| Short Project-D video. |
| 2008-07-12 22:54:09 |
I came across Animoto via Facebook. If you like to do video stuff, it’s a pretty painless way to come up with more than just your standard slideshow. The 30 second videos are free, you have to pay $3.00 for the full length ones, which is reasonable, but that means you won’t see a [...]...

| 2008-05-29 18:53:12 |
This is from one of those big beef knuckle bones which she loves. When she gets them separated, this is what happens when she tries to get all the marrow out. It happened once before, which I thought was a fluke, apparently not though. It had to be cut off. Here’s a tip, use a [...]...

| David Cook vs. The Who |
| 2008-05-07 20:35:12 |
Cook is my favorite of the Idols, but he’s no Daltrey. There is so much awesome in The Who clip it can hardly be contained.

My wife and I have been looking for a new digital SLR. So I do lots of searching the internet, and come up with some low prices via various mail order places. Having gotten the old camera from a mail order place (with good success), I figured why not do it again. Anyway, I settled [...]...

| Dean Guitar Review |
| 2008-04-18 17:30:23 |
I just got a Dean Vendetta as part of my participation in the Little Kids Rock program, and I figured I’d give a review here for those of you in the market for a new electric guitar. The first thing I have to say about this thing is it’s light. I almost thought it wasn’t real wood, but turns [...]...

Every Christmas songfight does the annual “Gift of Music” where whoever choses to participate picks three songs, then is paired up with another participant. Each “gifter” picks one of the songs from the “giftees” list, and does a cover version of it. Frankie Big Face covered “Sisters of Mercy” by Leonard Cohen for me, (thanks [...]...

| Bacon Salt - A Triumph of Science. |
| 2008-02-24 08:59:17 |
Bacon Salt What’s better than bacon? When you wrap filet mignon with bacon, it doesn’t make the bacon better, it makes the filet better. Bacon doesn’t need sauce either. It stands alone. It’s cheap too. Who wouldn’t want all their food to taste like bacon?

| Political Protest Songs - Why I can’t stand (most of) them. |
| 2008-02-18 21:06:14 |
After listening to some FAWM music (and there’s some great stuff on there) I realized why I don’t like most political protest songs. Â The literalness. That’s what. Â I like songs that allow you to draw their own meaning. Â One of the FAWMers had written a song about broken love, but it ended up being about [...]...

| Something exciting in Music Education, Little Kids Rock. |
| 2008-02-09 20:53:14 |
I signed up to do a music workshop called Little Kids Rock. Anyway I went to the workshop today (on my day off) and I must say it was pretty cool. They had a bunch of materials, well thought out and sequenced, using almost exclusively popular music of different styles. They basically get kids playing from [...]...

An ode to the man who invented potato chips. Really. At least according to the wiki. And we all know how accurate that is. Anyway it’s full of fingerpicking, and slide guitaring.Download

Here’s my latest FAWM entry, You’re All I Need, hot off the presses. I’ll probably go back and re-sing it at a later date, and I’m also hearing some mandolin and banjo but I’ve got other fish to fry right now.
Download it.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I went to the Del McCoury concert new years eve. I was struck by how appreciative all the performers were. Ronnie Bowman must have thanked the audience 10 times for coming out to see them. All the performers seemed genuinely humble, and glad to be there. There wasn’t [...]...

| Del McCoury at the Ryman, Nashville Tennessee |

I went to the big new years bash at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, featuring Del McCoury and friends. The friends being Jon Fishman of Phish, Drew Emmitt and Vince Herman from Leftover Salmon, and the Steep Canyon Rangers. If I had just seen Drew Emmitt by himself I would’ve thought “he’s a pretty good [...]...

Ok, in the last post I talked about my thought process in creating a chorus from a poem I was given. This time I’ll talk about the verses. Here’s the material that became the verses, for reference.
Will you be my angel?
When you cross to the other side.

I was recently asked to take a poem and turn it into a song. The author had written a poem, about a guardian angel and though it would make a good song. It’s of a very religious nature which I know is not everybody’s cup of tea. My wife listens to a lot of [...]...

| Journey finds new singer on YouTube |
| 2007-12-22 09:19:05 |
The major difference between this guy, and most of the other YouTube hopefuls, is that he is in a working band, and he can sing. Hearing him speak, then hearing Steve Perrys voice come out of his mouth is surreal.
I guess we’ll see another flood of hopefuls after this.

Please don’t fool yourself teenyboppers of the world, Hanna Montana (who is a fictional character on a fictional scripted show) is the calculated creation of middle aged executives, designed to separate teenagers from their money. I mean really, a money making juggernaut like the Walt Disney company would not entrust the money they sunk [...]...

She pointed them to the person she believed was using the particular account, and the RIAA didn’t bother talking [...]...

Here’s an answer to a two-fold question asked on Yahoo Answers: “How do you write a song with a band?” This is not the only way of course, but it’s probably easiest for this particular situation. This askers biggest problem was also that the drummer was inexperienced. Really, the drummer needs to know what [...]...
