Favs Music Page

This page has the most recent tunes I have recorded.

For the most part I played all of the instruments used during these recording  (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, piano, synthesizers and various percussion instruments) and sing most of the vocal parts in every song. My friend, Paul Douglass, played the drums and congas on many of these songs and sings background vocals on others. Chris Redd played lead guitar on some as well. If you hear a nice lead part, it is probably Chris playing it.

-- I want to make one thing perfectly clear --
I record these songs with total respect for the artists that wrote and performed them originally. I never have and never will try to make any money on these recordings. These songs cannot be sold for any reason because I don't own the rights to most of the songs. I record these songs for myself, my family and my friends only, never to make money.

It is best to listen to these songs with headphones as that is how I recorded and mixed them. 

Song	Notes	Written By
Music On Hold	Because, as I noted below, I first heard this tune when put on hold, I decided to simulate the experience with this recording. Thanks to Heather for the pleasant music on hold voice.	Lindsay Tomasic
Brockview Mountain	In the last 6 months I have heard this song numerous times when I was put on hold when calling various companies. Every time I heard this song I said to myself that I needed to find out who wrote and played the song. I finally did a search and found Lindsay and her company that writes music and jingles for advertising. After I found the original recording, I learned the tune in about half and hour and then decided to record it. This is the recorded tune.	Lindsay Tomasic
Bristlecone Pine	I just recently heard this song at our friends House Concerts. We saw the Rifters and they played this tune and it just stuck in my mind.	Hugh Prestwood
Major Tom Coming Home	A response song to David Bowie's Space Oddity. Different from the original, this tune is guitar based instead of synth based though synth's do play a part.	Peter Schilling
Fur Elise	Now for something entirely different. One of Beethoven's most loved tunes that was only discovered and published 40 years after his death.	Ludwig Van Beethoven
You and Me	Paul played drums on this tune.	LifeHouse
Flowers	A new tune I just recently heard. The 495's gave this tune the treatment with Paul playing drums and Chris whipping out a great lead guitar part.	Real Estate
Part of the Plan	Another great song from a talented singer/songwriter. This is a very early version that will be evolving for a while.	Dan Fogelberg
Be Free	A short version of a Loggins & Messina song I have always liked and never thought I could do.	Jim Messina
Desperado	An old Eagles song that is one of my all time favorites	Glen Frey, Don Henley
Hey Hey	An original song that I wrote with an Island vibe	Me
I'm Yours	A great song from a talented singer/songwriter Paul played percussion and Chris played lead	Jason Mraz
Mexico	A favorite James Taylor song	James Taylor
Under The Boardwalk	A song almost everyone on the planet has heard and mostly know the words to	Artie Resnick, Kenny Young
