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.

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 …

When I first met Lois I was playing guitar and singing with a kind of high tenor voice. When I started doing songs with piano, I flipped my Leonard Cohen coin and started singing in the gutter range. Lois doesn’t dislike the gutter voice too much, but she often says that she wishes I’d sing …
Every month or so over Waterville Mountain, we see fireworks just above the trees. Why oh why? It’s a mystery! On Sunday night, during our little walk around the neighborhood, we saw them again. We stopped to watch and then decided to head into the dark woods for a better view. Bushwacking through snow and …
We live near a really nice forest. There’s a long path that leads out into various nowheres. And there’s a huge sandpits that we walk to in the summer. In the winter, it’s for sledding. Sherwin did a quick improv piano song. I’m wearing the orange vest thing cause it’s hunting season.
