Description : I was playing with a friend the other day. Doing seek ye first. I recognized the chording to something else. Kanon in C by Pachabel. Recorded by george Winston on his CD December. I've changed the tempo and added a part for a chorus or bridge. Working on lyrics too. Even though I like it as a instrumental piece too. This is just a start on this. Recorded with my new guitar. Plugged straight in and no effects.
Description : Silly and juvenile. There is no gas shortage. At least I don't have one. Harmonica and vocals recorded together. One take.
Description : Dan put music and sounds to my Accapella. I'm a believer in acts of random kindness. True joy and happiness is when we help others. Think back to anytime you did something for someone else expecting nothing in return. The pure joy you felt doing so.
Description : Dan contacted me about colaberating on Four gray walls or Standing at the end of the world. He sent me this music. for Standing. I thought four fit better. but after recording it. I realized the car effects weren't right for it. So I wrote Drive. Sent it to him and he tweaked his part and here it is. He has posted it in parts unknown. I did this singing and also spoken. Went with spoken. It's a pretty dark piece. I love the music and effects he used.
Description : A couple of years ago a few of us started going to the "Safe House" down town Atlanta. I would do praise and worship and then my partner would preach. Then we would feed 100 to 200 homeless people. I wrote this song and they liked it a lot. Even in the jail they like it. Something about the concept of I've seen better days. I had a long day today, with a funeral and shopping to cook breakfast for about 40 people tomorrow. I just needed to unwind and record something. I've been wanting to post this song for a while too. I'm also working on my recording skills too. To try to get better before I record a couple of things for some of my friends on looperman.
I hope you like it.

Description : This might be spitrual, not nessicarilly religous. Sunday morning my wife and I packed up the car before church so we could go straight to the lake afterwards. As we entered church early we herd the choir practiceing "Let it rain" A simple song, yet a favorite of mine. During service all the songs were about rain. I got to thinking how I've always wanted to do a song about rain. Think CCR and everyone else. So I planed to sit at the lake and work on it. Well it looked like rain so we didn't go. Monday night at jail it was lightly raining as we went in.After I did praise and worship I play softy in the back ground and came up with this. It was a bad storm out side and I'm thinking about my lyrics. Softly falling rain my but. As we left the other 2 guys had umbrellas that the wind destroyed and we all got soaking wet.
I would compare this to Jim Croche or John Denver.
I usually don't say what I think about my songs, but I really like it.

Description : Religous, Came up with the music for someone else, but I put the little bit of lyrics to it to show her the melody line. And it just ended up being something that I play ocassionally. You old rockers should find the intro and exit familar. Didn't do to good of a job on the vocals though.
Description : This song has kind of an Allman Brothers feel to it, with the Esus, E chords at the start. Never wrote the lyrics down for a long time and would just make up verses as I went along. finally wrote down a couple of the verses but only did one here. Very religious song. I hope you enjoy.
God bless,
Blair
Description : Redo again sax volume back up a little changedFX. Redo. Redid levels. Added FX to sax. Took a little out. Changed endng. Havent added bass line yet. First attempt at Jazz. All done with loops. Took about 3 hours. I'm really starting to like this software program. Still need to learn how to import loops to the software though. I'd say it's sax with an orchestra behind it. Trevillion would say it's Like a bunch of snakes in a spoon drawer.
Description : Took House song Fast and added Vocals. Don't think I've ever heard Religious to house music before. Did the vocals on the fly even though I've worked them inn my head for a day. Just never wrote anything down. Little Rap and some singing.
Description : First attempt using loops from my software. Took 2 days and had a lot of fun. Lot of changes and a good bass line.
I guess it's dance. I don't really know.
Description : Little acoustic thing I do as brackground music sometimes. Didn't know what to do so just threw in some chord changs in the middle. Title is part sounds to me like a light rain and capo up high gives it a harp sound kinda.
Description : Advisory
This track may bring on psyhchotic episode. If the melody gets stuck in your head you may turn into a mass murderer.
Smurf rap. I tried to put in some guitar but couldn't get the timing right. Some FX would be good too. Used 3 drum loops.
Be carefull, I did this to get even with Helven for doing that britney thing.

Description : Another song from the CD. When the Song writing group started V. was pregnant and told my wife how it was a miracle baby in her 40's she had tried for a long time to get pregnant and was told she couldn't. With much prayer she did. A friend even told her not to go the envitro route because God told her in a dream that she would get pregnant. On hearing bthe story my wife told her she ought to write a song about it. Her Holy Gift.
