Yesterday Brian and I were going over our catalog of songs and it reminded me that some of you (especially other songwriters and poets) have wanted to discuss writing styles. What follows is a quick off-the-top outline of songwriting styles.
Recording new tunes in an “empty” (slightly haunted) house
The guys and I spent the last weekend of 2007 in an “*empty” house, recording three songs: Mushroom Sky FingerPrints Looking Glass Road It was fun and went pretty smoothly, and what a great way to end the year.
Last Friday’s Show
We had a great time at the Roseland again, what a nice stage that place has! And thanks to all of you who were there – and to all our new friends. If you were one of the many people who came up to get CDs, drop us a line and make sure you’re on […]

More New Tunes…loving the new lineup
Well, with this new lineup it’s become so easy to write and arrange new tunes, rehearsals have become even more fun and rewarding. I can’t wait to play some of these new songs live.

We rehearsed tonight and now afterwards I see these really nice comments. Although we play for love […]
Mixing and Editing and Writing Oh MY!
We’ve been working on a lot of new tunes with James on bass – and it’s just been a rather organic flow, he’s bringing something special to the project. He played with us at Cresfest and altho he’d only rehearsed with us a couple of times at that date, he did a great job. While […]
Upcoming show in Portland
We got a call from Crenshaw (Garden of Eden) to play with them at the Roseland in Portland Friday November 30th. It was a blast last time we played with them, and it’s a very cool venue … So, we’ll see you guys up there!
Progress report

In addition, on a whim I redid the lead vocal for Wizard and captured something I liked better than the original vocal. What […]
