**HOME RECORDINGS, ETC.**
a revolving door of demos and odds-and-ends, past + present...

*Demos 2006*
"Jumper"
"Never Grow Old"

*2 covers (11/06)*
"Low + Wet" (D. Penta)
"Thin Sounds" (M. Scutari)

done in preparation for a nite of covers in Williamsburg; I like how these two came out--lilting and slightly off-kilter, it's two live peformances (gtr and voice) dumped together


*pre-2006 stuff*

"Extraordinary Sparks", recorded during the SBF&L fall; the extra, uncredited song on the EP (homemade CD-Rs)

here's a photo of the old cassette 8-track, now retired; I did the SOMEPLACE recordings and countless other things on it 2001-2004

my old piece: the dreamy TASCAM 488 mkII
