Solo Projects |
I remember having discussion in my younger days about 'art by committee' in reference to the team it takes to make a music production. I realize now the importance of all the members of the team: writer, producer, engineer, studio players, etc. I've always wanted to do a project totally by myself though - writing, producing, engineering, playing all the instruments, even doing the cover art. I don't know why I wanted to do this - ego maybe - maybe just to prove to myself (and others) that I could do it. At any rate, I'm still working on that project but have decided to post one of the results here. It's kind of a country/jazzy thing. Let me know what you think. |

The project described above has taken an inordinate amount of time - years already and it's about 3/4 finished. In my defense though, I got sidetracked and did 5 other solo projects. One is a traditional gospel album called 'Psalm 150' and the cover art and a sample are posted below: |

Listen: Life's Railway To Heaven |
The other 4 projects came about almost unintentionally. For the past few years I've been learning to play mandolin. These projects are a culmination of those efforts to date. Samples are below: |
