Another life event

2011-07-09T10:51:00.000-07:00

Box.net started a new mp3 player and now the old one isn't supported. You can still download mp3's from the old links and I encourage you to do so. Future songs will be posted with a player so you can stream the songs.

However, we have a baby due around here at the end of the summer, and I have to get cracking on some other things before that happens. So I may get a new song or two out before then, but the ol' blog is on hiatus until things die down.

Words had to be borrowed. These words...I dunno.

Update: something changed at box.net. I'll try to get the other links working.

A cleaner version of this song. That's it for the thing. No more except if and when I get a band.

This was a short-lived project that never even got to play for anyone save ourselves. We were getting there on this version of (DQE's) Grace Braun's version of the old song "Knoxville Girl"

If anyone's interested, Jassun and I are working on some new songs and working on some of the old ones too. Here's the latest.

Last week

2008-08-28T09:19:00.000-07:00

I will not have a song to post this week. I've got one almost "finished", but it lacks some key elements currently.
I'm going to Croatia for two weeks and then probably back to work for a year or so. Still, I will be working on new songs at irregular intervals.
I am in a band now and I'll be working with the salvageable parts of these songs along with others. Perhaps when we get some good recordings, I'll post them.
Hopefully, you can forgive the flaws in these sketches I've stuck up and see through to a kernel of value. (The earliest, country posts had more time into them.) I'm still not sure whether it was advisable to stick all these up in the shape they were, but it did help me to work developing ideas.

If you think because I post these that I'm entirely pleased (or necessarily finished) with them, that's not right.

I have to do this because I can't finish up the song I've been working on. I know I'm behind, okay? Just give me a little more time. I'll get the money.
Anyway, this is one of my favorites from the early songs Jess and I worked up.
