Hi all, I just found a song I wrote in 1976 and recorded in the 80s. It's called "A Little Pain". I remember playing it in bars with 2 Marshall Stacks. I found it on a real old cassette. Transfered it from an old boombox. I tried to fix the sound as best I could. It has too much highs, but it was the only way I could bring up the Vocal and Guitar. Check it out if you like at http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_music.cfm?bandID=835626 . Warning, It Is Hard Rock. I used a Marshall and a 1965 Fender Jazzmaster. Wayne, p.s. my first drum machine...

Great chops man!
Great song also. Super vocal as well.
I arrived early to a restaurant.
The manager asks, "do you mind waiting a bit?"
I said no.
"Good", he said. "Take these drinks to table 3"

Hi,
Thanks! The cassette has really bad sound so I was surprised I got that much fidelity out of it.
What blows me away is not just way I used to play but, man oh man, my voice is so young sounding.
It was so cool finding this. Like a lost treasure for me.
I am going to work on new stuff soon. I'm still trying to practice as much as I can. On a good day I can play pretty good. I don't think I'll ever play like the old days but, I don't want to. Also my present voice is fine by me.
My next project will be simple but will include vocals. That way we'll see how much changed for better or worse.
Again, Thanks for listening and your kind words of support. Also, I sure miss my old Fender JazzMaster. Still got my trusty ole Tele' though.
Wayne,

One more thing. In 1976 the band I was in asked me to write the lyrics. I wrote them the night before we performed it and always announced it "Now Here's a Little Love Song for You All". lol. I was a lot more fun when I was 24?

Very Tasty! I agree that it would work well with RTs -- go for it, don't worry if your voice is deeper now.. just call it "richer" and "more mature." <grin>
I also listened to your next track on the list, "Craylike Jam," which I really like. I listened to a lot of Robert Cray in the seventies, and am glad to be reminded. Very convincing. Your chops are still alive if this is current.
Thanks,
Daisy

Thank you all for listening. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Daisy, the last 2 songs on the list are mellow jazz-blues songs. That's what I mostly played in the 90s. Very clean guitar and acoustic which I never got to record.
I haven't thought about playing Rock in ages. I've been playing blues forever but when I played in bands they were Rock and Loud Rock.
Wayne,
