Foolish.mp3

“The first lie, was not the last lie..”

Written in 1991 or 1992, a tape deck special.

Friendly Fire.mp3

Written after the first gulf war.  Another one of those sequenced keyboard things with just a mic and cassette player.

A Classical Christmas.mp3

Recorded in 1992, this is a sequenced, semi-classical track that I wrote around Christmas in 1991.  Just a keyboard.

Wishin’ For A Miracle.mp3

This is one of the first demos I recorded when I was putting together my studio in the mid-nineties.  My partner, Chris Raspante, did the guitars and sung the track – I did the rest.

Walk Away.mp3

I wrote this in 1992 or so – just me, a cheap keyboard, tape deck and mic.  This is another one that I will produce someday.  Pretty crappy recording, but passable.

Run Away.mp3

Another demo song that I recorded somewhere around 1995.  This was before I had my studio, so it was a sequenced track with a keyboard and tape deck and mic.

On The East Side.mp3

A songwriting demo I recorded with Jon Mellen – he also works at eBags.com with me. I wrote the song, he sung the vocals. Everything else I did with samples and virtual instruments. The lyrics for this were orginally written in the early nineties.

Around The Block.mp3

Someday I will finish this.  Recorded in 2003.   Just another demo.

Creep.mp3

I started writing a song one day a few years ago (in the 2000’s) and realized the chord progression sounded familiar.  Well, it was – it was “Creep” by Radiohead.  So, instead of giving up, I just decided to put my own spin on this whole thing.  This is it.  I think this is the first cover tune I have ever recorded.

Highway 84.mp3

The original songwriter’s demo of this song, which eventually made it onto J. Gilligan’s compilation in 1996, although in a more polished format.  The song is missing the guitar solo in the middle.  Almost everything here was sampled, other than the organ and vocals.  We eventually recorded the whole thing live.
