They Might Be

Testing out my new half-size classical guitar, and this came out.

Whispering Grass

Mother (John Lennon Cover)

Before I get serious about this new album thingy, I thought I'd do a cover to break the sonic ice. This Loudon Wainwright song has always been one of my favorite tunes, though I can't hold a night light to the original, which always makes me nostalgic for summer times of yore. Maybe this will do the same for you, if I'm lucky. Enjoy!

The Swimming Song (Loudon Wainwright III Cover)

Wrecking Ball (Miley Cyrus Cover)

I recorded this almost five years ago when I heard the news that Michael Jackson had died. It's not that good, but I'm not ashamed to say that I had to record and sing something in light of that news.

Stranger In Moscow (Michael Jackson Cover)

Car On A Hill (Joni Mitchell Cover)

So what is the answer 2 the question of u
What do I look 4, what shall I do?

Which way do I turn when I'm feeling lost?
If I sell my soul, now what will it cost?

Must I become naked? No image at all?
Shall I remain upright? Or get down and crawl?

All of the questions in my life will be answered
When I decide which road 2 choose
What is the answer 2 the question of u?

Question Of U (Prince Cover)

A song about school from a student's perspective. As heard on Season 2 of Hit Record on TV.

lyrics
Teacher, 
I sit inside your box 
and I stay within the lines. 
I'm the blackboard. Draw me in 
and cram everything 
you can in. 

Teacher, 
you'd better learn it this time, 
this subject 
difficult to define. 
You'd better mark this down: 
This life is mine. 

Teacher, 
My head ain't filled with rocks. 
They're stepping stones 
and building blocks 
and geeks are the jocks 
and I'm thinking outside 
the school box.

School Box

If there are anteaters, 
then are there uncle eaters, too? 
Yes, there are uncle eaters. 
Here's what they do: 
They eat the aunts 
and the uncles of the ants. 
They eat the aunts 
and the uncles of the ants. 
They eat the aunts 
and the uncles of the ants. 
They eat the ants. 
And then they dance.

Anteaters

Emma Wallace is a fantastic singer, songwriter, and pianist, and I'm so happy to have the chance to sing any song with her. So! Here's a cover of Little Drummer Boy/Peace On Earth, made famous by Bing Crosby and David Bowie in 1977.

Hey everyone, spaceship here with the "final" mix - I use quotes because, as is the case with all things hitRECord, nothing is ever final, finished, or complete. In fact, you can remix this entire track as you see fit, as the STEMS are in the Working File, just waiting for you to work your remix magic!

Big thanks to everyone who helped to make this happen:

Metaphorest, for writing such a brilliant song!
All the vocalists and musicians who contributed...I wish there had been room for ALL of you! The final lineup includes the following hitRECorders: AaltusFelix, amaliastephenson, annoyingpencilsmudge, CariLive, CharlieArmour, DreamerIntheSky, elisaziza, jeffpeff, JenCecarr, Jonnywb, kouralilly, Metaphorest,  Mrhappyonline, NazH, njlang, patthepragmatic, resonancemusiq, RosellaWeigand, schizonoid444, Scottivarius, spaceship and Tyrann0s.
The hitRECord staff, who thought it was a good idea to have me come aboard as a Resident Audio Producer, strangely enough!
BeyondTheGarage for starting the New Generation of Family Songs project, as well as Vickie for her work as Audio Curator for said project. :D
jeffpeff, who lent his ears to a previous mix and gave great suggestions, which helped make the mix what it is today, and taught me a good deal about the power of EQ.
kouralilly, who lent her ears to all the mixes of this production along the way, whether by choice or by force...thank you, honey! <3

Little Lullaby

I was challenged by my wife today to record a song. This is the result - a cover of 'Til I Die by the Beach Boys.

Though I unfortunately could not squeeze everyone in, what I got in was a lot - well over 120 tracks worth! :o And I feel I was able to strike a balance by including a veritable "Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" of an all-star cast here, completely with me in a cameo role a la Jimmy Durante, happy kicking a bucket in time to the beat. ^_^

Thanks to gothicpixie and to adammuller003 for providing the lyrics and music for this song. Without them, this would not exist!

Thanks to kouralilly for being my in-house music coordinator - if not for her, this mix  would be considerably less mixilicious. <3 

Thanks to Vickie (eaneikciv) for running the Tiny Tunes Project, from which this song sprang forth (as well as many, many other songs) in response to a challenge we issued during my Tiny Tunes assignment. 

Thanks to the staff of hR for having me in the role of Resident Audio Producer, and to cwlucas and Tyrann0s for their work on the MIXTAPE series...I am seriously looking forward to Volume 6 and its inclusion of all your guys' hard work on this.
