I have completed a new song today which I will probably not distribute for at least a year.  The timeline varies but this has been my average gestation period.

I will use this song journal under the category "simmering" to…

“The Payback” by James Brown:
I can see where Prince took some of his guitar playing inspiration from. I like that guitar rhythm that accompanies that bass and drum groove. Of course that signature James Brown vocals lifts up what…

“On the Run” by Lake:  This feels familiar.  Progressive goodness….with the thump of the deep bass and kick make the chest thud and commanding attention. Some sweet riffing. I was settling in expecting this to be a 9 minute jam…

Hello,

WildGood (the band I perform with) will be at the Port of Leonard Town Winery tonight Friday 6 Rocktober 2023. Come on out, it will be fun. It is outside; sip some fine wine, relax and enjoy the WildGood…

“Only a Lad” by Oingo Boingo: Fast and frenzied…lots of 16th notes and a sporty tempo. A combination of XTC, Devo and Talking Heads. Fresh, like a splash of water on the face. Fun. Danny Elfman spreading around some of…

Sunny Came Home: Shawn Colvin

This is such a well produced song.  The acoustic instruments, slow almost "happy" chords set against such somber, fiery lyrics really work well together.

Jailbait Song by Motörhead:  May have hit the spot for me…

  Wow, I remember this classic album from David Husted called Captured Fragments!!! It was released way back in August of 2023.  That was a good year and that album was a big part of the reason why……it kicked ass!!  I…
