Music

I started dedicating time to practicing. I have always viewed myself as “not a singer”, however, I enjoy it. I recorded these for shits and giggles, but I want to kick it into high gear, and lay it down better.

As you can see these are quite old. Since these recordings, I have been focusing on timing, and trying to polish up my presentation. I am getting ready to record a few more soon, so check back!

During the Thanksgiving week, my son was down for a visit. While we has down, we were messing with recording – this is some of that audio.

My neighbor was putting on an event, Art & Culture festival. She heard my practicing, and asked me to play. I can’t believe I said yes at the time, but I did. I felt I was incredibly rusty, and could not pull off a “set” even if it was just for the families of the area.

I got up to perform, and I just had an idea of the songs I was going to play – I had no backup, no beat, and no one else. While playing (some Santana if I recall) my amp kept kicking off the overdrive. My amp was dying. I don’t know if it was from cranking it too much, or the Honda generator, but it really screwed me up. I was prepared for standing in front of people, although it was a bigger crowd than I thought it would be. I was NOT prepared for equipment failure.

The only thing that still worked was the amp on clean, and the looper pedal, so I played a blues song.
