This is a live performance I did last night . . other versions are archived @the mixdown

Last November I was asked to do a concert @ the 5spot 4 WRVU. This happened to coincide with the death toll of american servicemen in iraq reaching 2000. A milestone that affected me deeply.

Briefly . . .
The names you hear the computer speaking are of the 2000+ young men and women who have come home in coffins. Whilst editing them I noticed the names of Elvis and Jesus amidst the roll of honour . . .

so download and listen . . it's music to make you think

Unfortunately this is only part one

not quite 8 months later and we're up another 500 and counting . .

"Don't touch it you'll break it”

My father used to say to me "Don't touch it you'll break it”. . how right he was!
Years later when I found the courage to switch on anything electrical I unwittingly took on music technology in more ways than one . . .
and so this week I have come out of another spate of crashed hard drives, monster power conditioners that didn't condition, computers that wouldn't boot and lots of time and money spent contemplating how my quest to write and record music, (and heaven forbid continue to make a living from it!), has become at the mercy of software, hardware and electric companies!!
Banjo players don't know how lucky they are!
