocals, engineering, etc. done by moi.

Sister Cindy

Dacota

A little song I wrote, sang, played all the instruments on, and engineered/produced; except Violin, played by Didem Somel.  

Lyrics:

I didn't want another lover
But she was too late to discover
all this
All I wanted was my brother
And to feel a little love of life
again
I had to go and rediscover
Just what it was that made my soul tick
No more wine down in the cellar
That nasty shit made my spirit sick

Livin' Laughin' and Lovin'
Just havin' fun in the sun yea
No other place I'd be

It was the music I recovered
In part a tribute to my brother
with love
I got the people up and dancing
Now it's time to start romancing
again
I met a virtuoso lover
She showed me how to rediscover
That love and art can go together
And we can trust in one another

Livin' Laughin' and Lovin'
Just havin' fun in the sun yea
No other place I'd be

We’ve all been asleep too long
Wake up now and sing your song
Life's too short to give away
It's yours now, go your way

Livin' Laughin' and Lovin'
Just havin' fun in the sun yea
No other place I'd be

Living, Laughing, & Lovin'

A song I wrote, sang, played all the instruments on, and engineered/mixed - except for violin and viola played by Didem Somel.  Mastered by Alpenglow Studio/Bill Simpkins.  Tracked and mixed through the new MOTU 16A AVB interfaces.

World Music with a Jazz Infusion

Celestial Navigation is the musical exploration of three seasoned musicians, Didem Somel, Glen Anderson, and Robby Albrecht, tired of playing the same old thing. On a quest to strip away the mundane and frivolous; Celestial Navigation seeks to chart new musical waters on the wind and waves of harmony. 

Didem is a brilliant composer who plays violin, viola, piano, cello, and sings; Glen adds the low end with his soulful double bass stylings; Robby lays down the groove on drums and produces the music and videos.  

They each bring a unique perspective to the table and the music takes on a synergistic effect.
