Me and my Dear, Sweet Samantha. Oh how we loved to play music together. Even if she was just singing. There was so much more potential that we never got to realize. This was found by my Dear Friend Amy. She said the photo was in an envelope marked…

My recording process.

My recording process is coming along nicely. When I listen to a playback I am less embarrassed than last time.

Dave,

 

Thanks for listening to "Run Again!" I have played alone for so long it would be difficult to play with a group. And my knowledge of bass playing is non-existent! I do have some drum loops that I've used in the past but not enough knowledge on my mixing abilities. I use the free program Audacity to record all my tunes.

 

A few years ago I tried playing live with a keyboardist and a drummer and I had a hard time keeping within their framework. I play too loose! I only practice with a electronic metronome once in awhile. I guess you could say I'm a wild cannon!

 

I only have a couple of local friends that still play, most of them have moved on to other activities than music. So I go on playing music on my own with the computer as my tool.

 

I, too, would like to here group arrangements for my tunes, that would be great!

 

Thanks for your input!

Kirk

Dave,

 

Thanks for taking time to listen and comment! Yes, Neil Young is one influence as well as the Beatles and others. In fact I have the Easy Guitar book for their Deja Vu album of CSNY and I like to play "Helpless" for fun. "Old Man" is also a favorite to play and sing, also a Neil Young tune.

 

I think I am a stylized rhythm player and an improvising lead player. No telling what my lead will sound like the second or third time around! It's just part of my learning so much by myself and only being in a garage band in High School, no one to take the sharp corners off!

 

On "Open Secret," I used my Toneport UX1 with the Gearbox software set to microphone only and using a Detroit RnB vocal preset for playing and singing, keeping it simple but adding some flavor to the song. I am from Michigan and live about an hour away from Detroit! So a little MoTown influence too.

 

Keep playing in that simple music style, many times it's what sounds best!

 

Kirk

Hey Dave,

Hi Dave,

I just left a long reply to your request that we listen and comment on your four songs...then I pressed "send" and it seemed to disappear!!! Let me know if you don't get it!  Thanks, Edward

Pleasure Dave. Nice to hear from you:)

Hi Dave

I came back for another listen to your music. You've got some terrific songs here. You have a beautiful voice and an obvious passion for what you sing about. Your guitar playing is very tight and clean. I enjoy the diversity of your songs and the production on your songs is beautifully acoustic - you get a wonderful live feel on Where Do YOu go to Surrender. Return to me is simply beautiful. Congratulations - I look forward to hearing more. It looks to me from your profile we may have a similiar background in the music we enjoy playing and listening to you. Cheers.
