i
30 year edition
It was 22 years ago I released the CD "i" as a stand alone album of songs written from 1992-1999 that had a heaver tone.
​​
it was 30 years ahead of its time.
All but the songs
"How Do you Do" 1999
"i" 1999
("i" was before i-pods, i-pads, i-phones, and i-tunes)
"The Inside" 1999
​
All other songs are from 1992-1994
​
This album is full of prophetic songs that have come to pass.
​​
To be honest I never wanted to sing these songs but after so many time trying to find a voice I just did them myself. But vocally I have never really happy with any of it. But the songs are what made me what I am so all good.
​
​
Songs.
"How Do You Do"
I had just set my drums up stairs in the dinning room with 12' ceilings wanting to get a different sound and to make a full album of many heaver sounding songs I had written a few years before.
​
"i"
Was also a song from tracking drums in the upper room, as a mater of fact I tracked the drums for both songs in one take.
​
"Inside"
Also from the same day
I had a friend named Lisa Hanson who had lent me her synthisizer keyboard and thought that sound was cool, I remember just hitting one key for about five minutes while recording and thought lets put some drums on it, ran up stairs and fallowed along. with the beat.
​
My Telecaster songs
"Out of the middle"
The Tele was and still is my go to heavy guitar right out of the gate. My set up was a Peavy Stereo chorus, GK 250RL threw 2 12 Cab and a 15 bass amp cab. for 1992 I thought is sounded pretty good, hard to capture it with the recording tec I had then but.
​
"Three Steps Back"
Again the Tele and detuned to my sounds good enough ears.
​
"From the Beginning"
I had done the main riff on another song but after laying down some drums and going back to listen i picked up the tele and started playing, one tack and this is what I got.
