Oregon is Radicalized

here is a cassette recording of Pete 'The Ox' Colpitts banging the conga along with me playing an acoustic guitar  for a wrist rousing version of 'Amsterdam' back in 1999 in my cottage. We might have skated Greer park or some backyard Roman pool in South San Jose before this session. Getting to skate and rock with Pete is what it's all about!!
Amsterdam is one of my favorite spots in the world.

The Sea,The Sky and Stars-RS2

I wrote this song a few years ago after meeting a super nice Brazilian skater gal in Santa Cruz,Ca. I was listening to a lot of Djavan and Patrina Morris at the time and was going for the mellowest vibe possible. I got my friend Waychill Saffire to sing this with me and I am really stoked the way it came out. RS2-vocals and guitar, Waychill Saffire-vocals, John Old-guitar,Josh Hanoka-Guitar,Brian Vega-fender electric bass, Randy Fard-drums
