Screwing around with digital recorder part two.

November Rain - Cover

Was supposed to see this band back in the day with Metallica.  Imagine my disappointment when out on the stage walked Candlebox instead of Alice in Chains!

Nutshell - Cover

In spring of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic impacted millions of lives across the globe.  In these times of fear, anxiety, and uncertainty, we need hope and unity more than ever.  This song is dedicated to the warriors on the front line who are literally fighting to keep us alive, and to the millions of jobless souls who have been deemed "non-essential".

Please pass this on to anyone who could use a little hope during this time...to see this with an epic video slideshow that I put together, please visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtQp1QbNTSY.

Note - This was my first time using Reaper, and first time doing all instruments/parts by myself (including drums)...so the quality is NOT the best.  If you are a recording/mixing engineer in search of a project to help with, I'd love to have your help to make this sound as good as possible!

To Have It All Again

Crashing Down By Mike Murphy

If racism is a pandemic, then hopefully this song helps vaccinate the hate. This was my first try at something with a HipHop vibe, but not sure how to really classify it. I did it all myself (vocals, instruments, lyrics), but don't have near the "beat making" skills as most, so I have new appreciation for that.

Trouble By Mike Murphy

An original song of the times, as we look to get through one of the worst years ever. This is still a raw mix but I wanted to share this one early since many folks could use it!

Rearrange

This song is my New Year's toast to getting 2020 the hell outta here.
