  • Spent

    Spent

    If you’re a creative, have you ever felt spent after a project? Almost like leaving the gym or sharing a memorable orgasm. Yes, I said sharing, because we are courteous in my tribe. Back in the day, writing stories did that to me. My wolf story “Nemesis” is one that sticks out. I had trouble…

    Song Creepin’

    It fell in my lap like a ton of feathers (still heavy AF; less damage to the crotch). The lyrics are fun but the tune is basic. I’ve sent it to what I consider a real musician for some tweaking. Maybe I’ll record it later to get it out into the universe. What a ride.

  • A Great Day For Music

    A Great Day For Music

    Overcast, rainy, dreary… Perfect for music. I’ve played this one several times before, but never like this. I hope you enjoy it.

  • Alive. It’s a feeling, I guess.

    There are few times in my life when I’ve encountered a situation that allows me to lose control. I’m an overthinker by trade, obviously. The music thing is beginning to happen, and it feels wonderful. I know it feels wonderful because not much does, or has. Like horror stories about music? You should check out…

  • A Song For Sam

    A Song For Sam

    I wrote this song about a year and a half ago before things were too crazy in this country, politically, and I promised my wife that the world would have to get through me in order to ever get to her. So, of course, I wrote a song about it. It’s kinda what I do.

    Productive day!

    Came up with a first verse and chorus to an original blues song. Now I’m on pins and needles for that aha moment to arrive. Rhythm riff. Right now, I got nothin’. Happy hump day! Now, go forth and hump ❤️

  • City-cide

    City-cide

    I’ve been playing melancholy acoustic versions of this song like I owe someone an apology. Honestly, it’s about my paternal grandmother. Anyway, this was the first time I did it in a recording where I didn’t mess it up that bad. Now? Practice, practice, practice, and mess with equalization. Thanks for watching, regardless of what…

  • Letting Go

    Letting Go

    Holy dammit, Batman. I started the morning off strumming around on the Hummingbird, then I decided to pick which of my newest original songs I’d work on next. The title track (if I ever decide to produce this album) “Citi-cide.” For a year, I’ve practiced and performed this song live as more of a melancholy…

    Anyone ever pull a groin muscle from stomping on an overdrive pedal? Do I need to start stretching before playing?

  • Newest Recording of “Away”

    I keep jumping back and forth between the electric and acoustic versions of this. I even have one where I hit an overdrive pedal in the solo. I don’t want to take my Les Paul to open mic, because most guitar players are douchey to strangers. I can’t help it if I like nice things.…

  • Get this song out of my head!

    I remember all of those patriotic country songs that were released after 9/11. Now, all of those songs sound fantastical. Anyway, here’s a Brook’s & Dunn cover I think will be a HIT!

    Anchored In You

    I just felt like making a little music this morning. It was a nice, chill weekend with the wife watching the world burn. This song makes me think of her when she’s away. So, here ya go, Sam. This one’s for you, boo. This is a Shawn Mullins song from his album Soul’s Core.
