From the Ashes to Whatever - Gary's Musical Blog: Can't Say No
http://ashestowhatever.blogspot.com/2011/11/cant-say-no.html
From the Ashes to Whatever - Gary's Musical Blog. Friday, November 11, 2011. Been waiting quite a while to get the umpteenth rewrite done on this one, then again a while to get a demo done. For me, it was well worth the wait. Can't Say No is one of the first ones I started writing when I went back to the chalkboard to start writing again. It's a swampy-bluesy kinda thing and I love what The Gator Hole. Did with it. Different type of song for me, so what else is new? November 11, 2011 at 5:05 PM.

From the Ashes to Whatever - Gary's Musical Blog: Second Demo In-Process
http://ashestowhatever.blogspot.com/2011/08/second-demo-in-process.html
From the Ashes to Whatever - Gary's Musical Blog. Thursday, August 11, 2011. After one critique on a song that I felt very comfortable with, I decided to go ahead and demo it. This is a little bit different tack than I've been taking. In the past I've gotten numerous feedbacks, but due to the recent spread of suggestions and my comfort level with "A Perfect Time," I decided to pull the trigger. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Bzz Bags - BYOB (Bring Your Own Bag): October 2010
http://bzzbags.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Bzz Bags - BYOB (Bring Your Own Bag). Sunday, October 31, 2010. Saturday Market - 10/29/10. It's starting to wind down toward the end of the 2010 season at the Eugene Saturday Market. But that just means we're winding up to the Holiday Market. Then a chance to catch our collective breath and get ready for 2011 - hard to believe. It was pre-Halloween fun and scary times this past Saturday. We almost had to run and hide from this very, very scary witch who wandered by. But, we stood our ground. And we can ...

Bzz Bags - BYOB (Bring Your Own Bag): September 2010
http://bzzbags.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Bzz Bags - BYOB (Bring Your Own Bag). Sunday, September 19, 2010. Saturday Market - 9/18/10. It was a wet one this past Saturday at the Eugene Saturday Market. So it was nice to have our 10 x 10 space with built-in protection from the elements. If you live in Oregon and don't go out in the rain, you must be living in the wrong place. That being said, we had quite a few people who are living in the right place and many came by and visited, shopped and browsed. Thanks to all. Links to this post. We keep ga...

From the Ashes to Whatever - Gary's Musical Blog: June 2011
http://ashestowhatever.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
From the Ashes to Whatever - Gary's Musical Blog. Wednesday, June 22, 2011. I had a private consultation with Alan Roy Scott. One of the tricky things is that writers all do it differently, so there is no formula. Duh, that's why art is art and not science, even though there's a lot of science to get to a point where you can be an artist. Oh, how damn simple. So, now I go back again the drawing board and classroom. I have no idea what this image has to do with this post, but somebody's groovin'.

From the Ashes to Whatever - Gary's Musical Blog: March 2011
http://ashestowhatever.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
From the Ashes to Whatever - Gary's Musical Blog. Tuesday, March 22, 2011. Studio From a Distance. I thought I'd document my first "real" studio experience as a songwriter as it progresses. I spent a number of hours in the studio years and years and years ago (damn, I'm old), but this was with bands and as a performer - different stuff this time around. Has been Grammy nominated and has won a Kennedy Center Award. Tuesday, March 15, 2011. Did the review and gave me some direction to. Monday, March 7, 2011.

From the Ashes to Whatever - Gary's Musical Blog: February 2012
http://ashestowhatever.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
From the Ashes to Whatever - Gary's Musical Blog. Thursday, February 23, 2012. Another demo studio return - this one is called "Again," a collaboration with a local songwriter. Not sure how I feel about what I got back from the studio on this one though. I think the musicianship was fine, but the vocal performance is what's weighing on me. I may sit on this one for a while, then redo the vocals, not sure yet. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Follow me on Twitter.

From the Ashes to Whatever - Gary's Musical Blog: May 2011
http://ashestowhatever.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
From the Ashes to Whatever - Gary's Musical Blog. Tuesday, May 31, 2011. As noted in a couple blogs ago, I am co-writing with a local writer. We have some bumps in timing, getting together, but I'm very excited about what's coming out of it. I took a draft to a SongU. Class and got some very positive feedback and an idea for some changes. Interesting that the change ideas were something that we had considered earlier in the writing process, but had not continued with. Well, I did and it is now duly noted.
