Watching Melons


This is sort of a repost I posted this tune back a few months ago, I warmed up the mix ,swept the corners , and converted it into the ever so popular compressed mp3 format. I want to rerecord this tune with drums, bass, and all the other stuff, but I know I'll never quite capture it like what I recorded here. This song could be about a lot of things. For me its about giving in and giving what you as an individual can share with the world. The song title was something that I scribbled down and it stuck, maybe someday I'll stick another title to it but until then enjoy this as it is. Recorded in the kitchen of our Portland home. on a laptop with a cheap microphone and kids running around in the background. Enjoy....Watching Melons (demo version II)mp3

The Subterraneans



This is one of those books I have had for what seems ever. Ive read it a few times. loaned it out and by miracle got it returned. One of my favorites from Jack Kerouac. The mood in this book is different than his others. This book has a lot of jazz beat mixed into the text. I can recall picking up an old acoustic guitar and opening the book up to any old page. and just singing the words on the page. The Kerouac magic fell into place as song emerged, that can't be done with just any book. Thus the king of the beats does his thing, in this short little gem. Jack knew what to do with an old chair.
