Shoulda Saw It Coming {Remixed}

I was Surfing some New Sounds on My T.C. Electronics Voice Live III and came across some Floyd Synth which got me in a Pink Floyd Mood. I was Fooling with some simple One Stroke per Chord Change like  "Money" and came up with a Simple G,A,C,Em change up with an Em Rumble to a G,A,Em Power Series.

Love Addiction

Upbeat Tempo Blues in A with Cowbell. I Used Voice Live III Gender Gals to get this unique Sound. Grabbed my Guitar and just Tried out some Blues Shuffle that Worked Perfectly.  A to G, D to F, E to G with a Fantastic Drum Track I just Love. Hopefully you will Too!!!

Baby Blue Cadillac

Re*Issued version with Bass and Mandolin added. This song was written summer of Covid 19. Spent 6 mos out of work and wrote about a dozen songs. The Intro  E,G,D,A Inspired the Cord Run. Alley Cat lyrics came after mindless viewing of Face Book pics of Freddie the Cat!!!

ALLEY CAT

Wrote this at the beginning of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine when the threat of Nuclear War seemed a Possibility. Good thing our scientists are looking for other inhabitable planets. Dang that Einstein Anyway!!

RUM'S ALL GONE

I wrote this song as Putin put his men on the March thru Ukraine and War had begun. Spaceships to Mars seem to be Likely in our Future. Hopefully the Powers that be will one day realize that Nuclear Bombs are a threat to ALL Humans and Life on this Planet and just Maybe destroy ALL of them!!!

Saturn's on the Horizon

Sounds Like a Loop, but I Played these three Chords Over and Over on top of a Cool Drum Track and just began Vocalizing and Came Up with this Crazy Song about a Mish-Mosh of Ideas!!!  Do You Disco? Do You Believe in Ghosts? Do You Do Your Own Thing?

Cast My Own Shadow

I Re-wrote the Chorus to be More of a Love Song, because We are All Addicted to Love! And We All Need it Some MORE!!!

LOVE ADDICTION ( new version )

I had this Interesting Guitar Idea and added some drum track to It.  Built Song off the Line - If you Take One from Me, I'll Rip you in Two. Then I added - I Don't Like Thieves and I Don't Like to Lose.

Don't Like Thieves

I wrote this song in my head while driving across Rt 70 from Wash Pa to Greensburg Pa. The Drive actually sucked but I made the Best of it and jotted down the whole thing when I got there. My Favorite Rainy Day Song, however I had to adapt the original melody to what I could play easily on the Guitar!!  Pic is by David DeCillo Photography PGH PA/

Working in the Rain

I remember writing this on a Saturday morning after waking up to a Nose Bleed. I think the Movie we watched the Night before had something to do with the dark nature of this song. Later the next day I sat down with the guitar and finished what I thought would be the song, but I made some last minute revisions while recording this track on YouTube. I never played this song out or ever played it again. Something just clicked right at Midnight on a Sunday.

Bleed

I wrote this Guitar piece first as an Instrumental and the Idea of Baby I got You was developed as I played. a Few days later I wrote the versus and finished the Song using most of the original Song. There is still something profound with the First Recording even though its mostly an Instrumental.

Baby I Got You

A friend of mine was laughing and saying I sound better after I had a shot of Whiskey! So a Shot Showed Up!! Well I laughed and said I Need a Double Shot!! Thanks to Jody Engel who produced these awesome backing tracks. Some say this was our best song together. Double Shot of Whiskey made it originally on D.I.Y. by L.D. Songs and was released as a single in 2014. I re-did the vocals utilizing new technologies in my studio.

Double Shot of Whiskey Mastered

Hopefully you will hear something reminiscent of Johnny Cash.  My Mentor was teaching me how to get that country train sound rollin' while we were recording Make Me Stay. I played on the title of A Boy Named Sue recorded by Johnny Cash way back when. This is for all YOU DOG LOVERS OUT THERE!!!   T.Y. Noah for the use of your photo. In Loving Memory of Missy, my Little sweet heart Poma*poo  mix.

A Girl Named Sue

I started out by experimenting with some slides into different chords D,A, and G.  Then the Idea of You Never Told Me came along for the Chorus. Next step took 2 mos. to simmer with different ideas for the verses and Last the bridge.

Never Told Me

Bullshit

Em-G-B,B,-A Love Her Like She's Gone!  My Guitar Coach told me to let the Chords Ring Out for variety. This is what I came up with. The story is of a Love Loss Prevention to a Younger Man from an Older, Less Wiser Man who's Lost Love.

Like She's Gone

Partially written from a true experience from a Girl I kissed in the Second Grade. Later in the Seventh Grade We Kissed Again. Diane may have actually given me THE FEVER!!  Must be A Full Moon Tonight!!  Recorded using Voice Live III  You Give Love A Bad Name Setting.  Played on my Washburn WI-64-DL.

Mary's Got The Fever

Saw a political ad running on F/Book and took the 3 Headline Items. I've been watching plenty of news to write lyrics in about 1hr and basically wrote the song in one day.
