Seventeen Storms

 

This song was inspired by a guy I saw on The Weather Channel predicting how many named hurricanes there would be that year. Seventeen, he thought.

 

Jack Burgess - lead guitar

Not Enough Face

 

I wanted to record a song with verses that were spoken rather than sung, so I wrote this. The hypnotic groove reminds me of someone driving on a highway in the rain, just thinking.

 

Jack Burgess - guitars

Fanfare For the Uncommon Man

 

I sometimes like to break away from “normal” pop songs and write and record an instrumental piece like this one. The challenge is to keep it interesting without a lyric to rely on!

Drive

 

This song was inspired by the dystopian future depicted in the film THX1138, directed by George Lucas back when he was a film student.

 

Jack Burgess - keyboard sax

Insufficient Evidence Was Found

 

This song was recorded using Cubase on a MacBook in January 2010. It’s the most complex song I’ve ever recorded!

 

Pam Beery - flute

John Boyd - voice

New! I used GarageBand and iMovie to make this music video on my MacBook laptop. The music is made up of various “loops” that come with GarageBand. I took the video myself using an inexpensive digital camera.
