A project to document the creative process of writing and recording a new album.
In the first phase I will post rough demos of 2 new songs each week. Some of the songs are brand new, some are a little older, all of them are mine.
I guess the idea is to figure out which ones have the most potential to record in a full band (more rock & roll) setting, adjust, and record a new record with a band. Then I guess I'll have to sell out, make millions, and retire in the Hollywood Hills...
Stylistic and editing suggestions and comments are welcome.

Here's the first song - Faithful
Here's the first song for this EPIC project. I wrote this over the weekend and recorded it tonight.
Not all of the songs I put up here will be brand new, but this one is.
Hey Greg, we should figure out a way to do some kind of Postal Service recording situation. I wonder if you could send me the tracks and I could experiment with them? Sounds kind of fun. Maybe I could send tracks your way and you could do the same thing. We could experiment with both live sounds and loops. What do you think? The only barrier would be the process of sending the tracks back and fourth. After we figured it out you could post some of the stuff you like on this blog.
Wow Greg this is great- you have a wonderful voice: I had no idea! Good work.
