New All Along parts I and II
It seems like it gets longer and longer in between uploading new cuts. I don’t know if it is because I am getting too picky or what! I have kind of mixed feelings about this song, called “New All Along part I and II”. It is inspired from the old Bob Dylan song “All Along The Watch Tower”
in that it has a similar chord progression. But the melody line is different and especially different in the second part of the song. I really like the way this came out except for one thing: No matter how I mixed it the first half sounds so different from the second half that it’s pretty much a different song.
After dozens of master mixes I finally gave up and made it obviously two songs – hence the “New All Along parts I and II” title. Pretty clever huh?
I would really welcome your mix on this. The original unedited cuts are contained in zip files (links below) because iTunes (or the WordPress plug-in called Podpress) apparently sees posted mp3 files somewhat randomly. In fact I will go back and re-post the earlier stuff in that format to clean up the podcast tracks. As always you are free to use under the Creative Commons License. Translation – use it any way you want for free but give me credit as the song writer and performer.
Oh – and I would really appreciate it if you just let me know you used it – send me a link!

This mix is one of my best I think. The track started from an unusually strong rock drum beat sampled from my synthesizer. After hearing the whole set of tracks it was hard to choose what to focus on. The sax track is really smooth. The two lead guitar tracks are frequently in an interesting harmony – but not necessarily in tune with the sax track all the time.
I think you will want to turn this up.

This one is pretty atmospheric in the beginning and a little fusion after that… I just don’t know where this stuff comes from sometimes. I hope you like this – I really do

Dubious by Nature
Some time ago I would spend time in a little Irish pub in NorthPort, Long Island, NY. It was a warm and accommodating place where most of the folks I hung out with were from County Cork, Ireland. I’m not sure why that was the case, but it was. I played darts and drank a ‘wee bit of Old Jamie’s and told stories with some of the coolest people I knew. My favorite memory was of playing guitar with the guys that hung out there. That’s actually the main reason I would go. Sometimes a flute would appear, and once someone whipped out an accordion.
This song reminds me of some of the music we were playing in NorthPort.
I Finished the mix just now – I hope this does not get tedious to listen to… it’s as long a recording as I have ever posted here. But I just wrote this and performed it in the last 90 minutes… it is still echoing sweetly in my ears. This is a straight up live recording.
Here are the individual tracks used in the main mix. The muse is living in track 1
