CD finished
"I have a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell!" - with apologies to Saturday Night Live.I've disappeared from the blog world for a little more than a week so I could put on the finishing touches to my new instrumental CD "More Cowbell". I think these songs are the best ones this amateur musician has ever made. I am really happy with the songs. No vocals because I can't sing but I did the drums, bass, electric and acoustic guitars, piano, organ, and synthesizers. My favorites are "Fill Your Hand", "Big Red Boogie", "Harvest", and "Moonlight". It is a learning experience for me and I am pushing my meager talents to the limit with each new song. As I make more tunes I think they will continue to evolve and become more interesting and complex. The experience is very rewarding and I am having a ball with it. For these songs I used several keyboards, my old Gibson Invader, Gibson SG, Gibson ES-335, Reverend Slingshot Custom, Fender American Fat Strat, and acoustic guitars by Martin and Blueridge. I also used some synth programs on the computer for drums and strings. Recording and mixing was done on my home computer with help from Fender Blues Deluxe
and Martin acoustic amplifiers as well as various microphones and effect boxes.
If you would like to listen to the new CD, it is located HERE.
I would greatly appreciate any feedback or rating vote on the site.

How fun is that? I checked out a few songs and left you a review.
Hi Ken,
Congratulations on your CD! I had no idea you were that involved with music. I left you a comment under the comment you left me with you song link on my blog. I was really surprised you would take the time to come up with a song for me. It is very kind of you. I couldn't get it to play on my computer, but I'm working on that, so I will hear it eventually.
I was going to say, I hope things have improved for you at work, but I just remembered it's summer, so you're probably not at the school. I hope you and your family are doing well. I will listen to your music as soon as I can get the songs to play.
Take care!
Woah - he makes music TOO! Lovely.
Now I have listened through your CD. :) My favorite one is "In my life" cause I find it to be very calm and harmonious.
I like your CD a lot. It's not the kind of genre in music that I would listen to, but I like it even so. It's really nice and relaxing.
Keep up the good work!
