I got some unexpected inspiration, combined with a sufficient amount of time with my guitar, to get a song recorded. You may notice a dog and a train – it couldn’t be helped. Please enjoy! [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Download it here!
Here is a re-recording of The Reds with our fantastic new mic. To be honest, with all of the moving and excitement around here lately, I haven’t practised much, but I’m hoping the clarity of the sound is make up for it. Enjoy!

INVISIBLE_TEXT Religion was a part of my life for a long time - comparatively to my lifespan. In fact, I thought it always would be. Then things changed, and I’m mighty pleased with my set of beliefs. INVISIBLE_TEXT I never sit down to write a song about a particular topic – if I feel like I have [...]
When do you stop hating your own creative works? I get so excited to record, but once it’s all done and up on the site, I want to take it back down. The same experience seems to plague JRD with our Flash Pulp stories. I will love the end product, but he can never be [...]
Ma jokingly told me the first song I write on my new Daisy Rock guitar should be for her. So I got down to it, much to her surprise. Mother’s Day, we were fortunately together and I got to play it for her. Admittedly, it wasn’t really ready for a listening audience, so here is [...]
Though producing Flash Pulp has been real handy with the learning curve, it’s a time consuming endeavor. It was my excuse for not posting this long while. I have been writing some, despite my lack of communication, and I’m ready to record a song tonight. I did have a moment of clarity related to this apparent [...]
These last few days have been filled with many highs and lows. We had a house guest for the weekend. A dear old friend, who has been plagued by some heavy life changes. So we had her around babies and love, and all things happy. We also had to break some news to an unwilling [...]
I didn’t know what to expect from today’s practice. For some reason, after returning from the journey to the neighbour’s farm, bringing back their playful Jack Russell, Apner, my hands were swollen, tight, and numb. I had also taken a motion sickness pill that left my brain heavy and tired. The strangest thing happened though, my [...]
I’ve been pleased with the amount of practicing I’ve been able to do, unfortunately I haven’t been able to come up with anything special. I have, however, been up to a more fruitful project: producing the first episode of JRD’s Flash Pulp series “Mulligan Smith And The Runner”. Taking sections of desired musical flavour, I [...]
I’m craving to write something new. My most creatively open moments are in the afternoon, I find. Baby’s nap time should really be dedicated to writing and practicing. I intend on doing at least one more open mic at the Live Lounge before I move on to something new. Going through what material is left after last [...]
