I’ve spent the better part of a week hiding in the Santa Cruz mountains, poking my head out periodically to actually do some real work in downtown Santa Cruz. All that, and yet I’ve managed to eke something out and STILL look sexy. How do I do it? I dunno. Anyhoo, I decided to call [...]
This is my attempt to dig down into my R&B/Hip Hop roots. (Yeah, a white boy can have Hip Hop roots!) I was kinda using Dr. Dre’s slow jam beats as inspiration. How’d I do?
This is for Les Paul. It was improvised and recorded in one pass. Sure, there are plenty of “mistakes” in there… but I think that’s the whole point.
This week, I decided to try something different.

It’s late. I’m tired. But… I had to get this down before I passed out on the couch and forgot how to play it. ‘Night.
I was on vacation all last week, hiding out in the beautiful mountains outside of Boulder Creek, CA (near Santa Cruz and San Jose). Needless to say, between training, playing with kids, and generally not doing much of anything, I sloughed off on the music-making. Today, while upgrading my MacBook, I decided to play around [...]
This week’s sketch is called “Chunk” because I literally just threw the word up. Brain vomit, if you will. I’m afraid it’s a bit Nirvana-sounding for my tastes, but I’ll live with that. I may revisit this one later… add lyrics, re-record it. Who knows?
