Thursday, me and the guitar and the computer and a few other things make the trip down to Medford. And then, like the Good Book says, a little while you shall not see me, and in a little while you shall see me. Gots to get the ‘puter hooked up in the new place.
Reference tracks are done (my part, anyway) for the Pineyfest Demo Derby. They are:
DEAD THINGS IN THE SHOWER (me & Bobbie Gallup):

DISTRACTION (Diane Ewing):

ALABAMA BLUES (Diane Ewing):

TEST TUBE BABY (me):

On "Test Tube Baby," the Gemster was going to try to add some magic to make it sound more rock ‘n' roll. Then I'll send the links, and lyric sheets, and agenda to Mike Dunbar in Tennessee for the studio musicians to work with. We will, I understand, have available guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, and a pedal steel player who's able to play either harmonica or clarinet/saxophone. We'll do the recording Patsy Cline style, just like me and The Band did the "Santa's Fallen" CD; this will save time and money.

WELCOME...
This blog is the outgrowth of a songwriting workshop I conducted at the 2006 "Moograss" Bluegrass Festival in Tillamook, Oregon. It presumes that after 30-odd years of writing and playing music, I might have something to contribute that others might take advantage of. If not, it may be at least a record of an entertaining journey, and a list of mistakes others may be able to avoid repeating.
This blog is intended to be updated weekly. In addition to discussions about WRITING, it will discuss PROMOTION--perhaps the biggest challenge for a writer today--as well as provide UPDATES on continuing PROJECTS, dates and venues for CONCERTS as they happen, how and where to get THE LATEST CD, the LINKS to sites where LATEST SONGS are posted, and a way to E-MAIL ME if you've a mind to.
Not all these features will show up right away. Like songwriting itself, this is a work in progress. What isn't here now will be here eventually. Thank you for your interest and your support.
