Beyond the long night

Oleg Yastrebov (Олег Ястребов, @v28yterij7ek) reached out to me to collaborate on a song idea based on an interesting percussion track that Oleg recorded.  I interpreted that recording, set a mood in my mind, and added the accompanying piano, bass and synth lines.  Oleg then added in an awesome groove and vibe on top of that with the drum kit and lush atmospheric harmonies, voices and singers.  Something to pass on the interest.

Walk Through a Pandemic #2

Set back and Let this flow come onto ya ...                                                                        It all began as an impromptu evening visit and morphed into a wonderful evening of musical magic...   
We recorded our Musical Conversations in Tim Elliot's living room with only one middling Microphone an Upright Piano and his Guitar suite, and I'm so glad we did!

Composer/Guitarist @davidjsvensson freely commented, "If the rest of the piece is even close to what the first two minutes were, then this is a masterpiece!!"  

So glad to share the results of this intimate honest and organic Live Jam with you all. I must say that i am looking forward to more such interactions with Tim. And i gotta say, 'Magic is Magic', however much Better one imagines it could have been.  :-D 

May you inJOY

Autumn Jam _ w. Tim Elliot

This is part 2 of some improvisational recordings I made with Pat Howell's beautiful handcrafted-from-a -kit dreadnought acoustic guitar.  Part 1 details the guitar's journey a little more and here I wanted Pat to hear his guitar in drop D tuning, and I thought you'd like to hear it too:)

For My Friend--Part 2

A song I wrote after a funeral for a friend

Goodbye, My Friend

“Ride or Die” is more than an album — it’s a declaration of loyalty, love, and life lived full throttle.
Every track carries the weight of real experience — from heartbreak and hard roads to redemption and revival. Joshua Mollohan fuses country soul with raw storytelling, painting vivid pictures of faith, family, and freedom.

With an unmistakable voice that cuts through noise and production built on authenticity, Ride or Die captures the spirit of standing firm when life tests your resolve — the kind of music that rides shotgun through every high and low.

This isn’t just an album you listen to.
It’s an anthem for everyone who’s ever stood their ground, loved without limits, and refused to quit.

GOD TOOK HIS TIME

Buck Ramble — When the Money Ain’t Never Over

Found in dusty reels marked “Goodnight Trail Sessions,” these are the long-lost recordings of Buck Ramble — the saloon singer turned silver-screen storyteller who lived long enough to see cowhands become celebrities.

Every track is a campfire sermon in rhythm: part truth, part tall tale.
He sings about lawmen, outlaws, faith, denial, women, whiskey, and the strange mercy of knowing too much.
By the time the record closes with the title track, Buck’s world has shifted from trail dust to camera lights — but the heart’s still out there under the same sky.
