Here’s another song from my Music Vault. “Hollow Gold” was originally written in the 1980′s, during my “restless youth” phase.

This version of the song was originally recorded when I moved into my current Tangled Wire Studio digs in the basement of stately Marwood Manor. While it is a primitive recording, (done in Cakewalk Pro Audio 9). at the time I was happy to have this old song idea is a completed form.

Here’s something I did as a live recording in my studio.

I’ve just uploaded a new song to my bandcamp page. “Keep Trying” is a recording I have been working on for the last two months. It’s a song I wrote after spending a lot of time listening to John Prine and Townes Van Zandt. I hope you enjoy it.

From time to time, I will dig through my music vault and post some older recordings.

The first edition of Marwood’s Music Vault features 2 versions of my song Electric Guitar Interlude. There’s about a 15 year gap between the 2 versions.

This recording dates back to 2004/2005. The production of this song started at the original Seattle location of “Tangled Wire Studios” and ended up being the 1st song I completed in my current digs (the basement of Marwood Manor.) This version features Jeff (I am sorry I don’t know his last name) on Drums and “crunch” rhythm guitar.

Now for a real blast from the past – here’s the original idea – Circa 1989.

This version is from the late 1980′s, was recorded in Kingston, PA and was the first “Completed” song done on my old Tascam Portastudio 4-track cassette recorder. The quality isn’t the greatest – The tape stock has degraded over the years – and the playing has some rough spots. At the time, however, I was was very happy to put something together. I owe a lot of thanks to my old friend Terry, who lent me an Yamaha Reverb box. (I am not sure of the model – but it might be a Yamaha Rex 50.)

In the meantime, if you’re looking for a song to download, my friend Drew Dundon just released a new song for free download.

For building the bass traps and panels. I used these simple PDF plans I found on the web.

In the next week or so, I plan on doing some more recording and mixing, which means I should have some new material up shortly.
