SONG TITLE |
NOTES |
|
|
|
Written about a famous winery across from Put-In-Bay on Lake Erie. Soft shimmery and unusual acoustic chords punctuated by snare and claps. Warmth and body arrives in the monk like chorus leading to a smooth satisfying finish. |
|
|
|
Remembering the good times. Co-written with my pal Steve L. A rounded lightly saturated strumming Strat surrounded by bright acoustics accents with wafting Allman-Brothers-like riffs. The complexity of the rhythm is matched by the chorus. |
|
|
|
Ballad reflecting on those warm South Florida nights. Clear and up front acoustic notes layered with echoey melodic phrasing. A pinch of maracas and a triangle provide the spice. |
|
|
|
At least 4 acoustic guitars playing in a complex and serious song. The conflict is brought to a head in the antagonist's bridge. The finish reveals the sour loneliness of the resolution. |
|
|
|
A good old Cajun stomp. Medium bodied base guitar, synth and kick notes lay under the driving rhythmic guitars, fiddle and keys. A bit of bite comes from the harmony guitar hook. |
|
|
|
A blues number getting into some nice blues riff variations. Bitting and slightly thin initial notes that smooth into a rich fullness followed by a long finish. |
|
|
|
About the famous beach bar in Ft. Lauderdale. You gotta go. Right from the top, the up-tempo beat is established. Hints of harmonica give a little mid range edge while the silky smooth reverberated electric riffs wafting throughout tie the whole thing together. The urgency of the chorus implies that time is of the essence. |
|
|
|
I have relationship issues. Starting gently with contented acoustic notes and a 12-string, that slowly boils over into exasperated electric guitars and pounding drums. The intervening washy keyboard plays behind the soothing solo in the last effort to bring the ingredients together. |
|
|
|
Getting a little wah wah work done. Ever so slightly off tempo, the hinted reggae accompaniment contrasts the acoustic rhythm while each of the three guitar solos builds apprehension for the next with increasing saturation and sustain. |
|
|
|
A relaxing little medley of slow cooks acoustic guitars laced with an ethereal riff. Malty harmonies balance out the hoppy lead vocal. |
|
|
|
Instrumental music from the 1800s. Not really rock, more like marching-rock. Wonderfully saturated Strats lashing away under a driving rhythm with kettle drum accents in a no-nonsense delivery. |
|
|
|
Old march songs are a lot of fun to play. Bouncy warm overdriven notes with complimentary acoustic accents flavored with an iota of slow cooked flanginess. The hook could be the Strats or the acoustics, depending on you preference. |
|
|
|
Soft dyadic notes provide the main ingredient for the evolving musical aromas that are gently released as the brew slowly warms. |
|
|
|
The marching melody of the Black and White Regiment from the 1800s. Cutting electric phrasing in a creamy rhythmic reduction highlighted with crispy acoustic stylings tailing off into a full bodied finish. |
|
|
|
Originally the "Koniggratzer Marsch" which celebrated the victory of Prussia over the Austrian Empire in 1866. Thick bass and guitars with a stomping beat finishing with a satisfying crescendo of high harmonies. |
|
|
|
A song for a time to remember. As it ages, the complexity of the dark and rich ingredients are revealed in this mature offering. |
