Submitted for Songfight Monday, August 20th 2007.

Suzanne and I stopped at Memphis, TN on the way home from New Orleans years ago one lazy summer afternoon. We didn't spend much time, but I was determined to pay respects to Sun Studios, so we took a walk down the dusty highway from the city center.

Sweet! My picture of Hans Gruber is at the top of Google's search results for 'Hans Gruber'. I threw it together for my music-making alter ego on songfight.org

And of course, the music retailers cry "Foul"! More evidence of an industry in it's death-throws.

Jack Horner, creative and joint managing director for Frukt, a music-marketing agency, said that while "people like (Prince) play a key part in helping figure out what the models may be in the music business of tomorrow, by giving away a whole album on the front of a newspaper, there is a very clear devaluing of music, which is not a positive message to send out right now."

Original mix submitted for the Memorial Day Fight 2006.

Working some power-chord sliding on the guitar. Sounds like something from the 90's...Teenage Fanclub, perhaps? I came in second place! Not bad...but there's no prize for second ;)

Missed the deadline January 28, 2006 Songfight

This was my best Songfight submission to date, but I missed the deadline like an idiot. It was done in time, but I thought it was due at 10PM...not 10AM...duh

Submitted for Songfight due June 13, 2005

This was my fourth songfight, and the first with my guitar and new recording software. I had a blast recording it, even though I was cluelessly plucking around on the frets trying to make sense of such a strange instrument. I did some strong accompaniment in Reason to try to make up for other inadequacies (Like the god-awful singing). Sounds like the Dead on quaaludes. I tied for second place with two other songs...close fight!

Re-recording of original for Songfight May 2, 2005

I've decided to revisit some of my earlier songs to try to clean them up and build them out. This is a work in progress, and still has some samples from the original - which I'm trying to replace with my own playing.

This past week, Songfight posted 11 titles instead of the usual two or three. They also lifted the restriction of only 1 title submission per artist. Several folks submitted a number of titles, which in itself is a great accomplishment, but a few submitted for all 11 titles: Hostess Mostess, UDAH, and Paco Del Stinko. I'm really impressed. I don't think the intention was for the songs to be played together, but I was curious, and created playlists for each (attached to this post).
