Here we go. You'll find the songs sampled on this page have been worked up using some basic recording equipment- Sony's Acid Music Record Studio (includes any drum loops and effects used), an M-Audio Fast Track input unit, an old Shure microphone, and (musically) one of 4 guitars- an old Strat-copy electric, my Washburn electric, my Yamaha acoustic and my Oscar Schmidt acoustic-electric. Oh, yeah- and my old Acer laptop and- more recently- my Surface Pro. The rest- for better, or worse- is all me, "warts and all". But these samples are some where I'm pleased with the overall production, amateur though it may be.
The songs have been worked up over time, with some being current items (2009 to the present "vintage") and some going back a few years. And some I'll be including are from a 2004 unreleased demo disk that had some input musically from Brian Clark of "Not In Service" (Winnipeg, MB). It was more bare-bones, but was a lot of fun. And if you want to explore more of my musical meanderings, check out the Archives page.
Also (and straight-up on this) my expertise at songwriting is all from a learning curve of spending time with good friends who can play circles around me, but were extremely helpful when it came down to different aspects of composition, chord structure, time-signatures, tempo, and even what works- and what doesn't work- musically. I do not read or write musical notation, but have found I can still create something musically that makes sense- and I'm always working the writing process to find a way to express themes/ideas/experiences that mean something to me, and hopefully have value to others as well. Stay tuned, and some of what comes out of the process will wind up here, or in the Archives- sooner, or later.
