Name: I'm Thinking Of You -Jimmy LaFave cover/interpretation by Chris Byers
Duration: 2 min 52 s
Description: An attempt to turn one of Jimmy's 1950s sounding songs into an even more 1950s sounding song and add some of my interpretation. Can't ever compare to the legend himself, but I enjoyed the effort. Did not get to invest as much time as I'd have liked in this version, so it's a rough draft, but hope you enjoy!

Good job, Chris. Love the pic of you and Uncle Jimmy when  you were just a boy.

There's just something special about unwinding after a hard day's work with a Shower Beer. That's the feeling the song aims to capture. Written as a catchy tune with some wordplay, and emphasis on a singable chorus, it's about a man's effort to recapture that relationship spark by sharing a shower beer with his special lady. I recorded all of the instrumentation and vocals using a mix of Garageband for iPad and Mac.

Shower Beer

Very proud of my daughter Hannah (age 7) who wrote her first melody and lyrics that became this song. 

I picked out the notes on the Piano from her singing it around the house and recorded the music for it. She added her vocals, and now we've got her first full tune!

Howling at the end is our dogs, mostly Oreo and Rocky :)

Cover of "This Boy" by the Beatles. Three-part harmony. Audio only. All vocals done by Chris.

An original song I wrote about a girl I am in love with.

All A Little Crazy

This song came out of a text conversation with good friend.  She talked about 'making love to being lonely' and that was it.  My thanks to Rachel for being my muse on this one.
