I'm having connectivity issues at the moment.

I also have nothing new. I went through my personal archives and this was the first song shared on my own sharing server. It didn't even get a sub-classification.

Halestorm - Do Not Disturb (B #1, 2, & 3; TB B & P)

It's not really my favorite kind of music but was something the missus wanted to do. So, we did it... Meh... It's not a terrible song. There are far worse songs out there than this one.

Hello everybody, welcome. Last Friday my buddy Verle came over and we enjoyed some beer and some music and some good company and had a damn good time.

it was a Friday Night Party https://soundcloud.com/supermassiveunknown/friday-night-party

The other day I taught myself 'Hava Nagila' on violin

I spent a few minutes listening to old stuff and think I want to try messing around again...

I think maybe this has potential, and have some thoughts on transitions. I know I played a part with a capo and need to re-learn how to play it. I have an idea in my mind about how my loneliness has taken over. Something about beauty in myself, but shame on being alone. It's a super melancholy song and sound. Super depressing, and something gen y-z or whatever has no clue about. Something like "Pictures of You" by The Cure.

Playing it I can hear some arpeggios and single note riffs that could take place. The bass line needs to be major prominent, something like Jeff Ament from PJ. The dissonant cord notes need to be heard hard... then the total shift to major chord "uplifting" chorus sound right at the end.

See when I'm drinking like I am tonight I can hear it all in my head. I can't play it and the drum parts KILL me. I NEED to hear the subtle cymbals and low tom hits, but I have to have the 100% song organization mapped out before I can even try and tap out the beat on a drum machine.

When I was 19 and didn't have responsibilities, and lived with my parents, and had health issues that stopped me from being accountable for things I could spend all night, and days working on things like this.

I HATE to say this, but honestly being buzzed like now, and back then I have a much better track, and ear for what I want. I had an "instant on" recording on a 4-track cassette available, and just did things.

Now it's like I want to record... OK re-arrange the entire room, connect all the cables, and an hour later I lost the vibe. Now UNDO all you did before bed, or tomorrow you can't work from home until you do. So now I have to PLAN "get semi-drunk" then "get all the mixer board and music stuff setup" then listen to old tracks for inspiration, then have a feeling that particular night about a sound and feel, then get the recording equipment working correctly, then test eh levels, then tune the guitar to the old track, OR then start with a NEW track, then use a metronome to figure the time, then open the software, create a track and create a click track on the timing I'm guessing at, Then test an intro or other part.

Go on from there. Seriously. My only chance in a full song is a machine drum witch needs a set timing. I can't just play, then go off time and "sync it up". By this point I'm 90% in the bag and can't be bothered to record. I don't have the luxury or a dedicated PC for recording always available.

I can hear in my head the sounds of that song above, and want to play around. I will try, Ijust can't offer a suggestion on the future

Robber's Cave

https://jumpshare.com/s/D3XDKxiyLjNiS0jf71Yy

Robber's Cave is a place in Oklahoma, where I grew up that has a very curious history. From hidden gold of the Jesse James Gang, to hideouts for smugglers and mercenaries, to psychological experiments by the US government on children, it's peaceful setting belies it's strange history and the hidden truths.

I composed this album as a collection to be played around a night time campfire. I ran the acoustic guitars through a Marshall amp to make them a little gritty. I generally have 3 guitars on each track, J 200 (12 gauge strings), Hummingbird (11 gauge strings) and a Dove (10 gauge strings), as well as an old Fender P bass. A few other instruments make appearances.

While I did write words, my feelings are that... I am really just bored and a little sick of everyone's bad poetry. Plus, my voice isn't as good as my guitar pickin'.

In the end, this ended up as an EP length 26 minute production. I have another 1/2 hour of other tracks, but... these are what fit together best and in this order. I scrapped the rest.

01 "The Secret's of Robber's Cave"

Wolfstein, The Murderer; or, The Secrets of a Robber's Cave is an 1850 chapbook based on Percy Bysshe Shelley’s 1811 Gothic horror novel St. Irvyne; or, The Rosicrucian.

02 "Horsethief Springs"

In the post-Civil War 1800s, outlaws including Jesse James and the Daltons would hide out near the natural spring on Winding Stair Mountain and ambush passing travelers.

J.J. McAlester's trading partners were based out of Tupelo, supplying the founding of McAlester, Oklahoma and its trading post.

04 "Kimes' Coffins"

Matthew Kimes was an Oklahoma bank robber, murderer, and brother of George Kimes; who led the Kimes Gang in the 1920s. The Kimes brothers began their outlaw ways as little more than petty thieves at a young age but quickly moved on to bank robbery.

05 "Grapes In The Press"

We are the grapes in the wine press of God's wrath; a reference to "The Grapes of Wrath:, of course.

"It happens that every man in a bank hates what the bank does, and yet the bank does it. The bank is something more than men, I tell you. It's the monster."

06 "Right Handed Lightning Whelk"

Lightning Whelk have a left-handed shell (shell opening to the left with shell spire pointing “up). Abnormally right-handed Lightning Whelks are very uncommon, but may be found on rare occasions.

07 "By The Burro's Grave"

Jesse James' stolen gold is supposedly hiding, there. Many have spent a great deal of time hunting for the lost treasure. "Follow the trail line coming through the mountains just east of the lone hill where we buried the jack [burro]. His grave is east of a rock. This contract made and entered into this V day of March 1876. This gold shall belong to who signs below."

08 "Wandering the Keechi Hills"

Looking for the buried gold. Ain't found nothin' yet.

09 "Embers At The End"

The campfire is going out.
