Voice of the nation

It's called "Plug & Play" because I plugged my SG into my Marshall...and played. All one take, including some fun string noise. I created the jam track, which is really just me playing a bass groove along with a drum loop. I hope you enjoy. It was sure fun to play.

Plug & Play

"Micro Jam" (demo v1) 

A short one minute jam or sketch I played this weekend using my 37-key Korg microKEY AIR as a MIDI controller. The VST sounds come from Arturia Mini V4 (Minimoog bass sound), Audiolounge Key Affair 3, Spectrasonics Keyscape, UVI FMX2 XL, Gospel Musicians' Neo-Soul Keys Studio 2 and UVI Emulation III. Drums and the fantastic drum beat come from UVI Beatbox Anthology 2 (The 7o7 kit).

Recorded and mixed in Cubase Pro with significant help from iZotope Neutron. Mastered with Ozone 11.

Here are links to a short video where I played the bass line:

WE CAN BE GREATER ...

A tale of two souls searching for the unknown “other" until they at last cross the same bridge (whether literal or figurative) and meet in one magical lifetime moment of divine providence. The glory of finding that special someone. Nat and I co-wrote this one.

Lyrics: I Found My Angel by Daniels & Durgy

Daydreams sift throughout my thought
Memories drift so seldom caught
I wonder where, my love you are
 
Wandering through each day alone
You remain my love unknown
And I still wonder where you are

But as I search the growing dark, I see a light shine from afar
Shining surely in the night, glowing purely, growing bright

Like a magnet to a key
This light was ever drawing me
And with your halo you appeared
Gone was the darkness I had feared

That is when I fell in love with an angel
Oh, that’s when I fell in love with you

I am walking through a haze
Blindly searching in a maze
I wonder where, my love, you are

Losing hope there’ll ever be
Someone, somewhere just for me
But I still wonder where you are

A millions stars up in the sky, so very far, so very high
Then like a comet through the dark, there’s a glimmer, there’s a spark

As I stand here, as I breathe
Heaven led you here for me
At last, the bridge that leads me to
The other side, to be with you

That is when I fell in love with an angel
Oh, that’s when I fell in love with you

I Found My Angel

This track might test the patience of listeners, as it is yet another iteration of the same idea. However, each version brings a new arrangement and consistently reaches a higher level of quality. The journey of refining this piece has taken me through many phases—some versions were more dynamic and hypnotic, others felt raw and unpolished. Yet, with each iteration, I moved closer to the quality I truly wish to share with you.

It is my deep respect for you, my listeners, that drives me to create a version that feels fresh, distinct, and genuinely good—one that reaches a more professional level. Ultimately, however, the true judgment belongs to the audience.

In an era where music can be generated with a single click, the effort I pour into this uneven battle feels even more valuable. Each step in this process teaches me something new, and my curiosity never fades. With each new recording, I embrace increasingly advanced and demanding sound mixing techniques, allowing me to refine my artistry and push the boundaries of quality. Because of that, I can release new recordings with confidence—whether they are fresh creations or improved versions of earlier ideas.

Best Regards 😘

Lyrics
Well when…
yesterday’s deaths are tomorrow’s lack of news
the headlines read a tragedy of a rich man’s point of view
while all around we struggle as their fight goes on and out
we’re just candles in a monsoon and a lightning strike in drought
We feed monsters in our heads
We beat monsters under our bed 
We need monsters to aim our guns
We feel monsters to regret what’s done
Yeah we are monsters

With every breath a fresh chance a new time to be awake
but we’d rather hate our enemies than befriend a fool who’s fake
with every shot not taken that’s saved up ‘til the end
dying in our apathy in our wake we’ll still pretend
that every day’s a new day another chance to be alive
instead we choose the monsters feed them demon’s ‘til they thrive
We feed monsters in our heads
We beat monsters under our beds
We need monsters to aim our guns
We feel monsters to regret  
Do you regret what’s done
Monsters…just monsters 
We’re monsters of monsters and monsters
Monsters…just monsters 
We’re just monsters of monsters and monsters
Monsters…just monsters
We’re all monsters of monsters and monsters
Monsters…just monsters
They’re all monsters of new old monsters
We’ll all monsters and monsters and monsters
All monsters of monsters their monsters
All monsters of monsters they’re monsters
We’re all monsters of their old monsters
Monsters of their old monsters
They’re monsters
Same old monsters


Feeding Monsters

Jeff and I are happy to present our first live arena gig! Not really, but you can imagine.  This one started when Jeff was telling me about how he and Jo (sonic structures and silent stretches ) were writing some of their poetry in a stream off consciousness style, writing a line and then handing it off back and forth until it was done.   I suggested maybe we try something like that with the guitars.   So we did.  We exchanged ideas until it felt done and here's where we landed.   
This one was a lot of fun to pull together and really just kind of not think about it as we wrote.

