What are your favorite brands and why?

I don’t have any favorite bands anymore. Growing up in the ’50s and ’60s, there were great bands and you could buy anything they released and would be happy with your purchase for decades. These days, I don’t listen to bands. I don’t have favorite bands. I have great songs that I listen to by a number of various groups, but there is no band that consistently impresses me.

It will sound like sour grapes, but today’s music industry does not allow creativity. They only want guaranteed return on investment.

Music for “When In Doubt”

I am not really finished with this song. Many of my songs move on to the ‘finished’ shelf when there is a lot more to be done with the song and/or recording. Being the jack-of-all-trades singer-songwriter/engineer-producer and all the rest means I can generate decent versions of my original music without waiting for band mates, schedules, funding and studio availability.

I realized long ago I cannot make them commercial or ‘radio-play’ worthy on my own. But here you can see early versions of a song or two developing or maybe ones I pushed out into the lime light too soon. I’m OK with that because most of my songs are not ready for prime time. Still, I think I have a bunch of great tunes posted on this blog. Some of my tunes are progressive folk, some lean towards alternative, some are a bit on the soundtrack side. Maybe not your style of music, but there’s something for everyone.

I hope you enjoy an early glimpse of “When In Doubt“.
