Text Box: All the songs on this page were written after I left the east coast to pursue a recording and or publishing career. None of the them are what I would consider a final mix. They are rough and ready mixes. I usually rely on someone much more technical and objective than I to tackle the chore of making my songs “radio ready.” I was originally headed to LA where I had made some connections from some of my earlier songs. I was very apprehensive about moving all the way across country so I decided on Nashville instead. It was a lot closer and considered a songwriters town. I lived in Nashville for about two years and although I couldn’t write a country lick I managed to stay true to my rock roots and write a few tunes. After this Damn Yankee wore out his stay in Nashville he moved to the sunny white sandy beaches of Destin, Florida. I haven’t gotten a tan or even a record deal but I wrote a bunch of new tunes and met some great musicians I’m jamming with. I may collaborate with a few and do some writing and recording.

I started out as Country Western

While living in Nashville I spent a lot of time at a local bar "Broadway Café." It was a great place to relax and have a few beers after a long recording session. Everyone was very friendly, a home away from home. They had different types of entertainment each night; blues night, open mic, karaoke, comedy, you name it! One night I got talking to a girl who was rather attractive. We sort of flirted back and forth but she was with a guy who appeared to be her boyfriend. When he got up to go to the "john," she walked over to me and quickly gave her y phone number. I called her a few times but because the guy she was with was actually her boyfriend I never went out with her. A few days later though, the incident gave me the idea for a song I call "In The First Place." The song tells a story so I won’t go into it. I really liked the song so I decided to bring it to a studio for a final mix rather than doing a rough mix on my own. I usually do this when I think a song really has potential. At the studio we decided to re-do the whole song over. Our equipment clashed and the producer felt he could do a better job with fresh new tracks. I agreed. He re-did the rythmn tracks on his own and I came in and did the vocals. I was very happy with the results but I still liked the feel of my original version.

I have a musician friend, Mark Griffin, who also has a lot of tech experience, listen to both versions. He liked the original version also thought the new vocals were of better quality. I decided to go back and do a better mix of the original version. Now there are two! So I am asking you to pick the one you like. Perhaps the winner will go on my next CD. I have a lot of older material that I plan on re-recording so I may ask you to help me choose from time to time. Your feedback will be very helpful and your interaction will be fun.
