Songs of 2025

Yellow House

Lars and John try a classic song by the Clash, "Guns of Brixton". 

Guns of Brixton (Lars) 1-5-25 v2

A second attempt at the Norah Jones song "Staring at the Wall". On this version I overdubbed the piano part that is in the original song. Thanks Chris D for the keyboard pointers!

Staring At The Wall (WTJB) 1-8-25 v1.3

A second attempt at The Clash song "Guns of Brixton". I played electric guitar and sang with a drummer and then overdubbed bass. This cool song has a hypnotic groove. 

Guns of Brixton (WTJB) 1-8-25 v1.2

My second attempt at the song "Naked Eye" by Luscious Jackson, and my first attempt with a drummer. This song has an infectious groove on the chorus. The all-female band Luscious Jackson were ahead of their time. 

Naked Eye (WTJB) 1-8-25 v1.2

A cover of the Rollings Stones song "Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)" from 1973. Hard to do justice to the original song (with its cool Billy Preston clavinet), but it is fun to play. 

Heartbreaker (WTJB) 1-8-25 v1.2

Our talented neighbors who live in the iconic "Yellow House" at Ditch Plains in Montauk came over for some epic jams this summer. We tried the Stevie Wonder classic "Superstition" on one of the nights. First attempt at the song and the first time most of the musicians had played together. It had some raucous high energy. 

Superstition 8-23-25 v1.3

Yellow House music jam at our Ditch Plains cottage in August 2025. We tried Paul McCartney's "Oh Darling" for the first time. A one take wonder. Rough around the edges (and sorry for the train wreck on the second pre chorus), but wonderful warm vibes.

Oh Darling 8-23-25 v1.2

The talented musical neighbors at Yellow House next door came over for a few jams in August. We tried "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor, a 1970s disco masterpiece. Fun first attempt.

I Will Survive 8-23-25 v1.2

The talented musical neighbors at Yellow House next door came over for a few jams in August. We tried Gwen Stefani and No Doubt's "I'm Just a Girl" for the first time. Chita killing it on vocals. 

I'm Just  Girl 8-23-25 v1.2

The talented musical neighbors at Yellow House next door came over for a few jams in August. We tried "Only Fools Rush In", famously done by Bing Crosby and Elvis Presley. Dr. Bruce on vocals. 

Only Fools Rush In 8-23-25 v1

The talented musical neighbors at Yellow House next door came over for a few jams in August. We tried "Up On Cripple Creek" by The Band. There is one major train wreck (my bad), but the song has good energy. 

Up On Cripple Creek 8-27-25 v1.6

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.
