Here's an old song of mine that's near and dear. Started rerecording maybe 6 months ago, but got sick of hearing it, so had to stop. So this isn't complete, but it's getting there...
Fred: guitars, bass, drums, vocals, background vocals.
Kevin Brown: organ, piano, mellotron

New Renaissance

Just a quick construct on my new Boss RC-300 looper...fun fun fun.

Bug Tussle Hustle

Fundamentally Z

This is an original titled "The Evil and the Light"
Thanks to my good friend Kevin Brown for the amazing, heartfelt vocal. 
Recorded @ MS Pro Studio, Parkville, Md. , Sound engineer Gary Charles. Every time I listen to this with headphones I'm just in awe of what Gary did with this song. He is truly a master of his craft.  
I wrote this as a poem one year on the beach on Sanibel Island. It remained a poem for 5-6 
years until I got around to writing the music. The controlled feedback is intended to sound like projectiles on a battlefield.
Btw, the solo was recorded through a stereo preamp/processor using both my 60w Seymour Duncan and a 100w Marshall w/ 4x12 cabinet….. and 3 mikes.
Because, sorry folks, you just can't get THAT sound with amp modeling.


Evil and Light: --Original Song, shades of David Gilmour

After Googling 1920s slang, I wrote these lyrics in 20 minutes flat. Lyrics below, hope you like!

If the turkey trot is in a rot and the Charleston’s starting to lag.
And the jitterbug’s starting to be a drag, you can step on up and do the Freddie Rag
Take off your Derby, loosen your suit, have some giggle water but don’t get on a toot. Don’t be a dew dropper, don’t be a sag, get up and do the Freddie Rag
Now you’re on the trolley and everything’s Jake, it’s just the cat’s pajamas, for heavens sake
It don’t take much Mazumba to join on in, so grab your tomato and give her a spin
Forget about the shimmy and the Lindy Hop cause once you get started you won’t wanna stop
I wouldn’t kid you brother it isn’t a gag, everybody’s doing the Freddie Rag
