Before the show last night my friend (and director of the play) John Herman told me that we’d probably only have a few people in the audience. I knew my friend, Rick Ganley from NHPR was coming and my Uncle Mike and Aunt Beth, so that was fine. It’s kind of a relief to have …

“Whisper, Pray, Make Room” will premiere next Friday, November 26th at The Players’ Ring in Portsmouth. Inspired by Charles Dickens “Christmas Carol”, Whisper, Pray, Make Room is a dramatic one man musical presentation that tells the story of diabolical radio talk show host Steve “The Sledgehammer” King who receives 3 life altering phone calls during …
Part 2 of the Secret Music of Yesteryear! I started messing around with a 4 track when I was 19 or so (a Yamaha MT1X). I probably used it for 10 years and even though I’m pretty useless with mechanical/electrical/real items, I got to where I could fix it when it broke – replace the …
Old Music, Part 1 I wanted to put some music at the end of the The Unreliable News video, and I had just stumbled on a folder of old songs, so I put one in, kind of at random (Noonday Sun, which is the first song below). A couple people have asked about this older …
Chapter 4 of Kittery Embers will be posted tonight or tomorrow (I just have to finish up the second song). In the meantime, here’s “Butterfly with a Bloodshot Eye”, one of the new songs for Chapter 4: [audio: http://radioghost.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/ButterflyBloodshot.mp3] Quicktime or Download Lyrics: I take your heart, it’s a butterfly Too fragile for the wind …
I was hoping to be uploading the Chapter 2 audio today of “The Rule Book & Calendar of Kittery Embers“, but I got some radio work and I have to focus on that this week. But Chapter 2 is done and all I need is a few hours to record and edit and I’ll upload …
Somebody isn’t very good sync’ing audio with video. I’ll say no more. The Smoke Song Lyrics: There’s smoke in the forest Where the forest ought to be I ought to climb down this old burning tree But I’m looking out the ocean Looking out to sea But there’s smoke in the water where my boat …
This is another one I came up with while driving around. The melody feels really familiar and old timey. I don’t know if it’s some standard melody or what. Usually I don’t feel like what I’m singing is anything I’ve heard before, but this time it did. [audio: http://radioghost.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/smoke.mp3] Quicktime or Download Link Lyrics: There’s …
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 …
