I recorded this little ditty a few days back.

A while back I posted to Muxtape some music I made. Since Muxtape is no longer available to the general public, I thought I’d put my homegrown tunes in my box. Here’s a playlist for your listening pleasure.

Zapatero // Zapatero means cobbler in Spanish.

Way Farin’ Stranger // This mandolin driven ballad was a collaboration between Ethan Ray Bush (mi hermano) and myself. He plucked the mandolino. I struck the quijada.

The Dips // One take. Harmonica and accoustical guitarra.

Don’t Go Home // Brad “Hound Dog” Johnson and myself threw this track down in one take. We were just a stone’s throw from the birthplace of blues, Memphis.

Range // Wait. Did I play this?

Mexican Funeral // The name is self-explanatory. Orale!

I Could Run Away // This song was originally written by Waterdeep. Adam Copeland and myself recorded this version in Mount Pleasant, TX. On a farm.

E Jig (Minor) // Ethan Ray Bush. Nuff said.

Dust Bowl C (Huancane Remix) // This song was an inter-continental collaboration between myself and Rick “El Cubano” Martinez. Rick lived in Huancane, Peru at the time of recording. I was in Little Rock, AR.

Car Port // Fergalicious.

Beat Base // Word.

Feel free to download them. Pretend you wrote them. Package them. Sell them. Get rich off of them. Just cut me in.

I made this time-lapse video during the Promise House Era. During the fist part, I’m working with Garage Band. Then, you’ll see me touching up some photographs I took shortly after the arrival of the much anticipated Nikon D40, like this one. I’m using flickr and picnik.

Update: Muxtape changed. I moved. All my homegrown tunes can be now found in my box.

I’ve put two new tracks up on my Muxtape.

“Don’t Go Home” was written and recorded by Brad “HoundDog” Johnson and myself. I think you’ll like the Memphis touch. HoundDog played the lead. I played rhythm. You’re gonna want to crank up the volume on this one.

“I Could Run Away” was written by Waterdeep. This version was recorded in Mt. Pleasant, TX by Adam Ray Copeland Sr. and myself.  Make sure you listen all the way through to hear the very spiritual commentary following the song. You’re sure to be edified.

Both tracks were recorded using the onboard mic on my macbook and mixed using garage band.

Enjoy!

I made some music on Garage Band this past weekend. I managed to throw together four songs in a few free hours.

Here’s a pic of what was in my music tool box:

1. Martin Guitar (My beautiful wife bought this for me as an engagement gift 5 years ago.)

2. Random Shaker (I bought that bad boy for 5 S/. in the Mercado Indio in Lima, Peru.)

3. Hohner Harmonica (I have no idea where this came from. It just appeared one day.)

4. Kazoobie Kazoo (I didn’t actually use it in any recordings, but I had it handy just in case!)

5. Random Shaker Part Deux (Another Peruvian market buy.)

You can listen to them all on my muxtape. ‘Remix’ has an electric lead track added by Rick Martinez, a Cuban Guitar Virtuoso living in Huancane, Peru.

Enjoy.
