About Me

Hello and welcome."Lessons" is me as the band (Not to many creative arguments that way). It was produced by me with Ed Taylor and I doing the mixing. This was recorded at Ed Taylor's "White Falcon studio" in Fruitport. I had Michelle Johnson who sings with me in "Down by one" take most of the vocals on this one. She also helped with the lyrics. I figured it was to decent of a song to have me ass it up with me singing the whole thing. I have donated this one to my band "Down by One" and we should be playing a version of this live soon."Downward Trend" is me as the band again. The basic tracks were recorded in my little 8 track studio. I did the vocals at "White Falcon". Pardon the drums if they seem a little static. I used a Boss DR-770 drum machine. I primarily write rock lite. This is about as hard as I get these days."ODETONUNO" is excactly what it is........Ed and I were testing an amp and I just layed this down. Sounds like something Nuno would play, hence the name.I plan on recording a few more songs if I can EVER find the time!!!!. Until then enjoy and thanks for stopping in.
