Lyrics
How can one become so bounded by choices that somebody else makes?
How come we’ve both become a version of a person we don’t even like? 
We’re in love with the world but the world just wants to bring us down
By putting ideas in our heads that corrupt our hearts somehow 
When I was a child every single thing could blow my mind
Soaking it all up for fun but now I only soak up wine
They say to play hard you work hard find balance in the sacrifice 
Yet I don’t know anybody who’s truly satisfied
 
You better believe I’m trying to keep climbing
But the higher we climb feels like we’re both none the wiser
 
So I hope I learn to get over myself 
Stop trying to be somebody else
So we can love each other for free
Everybody wants something, you just want me
 
Why am I obsessing about the things I can’t control?
Why am I seeking approval from people I don’t even know? 
In these crazy times I hope to find something I can cling on to 
Cause I need some substance in my life
Something real, something that feels true
 
You better believe for you I’ve cried high tides
Cause I want you so bad but you can’t fight fire with fire 
 
Listen I know how low I can go 
I give as good as I get
You get the brunt of it all cause you’re all I’ve got left
Oh I hope in time we both will find peace of mind
Sometimes the road less travelled is a road best left behind

Adele - I Drink Wine (Live at The BRIT Awards 2022)

Lyrics: 
Woke up this morning
I was all alone
I don't know what happened
My baby was gone
Hey, hey, hey
How unlucky can one man be?
Lord, every woman I get
Somebody takes her away from me
My friends don't come around me
Because I've been so blind
I can't borrow a nickle
Not even a dime
Hey, hey, hey
How unlucky can one man be?
Lord, every woman I get
Somebody takes her away from me
I felt so all alone
I was pacing the floor
The telephone rang
There's my baby next door
Hey, hey, hey
How unlucky can one man be?
Lord, every woman I get
Somebody takes her away from me

Pitstop Jazz Jam - Blue Bossa

Another take on creating a track from a saxophone line. The original is heard up front. I have also added two drum loops. The bass, guitar, and piano are played by me. I think I have finally found a bass sound for recording. What you are hearing is my 5/8 sized Shen double bass with Corelli strings through a Rode NT1 Signature Series condenser mic placed about 2 feet away from the bridge. It then went into an SSL 2 audio interface with the 4K button engaged. I then added some eq to cut through the mix and a touch of room reverb. What do you think of the sound?

Counterbalance Evolution

Got up this morning and got this tune stuck in my head. I decided to practice some chord inversions, rootless chords, and chord substitution on the jazz guitar. I used some drum loops from loopcloud on this one, but the guitar and bass is me. Jazz guitar is recorded direct to my SSL2 along with a RODE NT1 signature series, with 4K on, about 16" away from the top. The bass was recorded with just the NT1 about 2 feet away from the bridge. I did use a little bit of compression on the bass here. Low compression ratio. I usually don't like compression on the double bass, but this seemed palatable and got my overall level of the bass track up without a lot of work.

I actually switched to standard guitar tuning for this track. For a while now, I have been sticking to fourths tuning on guitar. I realized, that with just a little bit of effort, I could play my shell voicings on the guitar. Most of the chords on this track are just three notes on the guitar. Primarily 1 3 7, or 1 7 3. Unless I am utilizing inversions or using the guitar register to add tension notes to the overall harmony.

This is my version of the tune written by the great percussionist Mongo Santamaria. I play the melody on a piccolo bass as well as the 6 string bass for the groove. I have programmed the percussion and harmonic accompaniment on my BOSS Jamstation.
