I definitely need to look at using Pro Tools. I think I will make a switch down the line. For now I am using an old version of GarageBand on a 2010 MB Pro and that’s what I used to release my only solo album last summer. There are still controls and settings in the mastering area that I have started to get down, so that’s why I haven’t made the change just yet.

Yeah, I have the basic Pro Tools and you'll get the hang out of it very quickly. Just need to wait until I get a new computer to re-install it. You're welcome to try it out if you want, man.

I recorded a little bit yesterday....just some improv ideas on my iPhone. I think I may release another EP & will let y'all know if I do!

So, I sent a couple songs off to a drummer in California. All I can say at the moment is that the drummer has a connection to PJ. Once the songs are complete I'll share them and tell the full story. I'm excited

Richard Stuverud just laid down drums on two of my songs this past Sunday and I should get the files back tomorrow. Cannot wait to hear the results.

This is nuts! I DMd him on Instagram a few months back and asked if he would do that for me. No reply. How’d you manage it!?

We became friends during the pandemic when I reviewed one of his albums and we both played a virtual charity gig and he offered to help drum on some of my songs so I accepted. They turned out great but I have to finish tracking vocals and mixing and mastering. Just so glad to final have drums on these songs I've had for over 20 years and for him to be the drummer is just icing on the top. I'll be sure to post them here once they're done. Might be able to post instrumental versions soon.

No problem. I added a scratch vocal take a few nights ago. It's coming together nicely. Just need to fine tune it some more. Let me know what you think.

Nice groove! Are you going to have someone pro mix and master for you?

Yeah once I have the funds. I'm in the process of moving do will probably be "done" early 2024.

Saw he gave you a shout out on Instagram yesterday! So cool!

My friend @mfc2006 and I have finalized our track list for our 4th album. It's been a long, long saga, but we have like 1-2 songs that are left to green light and we move onto sequencing, art and release! I can't wait to share these songs with you all. We're both ready to get back to writing new stuff and carrying onwards!

Thanks. Yeah I will hopefully have 4 or so songs done by the end of the year or early 2024 that can be released as an EP. I'd be happy with that timeline.

Here's a shitty webcam recording of me doing a Tony Rice song. Been playing music in public (instead of just my bedroom) recently, and boy is it refreshing.

Made some edits-

mfc2006

This is the latest installment of writing songs in one sitting and releasing them right away - without edits. I recorded this album on Friday, Novemnber 3, 2023. Just like the other EP's, it opens with a song on the ukulele (without vocals...except from our daughter) & the rest are on the acoustic.

I recorded all songs by using my voice memos app on my phone and uploaded them here without edits. Some may show up again down the road being reworked or rerecorded. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much I enjoyed writing and recording it.

Thanks man! Most days I get just a little better, which adds up (hopefully).

Hope you all enjoy another spontaneous EP that I wrote and recorded today (12/8/23)! Again, I write all lyrics after coming up with the music/chords. Then I write lyrics...after a quick dry run, I hit record. No overdubs. rewrites or fillers. It's called Link. Happy Friday!
