A cover of the Bobby Darin version of this song I recorded on a 4-track recorder before we had our kids!  It was my last-ditch effort to get some music written (which I'm uploading next).

If I Were a Carpenter Cover

My first attempt at song writing using ACID Pro 4.0 using looped drums.  That's why the fills suck so badly!  Still, I had fun doing this.

Another tune from my final blast of songwriting before my sons were born!  I knew it'd be a while before I'd ever write again, so I spent Spring and Summer 2005 writing original tunes. This is my attempt at some rockin' guitar tones. Partially successful.

Jump Into the Fire

I'm still stuck on this one: I never could get a bridge or second chorus that would make it a decent song.  That said, it means a lot because I wrote it after jamming at a July 4 party with a band called Man Down from Wyoming County, I think -- wanted badly to join them, but they never called me back.  SOB! But this song was written when all was right with the world -- a new house, plans for children, a little dog Molly and I loved, and that's what I was trying to capture -- me starting to grow up, I guess!

Call It Home

This is a remix featuring comments made by my friend Steve Molins and I during a show by our band Phoenix at Stafford Carnival in 2010, I believe.
