Jingle Bells 2006

From the Joe Amoury/Dean Christesen Christmas song day in 2006. Starts out as Silent Night then ends with Joe doing a guitar freakout on "Oh Holy Night" with some weird free jazz odyssey stuff in the middle. It sounds like I played bass on this one (poorly).

Kiss from a Rose solo mandolin

I was some instruments being slightly behind the beat, especially when multitracking the claps. I think latency issues aren't something to fear and they bring a laid back quality to multi-tracked music.

Frame

Music in various states of completion: demos, ideas, bachelor party sessions, and dug-up ditties from old computer hard drives. I spend most of my time teaching elementary school and playing in a wedding band so pardon the lack of updates in the last few years.
