Posted some songs I wrote a long time ago...


TESTIFY

Wrote it to get my wife. It worked. LOL


A MILLION WAYS

Just a good classic ballad


Let me know what you think.

Nice stuff, man!

Vox a lil muddy but overall it's not too bad...I liked Go, too.

Thanks bro!

And yeah, the recordings were not good.

Go! I re-recorded, it sounds a little more balanced now, but I think I don't have the right voice for it. I like the song itself though.

I wrote 4 songs this past weekend. Was in the mood I guess. Haven't had the chance to record them yet though.

I like the songs, Craig! I'm hearing a real diversity in your music that has kind of caught me by surprise. You are very well rounded. I think "A MIllion Ways" is a great showcase for your voice. Keep 'em coming!-(that's not a reference to "GO!"-good song as well!).

Nice mix of styles bro, but I have to disagree with you I think you have the perfect voice for Go. Touch of class there man. Thanks for the Jams.

Thanks brother. I guess that's the reason I decided to post some of my "other" stuff. I started writing music since I was about 12. And I learned early on that I could write anything. I've written country songs (even though I've never been a big consumer of country) and I've even written polkas before, just to see that I could. LOL - I've written minuets, and waltzes, standards that sound like they are from the 20's or 30's. I love a really vast array of music, and I think that helps me be able to be versatile in writing it.

Well, the cigarettes are killing it. I've gotta stop soon.

LMAO!! That gave me a good belly laugh bro. Thanks!

Thanks brother man!

The wifee is promising me a high-end keyboard/workstation within a few months. You'll see a HUGE improvement, in the stuff I put out then. I can't wait!!!

I've put my wife and step-kids first always, and me last. That's just being a man, to me. But it means I have occassionally had to sell my high end music equiptment, that is not always quickly replaced. Financially, I think we're finally about to see some light, and she wants me to be able to get stocked up on the stuff I have lost, and even better than what I have given up.

I've given everything I have for her and the kids, and she loves me for it, and is VERY supportive of my music.

The kids, 3 of them, I guess because of me, are ALL very interested in music, singing and playing instruments, so secretly, I'm laying the groundwork for a Partridge Family thing for the future. LOL

I know what your saying here Craig. My two daughters are grown and my sons are 12 & 13, trumpet and violin. I've made a lot of sacrifice for them. I've also been known to work seven days a week three jobs just to by toys for ME.
Looking forward to your knew Keys and my new amp. Sounds like you have a good wife like mine. What a blessing. Here's to music!

Craig,

Good songs both.

I would like to hear "A Million Ways" rerecorded with only your voice and your Mom's Steinway. (if y'all be takin' requests) ...later...

John
