Just a little ditties I recorded to try and cheer up a colleague who is feeling down. Job loss and holidays are not a good combination. Music can help heal.

Perfect stranger is the working title for this song. Sonicly based on a new blues pattern.

An hour of jamming yield just 45 seconds of “something.” A riff to hang some clothes on. We;ll try it again, bright and early but this is new type of progression fro me - full of melodic potential.
Some utter with vox, others utter with guitar.

This may be a song demo or may actually be finished. More about the vibe than technical perfection. Sometimes it is better leave the canvas while the paint is still wet.
You tell me - is it ready?
Two-seventeen or (02:17) is the title because that how long Garage Band says this guitar and drums instrumental is.

A road song for people on the move.
Yes, at last - I am back in a writing mode and am beginning to put together musical ideas for some new songs. Not sure yet if there will be an album of only children’s songs - some of the material I have been developing is more blues and electric guitar-oriented.
But there are also more lullabies in the pipeline including recordings of some favorites like Hushabye Mountain and Blackbird - songs that my daughters request at bed time almost every night.
So - it will be fun to track my take on those standards - we do them a little differently around the Montgomery house and you may enjoy hearing them, too.
So - like most projects - you enter the studio studio thinking you are going to do one thing and leave sometimes with a completely new and different thing. That’s the fun for me - I love that process.
Wish me luck and hope to be sharing new songs with you in the spring of 2008.
