DAYLIGHT
A reggae tune Mary and I wrote, our friend Brett played the HoT DW drum kit. Sadly the SSD these were recorded on fried and the original tracks were lost.
AIRPLANE OVERHEAD
One of the last instrumentals I did before my big cancer surgery. It was a nice floaty song, I saw a little plane in the sky outside the studio and that seemed like a good name for the song.
AFTER MIDNIGHT
Recorded around Thanksgiving 1989, after I came home from a big installation project. I did this with a Peavey 4-track cassette deck, anHR-16 drum machine and a MMT-8 midi sequencer sync'd to the tape deck.
RESTLESS WATERS
My friend Amy wrote this song on her nylon string acoustic guitar and I recorded it with my B-16. When my studio was at its peak I had a variety of players come in and contribute to the recording.
The lead guitar part was a full Marshall stack of two, 4x12 vintage Marshall cabs, with a 100 watt JCM 800 head, set with everything wide open. We put that speaker stack in the middle of the 3500-sq ft studio (18-foot ceilings). That massive room ate up all the volume, it sounded great in the control room with the door open. It was a fun evening recording the lead guitar parts on Jimmy Griffins 18th birthday, we paid him with a bag of McDonalds. All the lead guitar tone came from Jimmy's fingers, he was plugged straight into the dimed-out Marshall head with a 30-foot guitar cord.
