I created some of the backing tracks (drums, bass mostly) with a computer application called Cakewalk. But the 35 songs that I have so far have evolved over many years so I have some work that I want to change, time willing, others are newer and have better sound and are more like the original tunes.

I try to do as much live as I possible can without strapping cymbals to my knees.

The one live sound that surprised me was doing the lead part for Wreck on the 12 String. It actually sounds pretty good I thought. You can't hear much on the video, but its there a bit.

I happen to know Red Shea , he has taught many students over the years. When I mentioned to him that I might try doing the lead for Wreck with the 12 string ..he thought it would work. It seemed to.
