I Can't Stand My Own Mind Part 3

Original Song
-------------------
I had a dream we were flying to a foreign land
You held a diamond secure in the palm of your hand
The web of the world seemed dissolved in the warmth of its shine
Spiraling staircases spun in the middle of my mind

Don't let me wake up can't you see I'm flying?
Don't let me wake up: the worlds alright without me

This one pushes the meager limits of the Spire Studio which I presently use for these "practice tracks". That sound you might not be able to identify on the descending chord progression in the middle and at the end is a four-hole Mexican ocarina in the shape of turtle ;-)

Don't Let Me Wake Up

A short, simple, solemn piece played on classical guitar.

Remembrance

For a short while I played with two dear departed friends in a group we called the Quantum Cats. This is a beautiful and simple song from Eric Butz (tragic sufferer of Werner's Syndrome) whose raspy voice is heard here along with the late great John Gorozdos on banjo. A real rarity from me playing harmonica on this track.  Recorded live by Edward Bradshaw (USCG) on his reel-to-reel in 1995.

Basement Session - January 1995

Here's to the Miles - by the Quantum Cats

A spontaneous arrangement all done live to Spire Home studio - like all the recent ("non-album") tracks here:
- Roland Hand-Sonic percussion and tuned percussion (live, no rolls)
- Electric guitar w/ Whammy harmonizer 3rd
- Electric guitar w/ Whammy lowered one octave
- Twelve-string guitar capo at 9th fret w/ digital delay
- Kurzweil K2000 (two different sounds)

Journey To An Alien World Part 1:  Lift Off

A tasty little sound-bite to demonstrate some of the great standard sounds available on the vintage Kurzweil K2000 keyboard.

Improv Kurzweil K2000 One Minute Etude

Contemplations of the Drunk Zeno

An improvisation using some nice synth string sounds. This gets rather abstract.
