I found some collaborators over at kompoz.com who helped turn my songs “Miss Mischief” and “Slow Down” into finished recordings.
I had recorded the “Miss Mischief” demo with just my vocals and ukulele back in October of last year. This new version features additional harmony vocals and upright bass by Lonnie Wilson, with piano and drums by Rick Berls. Rick also did the final mixdown.
The demo of “Slow Down” was recorded in June of last year, again with just uke strumming and singing. Lonnie added bass, Nick Maynard added a guitar intro, and Rick added drums and final mastering.
I’m pretty happy with the sound!

Tonight we saw Colin Hay at a local club. In case you didn’t know, he was the lead singer/songwriter from “Men at Work” in the ’80s and then went on to a splendid solo career of his own.
He’s one of the most enjoyable performers I’ve ever seen or had the honor to meet. Half of his act was just him talking to the crowd, telling charming anecdotes and jokes between songs. Damn if he isn’t one of the funniest guys ever.
Lisa needs a better camera phone, it takes crap pictures.
Yesterday afternoon we had to put our dog to sleep. He’d had liver and thyroid problems for the past few years, but over the weekend he suffered kidney failure and could no longer walk, and there’s just no coming back from that.
He was part of our family for 14 good years. We let the kids say their final goodbyes, although they’re still too young to fully comprehend what’s happening. They keep asking when he’s coming home from the doggy doctor, and no matter how we try to explain it they still ask.
I managed to survive my first week as IT Director at the local community college, and I have to say I’m enjoying it quite a bit. I work with great people and there’s no shortage of stuff to do.
Plus, I get to see the ocean every day. Even the spot where I parked my car this morning has this nice view.
The biggest downside so far is having an office in such close proximity to a vending machine. I can hear the Snickers bars calling to me from down the hall.
I was in a gnarly car accident yesterday that destroyed my vehicle and banged me up pretty good. I got hit so hard that my car flipped over onto the driver’s side, the tires exploded and I had to kick out the sunroof to escape.
I gotta give props to BlackBerry. Mine flew from the car and bounced down the street, split open and cracked, yet it still kinda works.
