This is a request for the cloud to submit editing suggestions and critiques. The songs have to be edited in their current 2 track format. Multi-track editing is not impossible but format and system changes made since these tracks were originally recorded makes it more of a task than I deem necessary. So arrangement, length, etc are what I'm looking for. sections, length are possible This is a previously unreleased CD that I am considering to market soon. I appreciate any and all input. One other VERY SPECIAL SONG was recorded during the same time period but has worked up nicely to a fully orchestrated production and may be released as a single when the time is right. - Micheal Jay Smith

You're So Damned mix 1

Recorded in 1986 as part of a 5 song demo C-12. We built a studio in some guys front yard in exchange for studio time. We used all the allotted time and squeaked out quite a few o=more hours to finish the project. By the end of it the guys wife was chasing us off the property, she said we were TOO LOUD ! ! ! We moved to California shortly there after. The band was Colony12 included myself- Micheal Jay Smith (Lead vocals, all guitars, Main Writer), Daniel Hardy (drums and percussion), Jonathan Wood (bass, backup vocals and keys). Eventually the demo will be released.

The Written Word (Sneak peek @ a Colony12 future release)

A melancholy, mournful yearn to retain a poisonous love affair doomed to certain loss.

A song for the times. Seems no matter what the date is, the song remains relevant to current circumstances. Put up by request from Supreme Artist and great friend, Mr. Brent Jeffrey Thomas. Experience his world class work @  http://www.brentjeffreythomas.com/

MORRIS (having some fun w/my 2yr old Daughter LngLng)

I wrote this song months before we knew we were having a girl. Somehow I just knew it. She's a gift from God for sure. This is a quick and dirty demo, I plan on recording a polished version soon.

The LngLng Song (a song about my 2 yr old daughter)

Experimentational, Instrumentational, Editational, Illuminational, Spiritualational journey to my UNDERRGROUND... bon voyage

Living Underground (you've never heard anything like this)

This labor of love brings to life an abstract concept of a lifeless body watching its soul depart. A metamorphosis from temporal to eternal.

White Light, Heaven

For my Parents Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary Today! 

Mom and Dad

The story of Gay and Sheridan
A couple married way back when
People knew what honor meant
A promise made, was promise kept
And I was born
Daddy joined USMC
Grandma took good care of me
Was just as cute as I could be
Grandma cried when mama's pride
Took baby home
Home to California
My first two years
When Daddy left the military
Utah bound and stationary
The family grew by two so very
Helpless yet extraordinary
Girl then a boy
As we grew we fought a lot
We wanted what the other got
Doing things we shouldn't ought
Passed the blame and still got caught
By Mom and Dad
We hated and we loved you
Mom and Dad
Now fifty years of memories
A Fiftieth Anniversary
This is how it's supposed to be
Together they made history
Mom and Dad
You know we love you dearly
Mom and Dad 
All your children, 
All your children's children
Mom and Dad
