I try to find time to play in my home recording studio, but I rarely have time to put my songs out ther for my friends and family to enjoy... So, here you go. I'll try to put new ones on here as I get to them. If your computer doesn't play the song when you click on the links below, you can try right-clicking the link to save the files to your computer. Then you can play them in iTunes or Media Player, or whatever else you have on your computer that plays .mp3 files.
- The Speed of the Sound of Lonliness: a great song by John Prine that I learned when playing with John Rohloff and "The Geezers". I did all of the parts live in my little bedroom studio, .. just messing around with my Zoom R-16 multitrack recorder.
- Silent Night : Christmas 2010, used my looping pedal to overlay guitar parts (Seagull acoustic/electric guitar), and bass (Ibanez 5-string bass - thanks to good friends). Multi-track recording using Zoom R-16 recorder.
- Sheebeg-Shemore : This is a song I learned to play with Laurie Rasmussen (My step-sister) who's a "real" musician. This is the first song that I actually recorded with my new Breedlove 12-string guitar.
- Ever More - Reggae Style: This is one of the songs that our Church band "Act of Grace" does, but I re-arranged it with a Carribean twist.... We've played it this way a few times since, and people seem to like it!
- Great Are You Lord: This is somewhat of a "standard" for Church bands, but this arrangement has a bit of a jazzy twist.
- "Play Me", by Neil Diamond: I often say that Neil Diamond was a big reason I was motivated to play guitar in the first place. I pulled out one of my old Neil D. songbooks awhile ago and started recording this version.
- Jazzy Blues : This is just me having fun, noodling around on one of my guitars.
- Gm Jam : Another one of me just playing around with some Gm Blues....
- The Pulse-Sequence Blues: This song would only make sense to an NMR spectroscopist, but a few of my colleagues around the world have been enjoying it.... Lyrics co-written with my old fried Ed Ezell, now at the Eppley Cancer Institute of UNMC, Omaha, NE.
- The Molecular Orbital Blues: This is a song that we wrote years ago to aid in teaching a difficult topic in Organic Chemistry... again, obscure but fun!
More Music from the "Friday" group (aka "D-Zero") required a long time ago. Stay tuned for some new recordings soon, as we have really improved since these were recorded back in 2010.:
