I have uploaded a new album, called Ten Years After. It consists of recordings from 2005 & 2006. Once again, I played all the instruments and wrote all the songs. These all have real-life drums, not the drum mosheen or midi samples. Anyway, I gave up on these recordings at the...
Well, time flies don't it... Don't it, though. Yeah, it sure don't. I have written a couple of new songs in the last few days and have recordings up of them already. These are two to three hour recordings, nothing special, but OK. New Song: Damn TV New Song: Triangle vs. Cowbe...
Thanks to Ryan Cox for having this on his MySpace profile. Les & Mary were an awesome pair.
I had a brilliant (with quotey marks in the air) idea for a series of blog posts today. I will be breaking down a song to its basest form, documented by recordings made along the way, along with lyrics changes. The latter doesn't happen very often; most of the time it is just...
I found out yesterday, near the end of the day that I actually had today off and the office was closed for New Years. Sweet. Merry New Year! I have been working this morning, transferring my blogspot account over to this locally installed and controlled WordPress script. Open...
It's funny how quickly I lose interest in the things I commit to. Not just a blog that no one will read, but a massive recording project that no one will listen to, relationships that fall from the clouds, exercise, smoking cessation... This was the first day of my vacation. I...

Another of my 'hobbies' is web authoring. I dare say 'design'. That's the part I suck at. Always function before form. I know how to do some cool little things and have spent way to much time figuring out ways of managing large amounts of data... My website, medinaline.net uti...
OK, so this is the latest in my ongoing quest to make my beautiful old Alvarez Strat copy stay in tune. It started in 1996, I purchased the Alvarez "Classic" sunburst guitar for $136 in a music shop in Greensburg, PA. I forget what the place is called. They had to custom order...
It has been a while since I successfully completed a song I was working on. Over the weekend, I tried a little experiment. I set up my drum mosheen, amp, and 8 track recorder and cut loose. I programmed a drum beat, played guitar, hit record and played some more. Stopped the r...
