A funny thing happened on the way to setting up my new studio computer... I lost all the master files for Beatnick Country Album I released a couple years ago.

I had two choices to make, replicate the tracks exactly as they were recorded or just record the songs the way they have evolved over the past two years. In the end I decided to re-record the songs as they are now performed.

Some of the songs have taken on a life of their own and are quite different from what was originally recorded. So that's how it stands right now. What I will do when finished is still up for debate and I will keep everyone informed.
Next Show: May 29 @7:45pm cst

A couple months ago I ran across this company called StreetJelly. What they do is stream live performances without any archiving.

They promote it as online busking and that about sums it up. Anyone can go to the site and hear anyone with the green on-air sign. If they like what they hear they can always simply register and then tip the artist with 'tokens' they can buy from Pay Pal.

I usually do at least one show a week.
Hopefully I will catch you there.

Because the concerts on StreetJelly aren't recorded I thought it would be a good idea to record some songs exactly as I perform them and post them on this site.

Because I am redoing this site it will take a little time to post them, but they will be posted under the StreetJelly sidebar.
Live Song Performances

Finally near the end of the computer upgrade (I know it's new but...). Adding a high quality and high performance firewire card that will mate up nicely with my Echo Audiofire 12 (well it's supposed to anyway)

One odd thing I found out was that in order to get the Echo 12 to work with Windows 8 they dropped the 24/192 option. I'd read that they screwed up the audio engine on Windows 8. Looks like they were right and now I am doubly glad I went with Windows 7.
