For this one I did two live takes from two different perspectives and then laid down a couple voices for the chorus and a string backing. So it’s live with some post work. The clapping is to help me sync the audio (recorded on the pc) with the video (recorded on a Vado). Also I …

This is a live take of a song I’ve been working on. I don’t think it’s gonna go much further than this. It’s just kind of what it is and doesn’t need any big production. You can’t see the piano, but it’s down there below the mic… 🙂 Anyway, I didn’t really know I was …
If the Old Cowboys song had some kind of political undertone then this one comes wrapped and ready for church. Lyrics seem to get formed from the sounds that show up.

Tomorrow on Ron & Fez, it’s the “World’s Fastest Wedding” with Bill & Elizabeth set to tie the knot on air. Here are two songs to go along with it, neither one fast or even short. The first song really belongs to the Japanese band “UmiKebu”. They sent me the music a week or so …
Perry has some really good “coming back from the break” rejoiner songs. I was working on this tune and it wasn’t going anywhere and then I thought it might work like that.
