Fresh Pure Air - Special Cecilia & Steve Whitfield & OMCB

Hendrik @cosmic-ratzzz sent me this progression to see what I could do with it.. I added rhythm guitar & vocals to his bass, drums & a killer slide guitar solo. "Sister Sadie" is the title of the instrumental version with Florian Luthi & Joerxworx and was the inspiration for my lyrics. Hope you enjoy our "Sister Sadie Blues".

Hendrik @cosmic-ratzzz asked for my rhythm trax from Cecilia's "Fresh Pure Air" @specialvocals  a tune he had collaborated on with me. I though he would do an instrumental version, and he did add some great instrumentation, but he had an ace up his sleeve in the form of Mz Emily Coy @freevocals 
We hope you enjoy this mash-up remix "The Madness"

I especially enjoyed playing this Spencer Perskin tune with Shiva's.
We did it in an Eastern European Gypsy Reggae Rock Style, appearing in it's original form on Classics Volume 1, complete with vocals in a more upbeat tempo.
 I play all the parts hear, with a little help from the echo box.

Time to Chill w/ The Weighty Tree

HELLO MY FRIENDS!  
I recommend navigating this large, chaotic cloud by tracks or playlists.
I am a Drummer/Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist/Producer. I've played in various types of bands over the years, Rock, Folk, Irish, Reggae, Jazz, Funk, Country, and Avant Garde. I'm best known for playing drums through multiple re-incarnations of Shiva's Headband, the eclectic, legendary psychedelic era band from Austin. One of my songs appears on "In the Primo of Life", and I co-wrote "Roots Rock Station" with Spencer Perskin, which first appeared on "Remember The Armadillo" and was re-released on "The Temple of Rock N Roll". I also co-produced the CD, "So You Don't Go Barefoot", by Sue Perskin of Shiva's. This cloud focuses on my songwriting. Credit is given to any and all musicians involved. Otherwise everything you hear I've done myself.
