MUSIC VIDEO: AMERICAN DREAM

Check out the new video for American Dream!

AMERICAN DREAM: NEW SINGLE

Economy got you down? Think politicians suck? Check out my latest single American Dream. No matter what side of the political fence you stand on (whether you are having a Tea Party, or Occupying Wallstreet), this is a song that we all can relate to.

STRATOVARIUS or STRATOCASTER

In 8th grade I traded my violin for a Stratocaster... just found it. May be time to learn how to play it again...

Either way, it makes for some cool pictures - especially when you put a skull in the shot. Zombie Mozart?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Shot the cover art for the new single and part of the video. Everything was shot on green screen, which has become my preferred way to shoot stills and video. I'm excited about this one - doing the final mix now. Stay tuned for the release date.

I've got the turkey on the smoker, putting the finishing touches on the new song, and will start editing the video over the holiday weekend. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

I for one am very thankful for friends and family this year! Best to you all!

WOLFMOTHER ROCKS!

So, I may be a little late to the party, but I just found this band, and they are on of my new favorites. Wolfmother -  It's like Ozzy meets Led Zeppelin! Who says Rock'n Roll is dead?  Check it http://www.wolfmother.com/

SLAVE TO THE APPLE MATRIX

So, I'm totally caught in the Apple Matrix... I've been using Logic 8... but the lure of Flex Time was too great to resist, so I upgraded to Logic 9. My first single is on iTunes and sell well, and the irony is not lost on me that I used that money to buy more software to make more music, so I can put it on iTunes and make more money to buy more software, to make more music to put on... iTunes.

HEAVY CORE GUITAR STRINGS

I've become fond of drop tuning lately... but I'm also a fan of light gauge strings - which get way too slinky when tuned to C or even D. Problem with the heavy gauge is they don't always seat in the nut properly, so I'm going to have to have my guitar setup. But I picked up a set of Dunlop Heavy Cores to try out... I'll report back when I get the nut on my Les Paul adjusted... can you say monster tone?

GUITAR CENTER

No recording session would be complete without a trip to Guitar Center. Mmmm... Les Pauls!

IN THE STUDIO...

Spent the day laying down tracks on the new single. Using the Novation Remote 61 XL to trigger the Steinway piano, and some cellos in Logic 8. ...Yes, I'm still on 8. Buy my mp3 on iTunes, and I might upgrade to 9, lol...

Listening to the rough mix, reminds me of Guns'n Roses (Use Your Illusion) type ballad. Looking forward to the final mix... stay tuned!

SNAKE IN THE GRASS: iTunes

Snake in the Grass, the new hit single, is now available on iTunes!

Been cheated on? Been lied too? Want to get even? This song is for you. Play it for that special someone who's made your life a living hell, lol...
