Solitary Man

C – Am – F – G I got my first allergy Somethin’ bad happened to me I think it’s somethin’ you’ll understand Makin’ dinner for one Lord knows it ain’t no fun Drinkin’ my beer all alone [chorus] [F] I never thought I’d [G] see The [C] day...

Eastern Wind

While I’m at it, I might as well post another song that I made with the orchestra plugin. This one was supposed to have a middle-eastern sound to it, but also have a nice driving drum beat. The actual beat of the drums is pretty close to what I...

Piano Song

I never posted this song up here, but I tend to want to listen to it sometimes, so I thought a nice easy way to get to it would be nice (FTP is annoying sometimes).  Basically, this is a song I wrote to play with a new orchestra plugin...

Behringer B5 Disassembly

My Behringer B-5 microphone started making some weird thumping noises recently. After doing some cable swapping, and creative hookups between my preamp and a pair of headphones, I became 90% sure that it was the microphone making these weird noises.

A New Song – Piano Test

Talk or Walk

I’m not much for conversation. The smalltalk in our lives. I’m waiting for something special; whenever it arrives. Standing straight and watching Spoken words go flying by. Concentration blurs, and eyes drift off, My ears have said goodbye Waiting on my own two feet, With patience gazing far. I...
