Don't Let It Bring You Down

The Beatles classic recorded a long time ago just for my amusement, 1988.

You've Got To Hide Your Love Away

This is a new piece. Just wrote it this past week. It's far from finished. Needs a bridge and lyrics. I'm calling it "Something New" for now and tentatively want it to be about people realizing that the current paradigm that is in power, not just in this country but in the world, needs a change, something new. Something that is sustainable and fair for everybody, not just the elite few. We need to shake up the status quo and hold the untouchable few responsible for squandering our wealth and greatness as a race. Then find righteous few, like our founding fathers, and govern in a way that will make sure that all people can provide for themselves, without government placing immoral burdens in the path of anyone willing to dream and work hard at what they want to do.

Wow, heavy burden for just a song, hope I can do it.

Something New - DEMO

Something else, new, wrote it today. This exists only so I don't forget it and I can write the words and any other parts that I come up with at any other time.

Long Gone Road-DEMO

This month I have been diagnosed with Atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response. My heart is beating too fast and so far nothing has solved the problem, it can kill me. For a while now I have felt like i was reaching my expiration date, in fact in May I had a feeling this might be my last summer. I started listening to George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass", I love the song and the whole album. At the time it seemed an appropriate song to record acoustically, so I did. It's rare that I can do a live recording in one take but that's what happened. It could be done better but "c'est la vie". I'm still here now but I feel it is fitting that should I die this be the last thing I record even though I've been working with my new band on 12 new songs I'd like to finish before the end.

All Things Must Pass

This month I have been diagnosed with Atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response. My heart is beating too fast and so far nothing has solved the problem, it can kill me.

2020 April
Well here we are, it's 2020, my heart problems have been corrected for now, I've lost my voice for the last year, don't know why yet, global pandemic, world imploding, people and governments becoming real fucked up, ejected the useless anchor formally known as "wife", now known as TV (Toxic Vagina) to me and all my friends I don't get to see my son as much as I'd like and the Asian SARS virus has interrupted that for the foreseeable future. So, I now choose to view my recording of this song as a realization that all this garbage will also pass on to better times and people, fore if I did anything less I would probably "Take The Hard Road"!

Acoustic

A new piece that has been ringing in my head for some time. Took out my Squire Stagemaster with the 2 raw meat stock Humbuckers. I set the amp to bleed and transposed the riff from my memory and then added some cords I had for another possible piece. Changed the tempo and added the bridge/chorus section. Now I gotta write some words. This demo is inspired by The Runaways, I just saw the movie, and Sweet.

The Runaway (DEMO)

Recorded live in 1984 with my then first real band, The Critics. This is an early example of my pop side. Like any song I could do it much better, but we were young then and there is a charm to the innocent times.
