Mother And Daughter

Mom's harp and an old unlabeled Ariah guitar I picked up in EastVan, CA, for CAN$35 at an antique store w/some damage...

Rain Dogs
by Tom Waits

Inside a broken clock
Splashing the wine with all the Rain Dogs
Taxi we'd rather walk
Huddle a doorway 
with the Rain Dogs

For I am a Rain Dog too

Oh how we danced 
And we swallowed the night
For it was all ripe for dreaming

Oh how we danced away 
All of the lights
We've always been 
Out of our minds

The rum pours strong and thin
Beat out the dust man 
With the Rain Dogs

Aboard a shipwrecked train
Give my umbrella to the Rain Dogs
For I am a Rain Dog too

Oh how we danced with the Rose of Trolley
Her Long hair Black as a Raven

Oh how we danced 
And you whispered to me
You'll never be going  back Home...

RainDogs T.Waits Cover 882 feat. Jordan Heintz on StandUp Bass

From the Nineties. Janice sings back-up vocals. I played all the instruments and lead vocals.

There's A Place

All sounds were originally recorded acoustically by me → only two instruments were used: nylon string acoustic guitar and harmonica (in F# I think). I sampled the harmonica only, warped played and altered it using my old Edirol MidiKeyboard controller and presonous DAW to get us to what you hear here. This is part two. Each part can stand alone, but the complete version will also be released in the end. No instruments were harmed in the creation of this piece. This was my first attempt at sampling.
I'm happy that the sample is of my own acoustic playing. Hope you enjoy!
