The lamb of my porch.I bought a new CD today. I know, irresponsible for me, a person to be unemployed in under a week. The CD was just released and is some of the earliest recordings of Townes Van Zandt called In The Beginning (click on the link and buy the CD, if you want to help a brotha out). I was so taken with song number seven that I immediately began working on my own version. Here it is in all of it’s glory. Again, unfinished. I can hear all sorts of textures in the background and drums kicking in with the big “Wizard of Oz” moment. Let me know what you think. When Your Dream Lovers Die (MP3,...
My creativity seems to go in cycles. Those who don’t know, I design web sites by day and play music and write by night. If you have missed me writing by absurdities here lately, it’s because the writerly muse has at least partially vacated me. However, music has been a little easier as of late. Here’s a new song, not finished, just the first crack… but I thought I would put out here anyway. Hopefully I will continue to work on it and you guys can watch the evolution. feel free to comment or send licks as you see fit. Here’s the link: Charlotte (MP3, 3.4MB) Cheers,...
The Hillary Step.I’ve been opening up my head. In a way like surgery and not like freeing your mind. I am rewiring this sonofabitch. It only seems to get me into trouble. Repatched and rewired, I have taken the plug out of the socket 15 times in 7 days and finally it seems to be purring along like a window cat. I took out the low frequencies and added an oscillator that seems to be the right frequency to keep me from convulsions. It was good while it lasted, but sooner or later the waves collided and cancelled and I fell off the wagon and under the truck tires of the lorrie driven by the Amish man with black hat and beard and his three boys, two girls and wife in a bonnet. Sooner or later you decide that you have to live, I suppose – either that or the other option and at that point you can’t write a thing anymore – and upon making that decision there’s a moment of clarity. This is my announcement that I am not your biggest fan. I know it sounds strange, but the truth of the matter is that I have been sliding for the past couple of months. If I made it there without you I would feel as odd as toothpaste on a cracker. I guess it really makes no difference the other way around. All the luck in the world to you. My rates just went up. I’ll hear it on the radio when you get there. Watch it at the Hillary step. There’s been many to lose...
