I needed shoulder surgery in December and am unable to play stringed instruments (except a little mandolin) for six weeks. Trying to keep creating, using midi keyboard. Been listening to a lot of Beatles. Some early Bowie vibes may have crept in.

Mr. Radio Man 1 - 5-24 V1.6

Still can't play stringed instruments, but trying to make music with midi. Rediscovered both Trillian and Stylus RMX on my hard drive!

I Don't Know Much 1 - 6-24 V1.2

Experimenting with new music software to make a two part song structure. I had  a friend in California add electric guitar which was  fun cross country collaboration.

Have To Go  Away For Some Time 1 - 7-24 V1.3

An original song using mandolin and midi/synth. I am injured and can't play other stringed instruments, but it is a fun challenge to work within the confines of only a mandolin and midi. This song was influenced by Talking Heads, who I used to love.

Pay You Back In Kind 1 - 7-24 V2.2

Friend of the Devil

I made a first attempt at Pink Floyd's "Brain Damage->Eclipse" from Dark Side of the Moon. I played the song on acoustic guitar rather than electric guitar which is used on the album. I overdubbed bass and also harmonies. The song "Eclipse" has a whole choral backing section and I did four vocal overdubs (including some acapella acrobatics) to approximate the sound. Then I had my friend WT overdub drums. The drums add so much to the chorus. I'm grateful to her! It was fun to try a less covered Floyd song. 

Brain Damage-Eclipse 5-6-25 v1.5

Tammany String Band plays acoustic music from Americana to bluegrass to folk in New York City. Peggy-O is a traditional song.
Tammany String Band is John Britton on vocals and mandolin; Jay Keuper on bass, Jane Perrino on vocals, and Tim Schmidt on guitar and vocals.

Peggy - O

acoustic version of Dylan's "One More Cup of Coffee". Michael Karnow on acoustic guitar and vocal.

One More Cup Of Coffee 2 - 24 - 18 V2

This song started as a solo acoustic sing songwriter track, vaguely in an old-time musical style. Pete Miser took that straightforward song and totally reimagined it. I'm thrilled and honored by the work he did on it.

Our Direction 1.0

Acoustic guitar; folk; Americana; jam band influences; blues; rock; old time; bluegrass; grungey stuff. Even some electro and EDM vibes occasionally. I play a wide mix of music with a lot of different people.
