Nothing Left To Say

this is the weirdest tune from a pop band that I was in a long time ago (Kracker Jack Tattoo)...we wrote this one as a band in our rehearsal space and didn't play it a whole lot, but recorded it at my friend's studio...LT is on vox and drums...Dave Baker played keys and sang...I played bass and sang and Randy Zeh played guitar and sang...fun tune...

Just Another Day - Kracker Jack Tattoo

this is an acoustic thing that I played for a long time...my daughter Mercedez asked me to record it for her senior project power point...I added a melody on top that kind of reflected the weirdness in my life at this point...it's kinda pretty...

Bittersweet

this song is about a girl...that got away...they do that sometimes...:)

The One That Got Away

I wrote this tune 25+ years ago...it was some chords that I strung together that sounded very pop at the time...had a lot of people asking to hear it updated...then this bird happened in my life and it loved reggae...so I made a tune for Cody Bird to jam to...LOL...

Sugar Shack (Cody Bird Remix)

here's a tune about it all going down the drain...very personal lyrics in places...it's jangly with a fun bass line...typical Daron stuff...

Famous Last Words (1 - 20 - 15)

showing the arc of a tune...this is the original writing demo that I recorded for this tune...has longer intro with cutesy synth stuff...the drums are kinda drums'n'bass style...the backing tracks and bass line are all from a Roland Groove keyboard...it wasn't a workstation keyboard, but it could do everything...the biggest change is usually in the solo section...this is the first one that I did...

Startrip (original Demo)

so here's the second version of Startrip...it's got my buddy Steve Taylor on drums...I used the Korg Triton for all the backing tracks here...fake delay vocals and another solo section...

Startrip 2 (WBS Demo W Taylor On Drums)

here's the latest version of Startrip from a project that I did called Fingers to Fists...it's got all sorts of different stuff going on...guitars are way heavier on this one (courtesy of Fractal Axe-FX)...plus, Ian Demory on lead vox...similar to a lot of the older pop style industrial stuff that influences me...think Reznor/Zombie/Gravity Kills...

Startrip MSTD 3

a couple of weeks ago, my buddy Kim gave me lyrics about me...seems like they weren't very neighborly...but true...I guess you can judge...however, I took the opportunity to make a very sad pop song with them...I did turn some of them around a little and make it more user friendly, but that's probably not fair...LOL...

Kissed The Girls

this is two of my favorite tunes...strung together and hung up like I was on you...RIP and much love to Nick and Johnny...thank you for the beautiful tunes that mean so much to so many...

Pink Memory

this is a tune from the DizFunkShun days that I redid after that band dissolved...it's a funky tune that may be more a rewrite of a purple one's tune than an original thought in my head...regardless, it features the baddest guitar player that I ever played with playing lead guitar (Bonzai Bryan Young)...also featured Greg Mistretta on bass and Keith McGee on drums...I sing and play wah wah guitar way too loud in the mix...LOL...
