My music and covers

Guilty by Randy Newman. 

A friend, Mike, and I use to jam, often in shopping center parking lots.  He sang bits of this song, and it interested me.  I look up the lyrics and was struck by the desperation.  That is a blues song if there ever was one.  I created the backing track in Band in a Box, and then dubbed my voice in instruments to the backing track.  The song has been recorded many times. 
I Think My Mamma Loves  By Ted Nation   This is my song. This is the 3rd time I'd performed it. This was a few days before July 4. The band is Pete Johnson's Show Band. We were at the Del Mar Fair Grounds at the San Diego County Fair. Flubbed my own song, but had a good time anyway.
There Stands The Glass  By Russ Hull, Mary Jean Shurtz, and Audrey Grisham 
This song was already old when I first heard it in my pre-teens. I started with a purchased backing track. I removed everything except the rhythm guitar, drums, a violin. Then I added my voice, then my harmonica, then my bass clarinet, then the bass guitar, then a three string cigar box guitar.
