I have been fortunate enough to have attended concerts where great musicians humbly pass the baton (creativity, improvisation, etc.). That stack of CD's has just never trumped being there. Time to go play guitar. Peace.

Songwriting is always overrated until there is a guitar pull with other songwriters. When you or one of your kindred spirits live a song (as opposed to just writing it) and leave the right stuff out something magical can happen. Follow that up with another great song right after the one you...

The new medium will not rival live music any more than those goofy looking cylinders did back in the day. Sousa was right; all you need is a good imagination, something to write with, a baton, and a band. He was on a stamp by 1940 with a whole sling of hits. When the clouds settle in you...

This is the first take live and mastered by yours truly. Hit play and let me know what you think. Lyrics to Old Folks Coming Down by Dahl Baker Best, Dahl

I am partial to the acoustic version. It has more guts and growl.

The intro is too long. Try some kind of A/B pattern for the syncopation. Good guitar solo. Strengthen the ending with the lyrics.

Good melocic interplay between the bass and sax. I want to be able to visualize a live band playing your tune so maybe the drums and bass should breath more up front

I'm listening for the bass. More dynamics please.

Put me in for one in 3/4 time...

Good song. I'm hearing a little more bass (yes Fender P), and some sparse high lonesome harmonies. The take away is that if you hit the road in Texas (I was born in Houston) you can let those memories of her drift away.

The title of the first song I wrote was called "Your Eyes." I was 17 and learning to play my moms Goya classical guitar when a beautiful girl broke my heart. I recorded it 30 some odd years later for posterity on my debut CD -- "Live at the Pemberville Opera House." You can hear it in it's...

Stay in first person (second verse) and go to the bridge.

Record live stereo in a small room.

I enjoyed it and found it different to what I normally listen to. The second time I listened back through it became obvious that bringing the bass up a bit more would support the overall dance beat vibe.

I am songwriter destined to be an Indie. This spring I am constructing a studio from the ground up to record music. To me it's all about the room and the simplicity of capturing it live. If you happen to have a 000-18 Martin (serial number 333070) I would like to buy it back ($$$$) as it was...

Has anyone tried recording with a pair of KSM44A's for live stereo?

Did I ever tell you that Mrs. McCave Had twenty-three sons and she named them all Dave? Well, she did. And that wasn't a smart thing to do. You see, when she wants one and calls out, "Yoo-Hoo! Come into the house, Dave!" she doesn't get one. All twenty-three Daves of hers come on the run...
