The album is comming along.  I now have every track but one recorded.  Now for the mixing.

Blues Hat

I thought I'd post something to keep you guys interested while I work on my album.

Part 13 of 13: on the back of a map

Like the last song this one was written in a bar, unsurprisingly on the back of a map.  Its about being alone.

Here is the front and back of the liner notes which together makes a little comic:

This one I wrote in a bar on a napkin.  It sums up my feelings on politics and life.  Ron helped me with the riff for the bridge.

Part 10 of 13: 1,000,000

This one is pretty obvious.  I wrote the chorus about this girl that haunts me in my dreams.  When I start dating someone that girl becomes the person I'm dating, so she became my girlfriend of the time, Blue.  I wrote the rest of the song about Blue after a fight we had.

Part 10 of 13: Hell's Kitchen

I was told not to tell people what this song is about because it ruins the song, but if you google Hell's Kitchen and  Murdock you'll be on your way to solving the mystery.  Every story of a hero needs a mystery.

Part 8 of 13: Mexico

This song was written a long time ago.  The chord progression was the same as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle so I combined the two way back in the day.  Some people once told me that they like Mexico better when it was just Mexico.  Upon long consideration I agreed with them.

Part 8 of 13: Mickey's Ice

This is an older song that I originaly did in my 7songs sketchbook Xsongs in Ydays.  It has since appeared in couple of my 7songs.  Its about getting 40s with my friend Ian-Leif.  We settled on Mickey's Ice.
