Thank you so very much for listening. The tracks here are fairly diverse: different genres and arrangements... which is a point of pride. I've tried to be loose and precise, to be ragged but refined; I've tried to innovate and be a skilled musical craftsman; I've tried to take my Bowie classes and my Miles classes and my Iggy classes, you know... In most (not all) cases, I have no producer or engineer or anyone else really, making it very difficult to progress these Pro-Tools pieces beyond the DEMO stage - so please forgive the comparatively sub-standard audio if you can. My mixes are getting better and better, but you don't know how truly skilled these engineering wizards are until you've tried it your own damn self. But I enjoy the process so much - ever since my first TASCAM 4-track cassette recorder in, say, 1983... So cool, so cool. I'm happy to say, however, that at some point along the way I stopped being an imitator... and embraced the crazy rough diamond that is my racing musical heart.

 

I still cannot get enough of the electric guitar.
