I've got me a guitar player ! This is way better than being always alone with Band In A Box. It's more human. Caz Cazorla is the guitar player's name. His real first name is Jean-Michel, but I told him with such a name he wouldn't go…
One of my favorite tunes!

I posted that electronic stuff and now Dana posted this. Then I thought that would be cool if others just played…
This is me and my daughter having fun with overdubs. We each sang 2 or 3 times on top of each other to get the chorus effect that you hear. I think back to the days where I used to have a couple of cassette decks and a mixer to do…
This shows the leg frame that I've put on my personal instrument. You'll notice that there are no casters and a lighter-weight leg frame than the piper vibe. I changed my Piper vibe over to this so that I didn't have that extra weight,…
I am by no means a composer but I have decided that I should start getting into composing a little more. This is a run through of a tune I am working on. I would really be interested in hearing your feedback before I try to finalize my…
