Chitlins Con Carne is one of my favorite songs by SRV.  Testing out some new gadgets and I threw this together as a short tribute.  Nowhere near the master, but sounds cool.

Chitlins Con Carne

I wanted to check out the "Crunchy Blues" effect on Garageband and what better song to try.  I can't/won't sing, so I just played the vocal track too. Hey, it's something...

Pride and Joy

My first recording using my new mixing doc and Garageband on my iPhone.  It's some simple blues but kinda sounds cool.  Dont hate, I haven't recorded in a while.

Blues Test

Eric Clapton Unplugged is one of my favorite albums of all time. I wanted to do a quick test of the garage band acoustic mic filters and what better song to test it out.  It’s a short version and a little sloppy but s sounds cool.

Tears in Heaven (short)

A quick and dirty attempt at matching Clapton's version of Danny Boy from the B-Side of Change the World.  I love Clapton's version of this very special song - I only wish I could play it like him at some point.

Danny Boy

A short rendition to one of my favorite blues classics, Key to the Highway.

Key to the Highway

In 1996 in the small town of Kankakee, IL a group of four wannabe grunge high school rockers mocked their fate of being future yuppies and formed Doodle.  Wicked Brew and Sweet Junes Coffee Shops may be closed, the stage at Bishop McNamara High School is probably an iPhone charging station or Starbucks now and the Momence Bowling Alley is... probably still the Momence Bowling Alley.... but the sounds of Doodle can now LIVE ON without these walls through the technology of the Internet (you know, Whiskerville, but bigger).

In all seriousness these 8 tracks sound terrible with the benefit of hindsight but they do represent a fun time in the lives of those who recorded them.  Feel free to make fun, but if you were never in a crappy high school grunge band, rest assured - we probably had way more fun than you in 1996.    

Jamie (Weezer Cover)

Just a husband/father/workin' stiff who used to be good at guitar once.  I hack away in my basement, recording quick tracks to my phone seeking global stardom while I am waiting for laundry loads to dry.  So pretty much the same bio as Eric Clapton...
