Ray Wylie Hubbard, who has taken to writing loooong and really entertaining Facebook posts, included a song suggestion in a post not too long ago. I’m a big fan of his, so I just couldn’t resist following his instructions and seeing how it came out. Here are his instruction reproduced exactly: So there you go- … [Read more…]
Yes, it’s good to be home. There is no denying that. Sleeping in my own bed is good. The dogs are happier. The cat is still grumpy, but he’s home. And I love waking up to my Lyons view every morning. But just because we are home doensn’t mean everything is rosy. Many of our … [Read more…]
So I posted the Flood Update a while back. In between finding a more stable place to spend our exile from home, talking to FEMA (I feel like I have a close personal relationship with a government agency), trying to have half a normal life (getting the kid to school, getting myself to work, helping … [Read more…]

Sessions on writing, singing, playing, the music business. Pretty cool. And, as it happens, Song School is right here in Lyons, CO the week before the Rocky Mountain … [Read more…]
Living the rock and roll dream does come with housekeeping duties. Busted a string today, so good time for a whole new set. Also a great chance to give a bit more of a clean to the guitar getting the most use right now. Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiny Uh, why does D’Adderio wind these things in twos? Really, … [Read more…]
I spent a chunk of time yesterday recording some scratch versions of songs I’m working on. They may or may not end up developing into some larger project. I’m going to post a few to Soundcloud just for fun. Here’s the first: Feel free to comment below- these are very much works in progress.
I’ve been working on some new songs, and working on some new recordings (taking some classes in both songwriting and music production right now), so life is busy but good. Adding to that was the silly frenzy of Couch by Couchwest, so that’s a full schedule. Hopefully I’ll have some new recordings to kick out … [Read more…]
