Forgive the lousy performance and intonation of these two, the point was to just capture the general idea of the tunes, not create something CD quality. Another uke tune with no title other than 'E-Minor.' The second tune is called 'When' which will be one of my favorites when I can get the time to write some words for it. The lyrical idea is about what it will be like at some distant point in the future to look back on right now. I get very sentimental about the idea (more than usual), knowing that life is going to change so much down the road. It's just about the most bittersweet thing I can think of.

From the Abyss...
I'm always getting behind on music. I've been writing so much that some of it gets lost in the shuffle. I'll have a half hour to play and come up with something that I won't remember later. I'm losing less than I used to though thanks to modern technology.
I'll spend some time posting tunes I managed to rescue from the abyss...
A little uke tune probably influenced by 30s Duke Ellington or Cab Calloway:
Raisin' Cain
A 7 minute guitar composition with 'dropped D' tuning, I've got some words for part of this:
Tin Roof
