It Don't Matter Who's First In Line
My golly, it's been years since I posted here! Shame on me. I miss the MeMu community. I recently released an album of kids' music, and thought I'd share a tune here. It's a classroom song about that age-old problem: cutting in line. [more inside]
Kicking up the Dust (original)
Acoustic folk heartbreak. [more inside]
Under Maple Tree
Manouche acoustic guitar, 4/4 club backbeat and quick story of opposites attracting. [more inside]
Walking Blues
Another from the session that I posted about several days ago. [more inside]
Bad Romance & Pisgah
For Valentine's Day, 2012, a ragtime arrangement of two unlikely bedfellows: Lady Gaga's Bad Romance and the 1817 JC Lowry tune Pisgah (58 in The Sacred Harp). [more inside]
Auld Lang Syne, ragtime fingerstyle arrangement
It's been five years since my last attempt at arranging Auld Lang Syne. I thought I might try to start a small fire under it this year. [more inside]
Way Down in the Hole
After seeing the Muppet Movie this weekend, I was reminded of a project I led back in '08 called Doctor Teeth. This Tom Waits arrangement is one of a few recordings we made, despite having never played a show. [more inside]
A Little Afternoon Geetar Pickin'
Just a little thing to keep my Mojo lighted up. (Probably just good enough for sharing.)
Boots Of Spanish Leather
Another "get me out of this musical funk" cover. The more I hear Dylan sing this, the more I think this may be his most beautiful song. Here's my try. [more inside]
Summertime Blues
In Honor of the Season. . .
My Heart Will Give You Up
The third and final installment of my 2009 Valentine's day project. Celine Dion + Rick Astley, as if the internet needed another rickroll. [more inside]
Saint V. Massacree
Guitar Rag, with banjo. [more inside]
Crazy
A relaxed, front-porch take on the Gnarls Barkley original. [more inside]
Oh! Susanna
Classical banjo and fingerstyle guitar arrangement of the Stephen Foster tune. [more inside]
Sunday Front Porch
Early morning front porch music... [more inside]
Hard Times Come Again No More
Just installed new strings and set up my new 3-mic stand; I figured I'd test drive 'em both. [more inside]
cgcgce
Another fingerstyle tune from the cassette time capsule. This one was recorded on a six-string with my friends backing me up on cello and percussion.
I miss my old 12-string
A fingerpicking tune I four-tracked way back when (1990). [more inside]
So Does Everybody Else, Only Not So Much
Adaptation (more or less) of an Ogden Nash poem of the same name. Essentially an apology from an aging man who spends his time boring people with the same stories.
Blessed Every Day
I was fooling around with a dropped "D" and found this little thing there. Ended up writing some kind of lyrics and sang a little bit. Enjoy!
Night Terrors
Written to satisfy both a Songfight challenge and the mefi music challenge. Who says you can't spook two horses with one chestnut? Featuring three buttons on my accordion.
Take this Hammer
Cover of a Leadbelly tune. [more inside]
Beat Guitar (or, Rags to Rags)
Raw bedroom recording of a song that will eventually end up on an album. Lyrics inside. [more inside]
Picking, Humming and Whistling
This is practice based on what I've learned about recording here on MuFi. Please comment on my recording skill or lack of. Regarding compression and mic "liveness": am I getting there?
Glass Eye
Off the album released in January, here's a blues written almost two years ago featuring Colin Keller on the Drums.
