This is called the Odds and Ends page because I haven't decided what to do with them yet. Some of these tunes will probably make it onto a new CD at some point in the future. Most of these tunes are covers but every once in a while I will slip an original in here. Unless otherwise noted, I play all instruments and sing all vocal parts on all of these songs.

| I'm Yours |
A song with rapid fire
words |
Jason Mraz |
| That Thing You Do | From the Tom Hanks movie of the same name which is one of my favorite movies of all time. I think I was channeling the Oneders (Wonders) during the recording Heather did some excellent clapping through out this tune | Adam
Schlesinger (of Fountains of Wayne fame) May he rest in
peace |
| Rhythm of the Falling Rain | Ricky
Nelson and the Cascades both recorded this tune. Paul
played drums on this tune. |
John Claude Gummoe (from the Cascades) |
| Fragile |
A
Sting song I really like. Thanks to Paul and Judith for
helping with this tune. I used the mellotron that I
designed and built in this recording. The flute sounds
and the ethereal chorus sounds are from the mellotron.
The result is rather dark so that is why I did the
recording below without this instrumentation. |
Sting |
| Fragile Acoustic |
This recording of Fragile
is just me and my Godin guitar. I recorded the nylon
string guitar direct in addition to recording the nylon
string guitar voice of the GR-33 synth to which the
Godin was attached at the same time. So there are not
multiple guitars in this recording, just multiple guitar
voicings. |
Sting |
| Mister Spaceman |
An
old Byrd's Song. Paul played drums on this tune and
Chris played bass. |
Jim
McGuinn |
| Got You On My Mind |
Eric
Clapton tune. Paul sings lead and plays drums on this
one. Chris plays bass and lead guitar. |
