Hi all,

I haven't posted in a long, long time but I have checked in from time to time. The quality of the song recordings keep getting better.

I'm back in the studio and well into recording an Americana-tinged album.

My first release is You Have to Like Lonesome. I wrote it, with a bit of lyric help from my friend Ron Beliveau,last year. From start to finish, including a guitar vocal demo, the entire session lasted 90 minutes. I revised a few words but that was it. Quite the exception to the rule for my songwriting labors. The BIAB arrangement took a lot of time, as I had a hard time finding the right feel for the song.

Thanks for checking it out.

Update: I remixed the vocal to add more reverb. Floyd and other forum members, thanks for the advice. It does sound better. I have updated the file on the Bandcamp link above.
