In July 2011 I arranged fourteen of my better songs from the dozens I've written the past thirty years into a new song list to hopefully be recorded (or in some cases, re-recorded) and released as my first new album since 1994.
For some of my older songs with R Band, go to the R Band Table of Contents page. Both of the following R Band Story albums date from 1994 and have twelve songs each. Seven of these twenty-four songs are being redone for the new album above (When you ride over sharps, you get flats!).

In October 2004 I began recording some of my original songs using the microphone of my web camera to record my guitar played through a battery-powered Pignose amplifier. The sound quality of this method of recording is awful, but at least the tunes are preserved for me to re-record later. These songs are also in mp3 format and are listed on the Multimedia page.
In November 2008 I started recording myself using free open-source software and plugging my guitar directly into the sound card of my computer. This was much better for the guitar sounds, but for vocals the microphone was still the limiting factor. I was using one that looked like it came from a cereal box, a tiny little thing.
In June 2009 I met a new bass player close to where I now live in Oregon. Rocky and I jammed regularly several nights a week for several months. In the Spring of 2010 our regular jamming was interrupted, and by the Fall of 2010 I finally realized it wasn't going to happen anymore. We were never recorded and never played publicly. It's a shame because sometimes we sounded pretty good. The new band would have been called Rosetucky (Rocky's name for it). We did a couple of R Band tunes, some of my other songs not listed on this page, and new material including much contributed by Rocky.
