Here's a little song experiment I recorded about 4 years ago. Just found it on my computer and thought I'd put it up. HERE she is .

This is a Stephen Stills song which can be found on a couple of his albums. Some lyrics of the song are also in "Everybody I Love You" by CSNY's Déjà Vu. I recorded it a year and a half ago and it's just been sitting on my computer, so I thought I'd share it. HERE .

Graham Nash wrote this one called "Simple Man". A short piece of pop music that I decided to cover, don't ask me why. Get it HERE .

Traction in the Rain, from David Crosby's "If I Could Only Remember My Name" album. A bit of a long intro though... Get it HERE .

Finally a new update... this one is sort of from an Old and In the Way (bluegrass group with Jerry Garcia and John Kahn) live show that I have. It's also my first bluegrass tune :) Get it HERE .

I dug this one up from the Stoods archive. Me and Adrian playing 4+20 (Crosby, Stills...) in the way beginning of the studio. You can hear Gross using the staple gun for the "decorations" outside the room. Get it HERE .

Originally done by Led Zeppelin (III, 1970). I'm singing and Richie P. plays all the guitar. Sounds pretty good, get it HERE .

Simon and Garfunkel song, appears in "The Graduate". I'm doing guitar and vocals. I will probably make another version of it later, it's a fun song. Get it HERE .

This was one of the first songs we recorded. Don't listen too carefully, there are a bunch of glitches in the sound... :) The song is Dear Mr. Fantasy, written by Traffic. Adrian is playing guitar, I'm singing, and somebody else (I forget) recorded the bass. Get it HERE .

I'm happy to release this one. Originally written by Joni Mitchell, probably made popular by CSNY, Woodstock is a sweet song. Richard P. is playing guitar and I'm singing. Get it HERE .

The song is originally by Van Morrison. This one was recorded a while back in Gross' studio 85 in Montreal. The guitarist is Adrian "B" Gross, and it's me doing vocals. This one is a pretty decent quality recording and sounds good as a tune. Get it HERE .

This is based on the Jimi Hendrix song. It was played and recorded in David Gross' basement... also known as "Studio Loco" (just what I called it). In the "studes" that day, there was Richie Piasetsky (drums), Adrian Gross (lead guitar) and a Ben Wright (rhythm guitar), and me (David) singing. This one is pretty fun to listen to, and was great to play. Get it HERE .

Bob Dylan cover, from Desire. I must say the Dylan version is much better. I think my cover needs drums. My cover is also way way too fast, and I'm too lazy to re-record it. Darn. Get the song HERE

Paul Simon's "Graceland". This is an awesome song, one of my personal favorites (of singles and albums... not to mention artists). The recording was done in collaboration with Richie Piasetsky on guitar. Richie goes to Queens University in Kingston and is an amazing musician (guitar, drums, piano, kazoo). The song is slightly different than the original, but not horrible to listen to :) Get it HERE .

This is a Van Morrison cover from Astral Weeks (1968). This version has guitar and vocals and a really uneventful bass line (played on a guitar). It was one of the first songs I wanted to do, because of the challenge in terms of singing like Van. I think it could be a lot better, but as it stands I dont think it is that bad. :) Get it HERE .

This one is a Dylan song. This is one of the first songs I recorded. It has a strange harmony of a higher voice with a lower voice. I think it sounds pretty nice altogether. Get it HERE .
Fri, November 11, 2005
Beatles' cover. This one is a disgrace (in my opinion). Some of the vocals are flat, and the ending is just horrible... If you still want it, get it HERE .
Wed, November 02, 2005
I heard this song on The Basement Tapes, recorded by The Band and Bob Dylan. It is a "traditional prison song" and my version sounds quite like the one found on the Basement Tapes. The song has some harmonies created by multitrack recording, and also harmonica at the end of the song. This one is probably my favorite so far. Get it HERE .
Wed, October 26, 2005
I'll be making podcasts of all the songs I record, and they'll be put here! The first song I'll post is a Dylan cover, a Simple Twist of Fate . Everything is recorded (multitrack) in Garageband on my IBook G4.
