Growing up, I remember admiring this guy that wrote songs, played guitar and sang. He did the whole band thing and invested in synthesizers and drum machines. He fell in love, got married and became a banker or something. I remember asking him how his music was going after he got his job and he [...]
Well I finally finshed the demo of the song I started way back in 2003. I’m not gonna say too much about it, I want to hear from you the listener. What do you think? How does it make you feel? What kind of thoughts does it make you have?

Well, not too much is going on. I spent Saturday evening trying to finish a song I wrote a few years ago. I’ve got a few more parts to finish out and add that one last element that adds the “okay now it’s done” factor. I’m not quite sure what it is yet but that’s [...]
I saw this valentine yesterday and wanted to pass it on to my lovely bride:
Roses are #FF0000,
Violets are #0000FF,
All my base,
Are belong to you.
Anyway, I’ve been pursuing the music pretty hard these days. Making really rough demos of songs is progress but I had a pleasant surprise this past weekend. I took some [...]
Perception plays funny tricks on me. I don’t know why but home repair has always seemed unreachable to me. Maybe it’s fear that don’t want to screw anything up. Or maybe it’s that I’ve never taken the pretty faceplate of the light switch to see that it’s just a big hole cut in the drywall. [...]
Well I’ve got my ProTools rig set up again - I even have the cables wrapped. Just need to replace a few balanced cables that seem to be shorted out. In the meantime, I’m unbalanced. And now for something completely different…
Have you ever been invested in? I can think of several people that invested [...]
Could it be that my day has come? Could it be that I could actually sing on a recording and have it be in tune? Maybe so folks! Apple just announced their 2005 products yesterday and while the $499 Mac is the show stopper, I am most excited about GarageBand 2. Before now, any pitch [...]
Well I took the ADAT to church on Sunday and recorded the music. Except for an acoustic guitar pickup producing less than acceptable tone, a noisy bass and a lack of keys (I direct outted the wrong channel on the board), it turned out pretty good. This week we added a new band member playing [...]
Well I’ve got a new little site going live this weekend - just need to do last minute content tweeks. It is for a commercial real estate appraiser and consultant, Miller Real Estate Advisors. So if you need any of this type of work done then be sure to check out www.millerrea.com. I’m also ramping [...]
Yep it’s that time of year again. The time where I go down in the basement for Christmas decorations or whatever reason and think to myself, “What a waste of resources.” I have this perfectly good music studio that isn’t being used for two reasons. The lack of time (or motivation) and a couple of [...]
