about

Recorded to two-track analog. Mixed to digital. Recorded on Shamrock audio tape, which originally had German pop songs from the 60's on it. Shamrock was notorious for being a bad quality consumer recording tape. Recorded all these songs one evening in July, 2014.

When I sit down to write, I either squeeze out one great tune, or a handful of pretty good ones, at least in my estimation. A lot of the time, I end up writing a good song first, on my way to a great song. I guess it's just the way you get the pump primed. I try to finish passable songs out to their logical conclusions (bridges are the hardest part for me).

I've also got this backlog (as most songwriters do) of bits and pieces of ideas. I'd say I probably got a couple hundred of songs and song bits in various states of workability. I've also got cassettes from a long time ago that have more ideas. I've been collecting my little ideas for over twenty years.
