Some friends some laugh and crack cocaine of course

Horizon Interlude

A new track. Another wandering melody that got stuck in my head. So I  turned into this song.

Walking On

A fusion of influences combined to create a layered soundscape with guitar-centric improvisation in the second half.

Mitchell Frederick - Worlds Apart (Original Mix)

this is my gift to this world. I was going to release it on a big major label, but they didn't respond to me in time. Their loss. Our Gain. I love all the people of this beautiful world... The Saints and The Sinners... You are all equal to me in my eyes. We are all the same by design and function. We are all here for the same reason. To have fun :) 

This one goes out to all you beautiful people out there in this world. <3 1 One Love always and forever. Infinite love. Unconditional Love. <3

THE WAY

Daydreams

I believe
that my life's a whole lot more
than what you see
but I never seem to face reality
or maybe just to face my own mortality.

Sanity.
It is meant for someone else.
It's not for me.
My head it pounds
just like a timpani.
Scattered thoughts so
far away from clarity.

Pardon me.
Seems I've gotten lost again
in my daydreams.
Silly me.
Thinking I can change
this crazy world I see.
No certainty
for those like me.

I believe
the demons in my head
are never gone.
Their winding road
thru my life's been so long.
They only show themselves to me
when I'm not strong.

So I plead.
I pray for all your help
to find the key.
So I can finally solve
this mystery
and be the kind of man
I know I need to be.

Pardon me
but I've gotten lost again
in my daydreams.
Vanity
is believing I can change
this world I see.
If it can't be,
am I really free?

Pardon me
but I never claimed to be
this man you see.
The fallacy
is to think that you can change
a guy like me.

I remain free.
All flaws and me.

I'm flawed and free

and I still believe.

Daydreams

I wrote this song for a great friend. She suffered with MS for years before it took her life. The courage she displayed throughout that horrible ordeal was nothing I had ever seen or will ever see again. I hope she's looking down and smiling.

Gone, I'll Go


In desperate times like these I seem to lose all pride.
Burning dreams to survive.
I feel that I'm a passenger along this ride,
wishing just once I could to drive.

Need the hope that things will change.
Days like these can be hard.
Muddled thoughts can soon derange.
Leave your heart broke and scarred.

I can't control the myriad of thoughts that show
deep in corners of my mind.
Swirling round my head they seem to ebb and flow.
No safe places left to find.

In a race I just can't win.
The fix was in from the start.
See the Fool? Soon he'll begin.
His fall is always the best part.

I can fly high above the sky.
Far from all I've ever known.
If I catch the westward winds just right,
I'll soar to where they've never blown.

Then gone, I'll go.

I hearken back to days when I was so care free. 
Long before this malady.
Tearing at your heart well that's no way to be.
Why's this my reality?

All I want's to escape this cage.
I can't open up the door.
What I'd give just to turn this page?
So I can be free evermore.

I can fly high above the sky.
Far from all I've ever known.
And if I catch the westward winds just right,
I'll soar to where they've never blown.

Then gone, I'll go.

I can fly above the sky.
Never having to ask why.
Life these days, it is a lie.
Be no change before I die.

Heartaches always multiply.
Flaws they soon will magnify.
Dreams I need to fortify.
Faith and Hope's in short supply.

They all want me to comply.
Maybe tomorrow I'll try.
I just want to close my eyes.
Please God give me wings to fly.

I will fly high above the sky.
Far from all I've ever known.
I'll just catch the westward winds just right,
and soar to where they've never blown.

Then gone, I'll go.

Gone, I'll Go

As primarily a guitarist, I use several different guitars, Gibson Les Paul,  several PRS SE (and an S2) models (with some pickup modifications), Sire Larry Carlton S10, a Homer-T reliced Strat, and more. I record using a Line-6 Helix processor and a Fender Tone Master pedalboard.  I use Studio One Professional DAW and have a deep library of sounds, samples, and loops to create with.  The keyboard I use for triggering sounds and playing keyboard parts is a Komplete Kontrol S-49.

You'll see on my page (below) that my music also gets posted to several other platforms. I use CD Baby to publish my music to a greater audience.

Thank you to those who take the time to listen, comment, and repost - I appreciate it.  I know what I do is not for everyone, but I am happy to reach some who may find it enjoyable to listen to.