Who Said Anything About a Bridge? - w/Stonerjazz

This one is a very nostalgic song that I wrote back in 2008, it has that early 60's vibe to it. My wife I needed some good vibrations since we were dealing with her Breast Cancer treatments and all that. We really needed a feel good song and so I wrote this. I even got her to sing background vocals with me on two songs at that time, this being the first and "Back In Younger Days" being the second, I'll be making a video on that one later on this year. 
    I double-tracked Charlie's vocals and he sang it perfectly! I remember having a real good time at these sessions, lots of laughing and finger snapping and rockin' & rollin' and what not!😂 I always want to relive the good ole days where smiles were plenty and frowns were few, like on "Memory Lane"! 

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/h5xvwxljOZc

     The video is brand spanking new, I just finished it last week! I worked hard on it for several days and tried to capture that Beach Boys kind of vibe of the early 1960's. I finished the video after hearing the sad news of Brian Wilson's passing on June 11th, 2025. That really made me sad, another of my musical hero's now gone. He was a real musical genius! There are 3 parts to the song, all about guys begging forgiveness from their girlfriends for something stupid that guys always seem to do, I Still Remember that!😂
     I think this is one Miami Jeff's best songs and certainly one of my favorites. It's very catchy and is a perfect summertime song! So I hope everyone is having a great summer and is eager to take another trip down Memory lane with me. This time to the beach! Let your hair down, take your shoes off, put the top down on the convertible and let the good times roll! Ooh, Ooh! Ooh!😎✌🏼

“I STILL REMEMBER”

I CAN STILL RECALL THE DAY I MADE YOU CRY,    
HOW I HURT YOU, YES I HURT YOU,    
I’M SO SORRY I COULD DIE,
               
I WAS YOUNG AND DIDN’T CARE IF YOU WERE SAD,   
NOW I’M OLDER, YES I’M OLDER,   
AND I MISS THE LOVE WE HAD,
                   
I REMEMBER, OOH, OOH,         
I STILL REMEMBER, OOH, OOH,        
THE WAY YOU HELD ME TIGHT,           
THE WAY WE KISSED GOODNIGHT,      
I REMEMBER, OOH, OOH,             
I STILL REMEMBER, OOH, OOH,         
THOSE SUMMERS ON THE BEACH,      
THEY’RE STILL WITHIN’ OUR REACH,       
SO PLEASE,         
IF THESE WORDS SOMEHOW TOUCH YOU DEEP INSIDE,       
MY WHOLE WORLD STILL IN YOUR EYES,       
SO PLEASE FORGIVE THIS FOOLISH HEART OF MINE,

I KNOW I WAS WRONG FOR TREATING YOU THAT WAY,  
PLEASE FORGIVE ME, JUST FORGIVE ME,   
GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE TO SAY,

I WILL NEVER BREAK YOUR HEART AS I DID THEN, 
I WILL LOVE YOU, ALWAYS LOVE YOU,  
IF YOU FILL MY ARMS AGAIN,
     
I REMEMBER, OOH, OOH,        
I STILL REMEMBER, OOH, OOH,          
THE WAY YOU HELD ME TIGHT,        
THE WAY WE KISSED GOODNIGHT,       
I REMEMBER, OOH, OOH,             
I STILL REMEMBER, OOH, OOH,               
THOSE SUMMERS ON THE BEACH,      
THEY’RE STILL WITHIN’ OUR REACH,       
SO PLEASE,      
IF THESE WORDS SOMEHOW TOUCH YOU DEEP INSIDE,     
MY WHOLE WORLD STILL IN YOUR EYES,         
SO PLEASE FORGIVE THIS FOOLISH HEART OF MINE,

I STILL REMEMBER, DARLING I REMEMBER,        
I STILL REMEMBER, DARLING I REMEMBER,         
I STILL REMEMBER, DARLING I REMEMBER.

((**apologies for not being on Soundcloud nearly as often as I used to... I try to catch up on all the great music you are all putting out there just may take some time!**))

This tune is another variation of an old original piano melody that's gone through several drastic 'evolutions', appearing in a number of my other songs. In this version I'm playing a harp sound on the keyboard run through an arpeggiator. sounds very Enya-esque.

Here are the other very different versions based on the main piano theme:

- Away With The Rapids (2023 with the Eclectic Collective)

- Elementus III (2023 electronica version)

- Harp of My Dreams - reprise 2022  (an alternate version of this track)

lyrics:
This is not a drill!

Give me something to break it in two
give me glory to rule the fools
take me in your house on a big flat screen
Ready to sink you on a dark black dream

Are you ready to become a slave of me?
Corrupted government ain't gonna set u free
All these righteous pre-election pigs
are now pointing the finger for you to pay the fee

Now it's the time, this is not a drill
ain't got no privilege , got nothing to feel
Your heart is gray from the news today
only your soul left in the end to pay


(p) & (c) 2025, Hostal Handshake.

This is not a drill! (new song 2025)
