As many of you know, I’ve recently started to build a bigger fan base (well, a noticeable fan base) through Facebook. In that effort, I’ve decided to start uploading my podcasts to YouTube to make them easier to share. So, I’ve decided to “rerun” the previous podcasts and rename (quite strikingly) the series as “Weekly Acoustic Podcast.” (I know, catch your breath!)
Anyway, the process of rerunning should take 2-3 months, and after that I’ll begin uploading new material.
This week’s song is “I’ll Be,” originally performed by Edwin McCain in the 90s. It is one that I sing with my band Town Crier.
My podcasts are recorded as just me on my acoustic guitar in my studio on my Sony ICD-SX700 voice recorder. Enjoy!
My site has been down for about a week, so this is posting late, but here is this week’s podcast.
I chose to play “Alone” off my album “Triad,” and my friend Phil Taylor talked me into covering one of his songs. I chose “Love Song” from his album “Tales of Love or the Lack Thereof” (recorded both by Phil and his former band Unborn).
I had a few moments of hitting the mic / other background noise on this. I’m not sure why, but just in case you hear it and wonder.
So I finally have returned to my promise of two podcasts a week. Not sure how long I’ll be able to keep it up, but it is how it is.
The songs this week are “All Along The Watchtower,” written by Bob Dylan, perfected by Jimi Hendrix (Yet another song I happen to be singing for Town Crier), and “Pieces” off of my Two Sides Of The Same Soul album.
Even though I decided to do two songs per week moving forward, this week I’m only doing one as my schedule is a little hectic.
The song I did is one of my favorites that I wrote called “Walls of a Dream,” and it’s off my album “Heaven.”
And, as usual, this is just me on my acoustic, in my studio, recorded on my Sony ICD-SX700 digital voice recorder, no modifications other than trimming at the beginning and end.

I am hoping to make this a constant habit: record a song about once a week just for sharing it here on my blog.
The song for this post is “I’ll Be” originally done by Edwin McCain back in the 90s. Nothing special, just me on my acoustic, in my studio, recorded on my Sony ICD-SX700 digital voice recorder.
I learned this song a few years ago, but my band, “Town Crier,” incorporated it into a set list, so I’ve been playing it a lot recently (and singing it), and this is my acoustic arrangement.
No modifications other than trimming at the beginning and end.
I finally decided to split “Jeremy Tharp” into a two CD album, and I’ve renamed it “Two Sides of the Same Soul,” reusing a lyric from “Love is a Hole.” Also I have posted a new song for that album (no recording yet though) as well as a song for “Sneaky Whisper.”
Not sure how long I’ll be able to keep it up, but it is how it is.
