Captain Ambivalent

About Me

Crummy live video clips are at YouTube.com .Lyrics are posted at CaptainAmbivalent.com .

CD recording is in progress. Really. (yeah, I know how long I've been saying that).

Most Thursdays you can find me at FrontPorch Music 's open mic (usually two songs), though lately I've been there in spirit more than flesh, trying to keep the album moving.

The online store is down - spreadshirt.com seemed to drop printing quality after the initial batches, especially compared to the expense, so I'm exploring other options.

Finally some actual music posted: a test mix of the Captain Ambivalent song, full band version. For what it's worth, not all the songs on the album will sound like this one - there will be some elect...

Blarging

So I had this weird dream. Somehow I wound up on a tour bus full of retirees from Miami in the Golan Heights. We weren't supposed to be there and were trying to sneak around the Israeli and Syrian fo...

Recording In Progress

It took a special microphone rig from Holland, but I'm finally getting decent accordion recording. The drum tracks have been ready for some time - the accordion has been the challenge. So I've start...
