Song I wrote in 1981, with the help of my late friend Peter Seplow, and recorded about that time at his Spectrum Recorders in the Berkshires in Massachusetts.  Peter does a shaker type thing on the recording. His then-wife Liz does backing vocals.  I recently added some effects and a vocal, along with a "bonjour" from Laura early in the track, though her greeting may be too mixed back to hear. Me on guitar and some background stuff.  A song to hear when you're sick of snow.

Dancing and Dreaming

Serious track for me.  Playing everything.  Wrote this one decades ago; this recording made a couple years back. Inspired by my mother not waking up when I needed her when I was a little boy.  "Eyes never are open..."  Have played this a lot on the piano, sometimes with just the chording as an instrumental.

The Moment You Need Them

Written and performed by S.L. Hug.  The song is not a religious song but was inspired by Pope Francis' declaration of a "Year of Mercy." Played two guitars and harmonica, and used the midi keyboard for organ, bass and drums.
Due to the mp4 format, it's likely you won't hear the bass part. Oh well!

Believe Trust Forgive (Year of Mercy)

Kind of a psychedelic folk rock thing.  Written with my friend Phil Garrity back in the 1990s.  I play all the instruments, real or otherwise, and do the vocals.  Laura makes a brief appearance, telling me to "shut my mouth" like in the Shaft song.  I keep tweaking the mix on this, which was recorded in 2010 and tweaked in 2012...all on GarageBand. The volume and bass sound are really kind of challenging.  You may need to pump this through a separate speaker system.

It's All the Same in the Morning remix

A track I wrote back in 2010 shortly after buying a new guitar.  Me doing everything.

Have At It (By the band Still Unnamed)

What can you say...it's about extraterrestrials.  And if you're into ETs, you may be into Art Bell, who was the king of late night radio.  He focused on UFOs, ghosts (remember "Ghost to Ghost Radio"?), demons, shadow people, what have you.  And he lives out by Area 51.  The great news: Art Bell is returning to broadcasting, this time on satellite radio, which is appropriate I suppose!  Anyway, there's a shout out to Art Bell in this song.

It's me on everything in this recording of the song, which I wrote and recorded a couple years back. For the techies: recorded on an old version of Garage Band.  I think I used a snowball microphone, but I might have just sung into the Mac.

Hey, maybe Art Bell will play this on his new show.  If you like the song, email him the link!
