Music #4. Blue Eyes #2. ...like the ocean, I've struggled with it for years.

Notes on the Blue Eyes Slideshow Video 

I remember being afraid of the water.  But I think most people initially are.  And then the day arrives where you just “Jump in with both feet”.  Next thing you know, you’re swimming.

Music #5. The Old Family Home & A Dusty Valentine

The Old Family Home.  This song came out of nowhere.  Or did it?  Maybe it was always there, just like the old family home itself.  Just didn't appear till the time came to say goodbye.  Sometimes, I guess, that's just…

Gear Geeks #4. "The Red Ramblers". Tone. Timing. Attitude. & How The Master-Volume Amplifier Almost Killed Rock 'n Roll.

Gear Geeks #2. Fender-Japan. Limited Edition FSR 54 Strat.

Here it is, rock'n the stage...

Music #3. Blue Eyes #1. Revisiting a Riff. For Better Or For Worse.

December 2019.  Tonight we tracked piano and vocals on another previously written, but somewhat misguided, song.  This song started life as a break-up song.  A few years ago.  We tracked it at Perks Place.  I pitched it to the band…
