Where Have I Been? 

It has been a while… just about two years at this point as I was working on my personal challenge of 24 songs in 2014. So, here is the short story as I do not want to dwell too much on the past, but would rather look forward to some of the exciting things coming in the near future.

 

I had (and still have) a bit of a health battle going on. Something I can mange, but a lot of tests, scans, and med changes have left me with little to no energy to do anything aside form day to day tasks. Even those are hard…

Song #2 is Complete in Draft Form 

The second song of my 24 Songs in 2014 is complete in draft form. The sound file from song #1 is up on the site (a blog post soon to follow) in the Music Page. 

This second song came together rather quickly and is separate from the ones mentioned in the last blog post. This means that there are still three other songs in the works at the moment, so stay tuned. 

Song #1 in draft form 

Song #1 of 24 is in a completed draft form and taking life. Check the blog within a week to listen to a demo version and read about the process. 

Relocation Project 

I have relocated from Dover, NH to Winter Park, FL. Things have been in a transitional period for the past year and a half but I'm working on getting back into the swing of things musically. Keep watching this site for news updates and other media. I am putting together some videos of past performances to post as well as updating some recordings that are not up on the site yet. 

Also note that I am offering private guitar lessons online. You can click on the link on the right of my pages to book a lesson…

We have not gone too far away. Check back within the next few weeks as the site gets updated and overhauled a bit. Currently Bob and Christy are heading out as an Acoustic Duo. Dates and information will be posted soon. We look forward to seeing you at a show soon.

On the 29th day....... 

...... we rest So, congratulations to fellow RPMers who completed the task . This is day 29 and now we can rest. We managed to deliver our CD in person at the wire without much issue. Although, it did begin to snow. The good news about the pending snow storm is it will allow March 2 to be called "the day we get back to life" I still feel February was lost, but on the other side of it we have 9 new songs and a demo CD that's not too bad. If the snow day happens we may even get the songs uploaded…

Wrapping it up 

So here we are on day 27 (almost 28). Things are put together and mixed. Even have files transferred and giving a last listen in the morning. There's always some caution to be taken when having the help from the captain while doing mix down All in all we're in good shape. Even the cover art is just about complete so Christy won't have to draw it while the cd is burning. Now we just need to get some cds and we'll be all set to burn and print tomorrow and of course deliver to the wire on Sunday. There's…

Heavenly Hell 

Vocal tracks are done. (unless we decide to change some things during mix down) This afternoon lead tracks will be done and the mix down process commences. I hate to say this, but we're actually ahead of where we were last year and I have no idea how it happened as it was a slow start and life is still getting in the way Anyway, I figured I'd post the lyrics to one of the tunes because it sums up the whole project: Heavenly Hell by Bob Walker, Jr To wallow in the madness An empty mind and a…

Recording Sessions 2 

So, I'll start by mentioning some of the cool aspects of this challenge. As I was getting some equipment together the other night I ran into a fellow musician. We chatted a bit about music, he showed me his studio, asked what we were up to and how we were going about it all. It's interesting how different musicians are all approaching what, how and why they are doing this challenge in order to get to the end result. It also blows my mind sometimes knowing that there are musicians all around at this moment…

Recording Session 1 

Ok, so here it is, the story of recording session #1 I get a call from George (drummer) last night on his way home from a gig. His truck broke down. A bit of a set back but after some looking up of numbers he finally got towed and I was able to get him home. Problem is the drums are in the truck that broke down, but again, a small problem and that was solved. I got home, finished setting up the computer with some software I never used before yet it seemed to go fairly well and I set up the sessions…
