My cover of a great Eagles tune Wasted Time originally from their legendary album "Hotel California" - one of the best studio experiences is trying to duplicate their incredible harmonies, especially near the end of this track - but in my case here - one voice at a time.

Wasted Time

While combing through some archives last weekend, I found this partial track I had recorded a few years back. It was part of a wave of music I made where I would throw down any bit of piano or drums just to have something to sing to. By the chorus, I just ran out of instrument time - and just sang acapella. It's snippet of music is like a page out of my diary.

"Don't Let It Show"
(originally by The Alan Parsons Project)

If it's getting harder to face everyday
Don't let it show, don't let it show
Though it's getting harder to take what they say
Just let it go
Just let it go

And if it hurts when they mention my name
Say you don't know me
And if it helps when they say I'm to blame
Say you don't own me
ooh…

Even if it's taking the easy way out
Keep it inside of you
Don't give in
Don't tell them anything
Don’t let it…
Don't let it show

Dont Let It Show - Vocal Demo

In 1995 I met Carly Simon backstage at one of her rare California appearances. That meeting was indelible in so many ways...we talked about love of music, love of our mothers - and how the love of music did not automatically mean love of performing. I wanted to do my take on her amazing song "Touched By The Sun" from her equally amazing and under-rated disc "Letters Never Sent" This was never completely finished - I wanted to recut some of my chorus vocals as they sounded too repetitive, but never had the chance. I hope you enjoy my tribute and take the opportunity to listen to her stunning original version.
