Oh What a Savior (demo)

April 21, 2024

I wrote the first verse of this a couple of weeks back. I tinkered and toyed with it here and there as time allowed. Finally, this afternoon, I worked on it until it became what you hear in this video. I hope you like it.

Amazing Grace

March 25, 2024

This is a small test drive of a Gretsch 9220 Resonator guitar with all mahogany body. Though it has a mic pickup, I mic’d it with a Shure SM-57. I am no sound engineer, but I felt like this simple recording came out nicely. I hope you enjoy this short demo.

Chasing Rainbows

March 24, 2024

Chasing Rainbows is an upbeat guitar instrumental recorded at home using a Guild mahogany guitar in front of a Shure 57 mic. I shot the photographs in Breckinridge County, Kentucky.

Until The Last Heartbeat

February 4, 2024

This guitar instrumental was recorded at my home. The rhythm guitar used was a Taylor 110e and the lead guitar used was an Epiphone PR5E/N Nylon stringed guitar. I used a Fernandez bass for the bass track. I dedicate this to my wife. I will continue to love you and cherish you until the last heartbeat…

Christmas Melody

December 24, 2023

Merry Christmas!!! I was scheduled to share the following arrangement this morning at church. I woke up with the sinus crud and won’t be there. This was recorded earlier in the week during a practice session. I pray your Christmas is filled with the love of family and friends. Whether you have sweet memories from the past, or not, may there be time now to make new memories with those around you.

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˜€

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.

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!!!
