Paradigm Shifting (song of the day)

What a great Thanksgiving with the family it was.  We cleaned out the attic a little bit, remembered the past and moved ourselves solidly into the future with a little less baggage.  Time for a new paradigm shift.  This used to be my favorite song to play back in the Parakeet Nelson days.  This recording … Continue reading »

Sugary Jive *song of the day

It’s definitely moving towards fall.   I’m ready, especially since I spend a small portion of the week in attics measuring them for spray foam insulation. Sugary Jive is a fall type song.  I actually paid for radio promotion for this song when it came out on my Parakeet Nelson “Risky Biscuits” album.  It got … Continue reading »

Easy Breezy (song of the day)

“It’s as easy as you want to make it.”  Words I need to do a better job at living by.  This song is in the style of The Sea and Cake, one of my all time favorite bands.  Thanks for listening!

Leave it to my Furry Friends

My cat Ms. Pac Man died this weekend after thirteen years of love and sagatious hunting campaigns.  Even though she’s lived with my parents for about five years, I’ll miss her a lot.   This is a song I made about my animals last year.      Lyrics

I Can’t Summarize Your Sunny Skies

Here’s a nice jazzy love song for Saturday.  Check out the flugelhorn solo half way through by my brilliant Hawaiian love guru friend Mike Elam.

Linville Caverns

I heard this song on my computer yesterday and realized is probably the best thing I’ve ever done instrumentally.   Check out the spot about halfway through the song when we slow it down and John Kell and I intertwine sax and guitar solos.  I played all the solos with my fingers to give the … Continue reading »

The Sweetest Thing is Everything

Happy Friday.   Hopefully we’ll get some decent weather this weekend.   Today’s song might be my favorite from ’365 Songs’.   Any song with keyboard french horns in it tends to do that for me.  This one is real simple but it’s got a really sunny vibe.  Thanks for listening!

I Need Children to Feed to my Alien

Today’s song from the ‘Risky Biscuits’ album marks one of the funnest times in my life collaborating with a ton of musicians and friends in Athens.  When this song was recorded, I played guitar for the first time in six months (with help from a physical therapy tool).  I had severely broken my arm on … Continue reading »

I Can’t Summarize Your Sunny Skies

I figured I post a sunny day song today.  Maybe that will make the ice melt.  I’m in sales and the jobs I’ve sold can’t get done when the trucks are sitting still.  This one comes from my ‘Risky Biscuits’ album and features great flugelhorn by Mike Elam.  It also had a memorable backing vocal … Continue reading »

Dead Man’s Suit.

Moving to a new place and throwing out old stuff.  I’ve been wearing a dead man’s suit for too long.  I guess it’s time to get some new clothes.  This has all been a metaphor.  Kind of like today’s song from my album of the same. Buy this mp3 on CDBaby for $.99
