A very low-fi recording using the Zoom Q3HD recorder with the video turned off. Just one take, no affects capability, and a little hiccup in the ending guitar part. It is what it is.

I Can't Read Your Mind

The inspiration for this song came from a book my sister gave me, Zen and Japanese Culture. I posted other versions of this song on Soundcloud but this is a second draft demo for a CD I am currently working on.

Auf Wiedersehen

This song is about the homeless vet that can be found anywhere in the world. They don't have to be American. They fought in a war for thier country, live to tell about it and still became a casualty. Many are forgotten, ignored, and put in the same category as all the other homeless people of the world. No home, no voice, no representation, no future.
This version is a first draft demo of an album I am currently working on.

Too Much To Lose

I wrote this song about a woman I had a crush on many, many years ago. I worked with her at a local Borders Books store. We met outside of work a couple of times but nothing ever materialized from it. She has never heard this tune or knows it exists.
This is a second draft demo for an album I am currently working on.

Sweet Eileen

This song was written not knowing where the inspriation came from. The song just spilled out quickly. After playing it several times it was revealed to me that my daughter is the reason behind  the tune. It has since occured to me that it is really about all our children and how we as parents worry and advise them. I never had much of a chance to see her much less advise her. I guess this song represents what most parents do and what I wish I could have done.

So Children Play

This is the 3rd draft of this song as it's being built up for a finished production. Think a jazzy Clarinet and a bit more electric guitar.

Pennies In The Well 10062011

This is a third draft of Little Treva. Clarinet will be added as well as more refined electric guitar.

Little Treva 10062011

This is a third draft demo of this tune on it's way to a finished CD. I'm thinking piano and definately cello to be added.

Magda 10062011

This is a song I wrote in homage to my father Henry Weldon Rawhoof. He served in Korea and retired from the Army. He survived the Korean conflict and enjoyed his remaining life being a father and working man and dabbled in various hobbies. Dad attempted to play the guitar and I'm thankful that his interest in music rubbed off on me.
His last conflict was with Mesothelioma. He lost that battle and I lost a father, my mother lost a husband, our children lost a grandpa. 
He'll always be a Hero to me.
