Autumn Calls

October 21, 2023

A slight chill eases into the evening air. Leaves drift sharing their color all around while evenings fill with the crackling of old wood in the fire-pit. This short acoustic guitar track was something I noodled today that made me think of Autumn. Lucas our Labrador makes his first music debut in the early seconds of the track. I hope you like. šŸ˜€

1978

October 5, 2023

This is a guitar demo using a 1978 Ibanez PF100 (shown in the photo) plugged into a Korg G3 processor. I had fun laying down the bass and guitar tracks. I hope you like!!!

Software I Use

August 1, 2023

In an era not so far away I once purchased and used expensive software to edit images and build web site animations. I am looking at you Adobe Photoshop and Macromedia Flash. I bought updates over the years excited to get some new feature that promised to wow my customers and make my life easier and building output faster. I was hooked until the subscription service model became the standard. I didn’t like buying use of something I would technically never own.

You Got This (demo).

July 7, 2023

Sometimes it seems we are given more challenges in life than others. We often wonder why? Somedays I think we need to be encouraged to keep on keeping on. Ā Don’t you give up! Don’t surrender! You’re a fighter, a strong contender! You got this! You’re gonna overcome!!! I wrote this for my friend Matt who now lives in Indiana! You got this! You’re gonna overcome!

Done with You.

July 6, 2023

A while back I heard someone use the phrase ā€œI’m done with youā€ in a playful sense. Recorded at home without a lot of dazzle, here’s my take on that phrase.

Kentucky Landscapes

July 4, 2023

" Recently my wife and I drove to Northwestern Kentucky to help our son-in-law and youngest daughter get unpacked and settled into their new home. Between some of the unboxing and furniture moving I captured these frames using my little iPhone (SE2 model). Though I think these frames are nice, I wish I had taken my Nikon D-70 to see what I could have captured with it. " " Over the span of a few days we experienced heavy afternoon rains, some large sized hail, and saw some beautiful clouds driven by fervent winds.

Martha Jane.

June 25, 2023

Over the years in our home I made up silly songs about various subjects. One day a few years ago, I started calling my wife Martha Jane teasingly. The little rhyme — “Martha Jane, dancin’ in the pourin’ rain” came into being. This silly song makes me smile. I hope you enjoy it too!!!

Merry Christmas 2022

December 24, 2022

Merry Christmas & all the best to you and your family! It has been quite an interesting year. While I have largely been silent here on the blog, and on social media, I’ve been busy on a number of fronts. I plan to share more in the new year. For now enjoy your time with those around you. Wayne

Some Random Photo Works

March 20, 2022

The last time I checked I had more than 40,000 frames stored that I had taken using my Nikon D70. I have been occasionally going through them and sharing them on my Facebook and Instagram accounts. As you can see below I really have a thing for landscapes! šŸ˜€ There are some other subjects in the mix too. Above: Over The Hill, taken in Gatlinburg, Tennessee on a weekend trip with my wife.
