Family Tree - Son's MusicWhen
my father got his reel-to-reel tape recorder in the
1950's, he put the
microphone in front of my mouth and
said, "Sing." And I did and
kept singing into microphones
for many years to follow. I
also put the cassette player
in front of my son when he was rehearsing
his school
songs at age 6. Although there are a lot of funny
moments on the tape, I only included my favorite
funniest one here of Son doing his best 6-year
old
version of gospel singing Way Down
in Bethlehem. Since
I don't own the copyrights,
I'm also including only partial clips of
two of my
favorite songs that he wrote. The first is an
instrumental called When the Shit Hits
the Fan
that he did circa 1997 or 1998
on the computer and synthesizer.
The third
one is a song from his very last solo project
before
disbanding his recording studio and
selling all his equipment to travel before
he moved into his photography work. He
wrote the music and
lyrics, played all the
instruments and sang. I believe that one
is
called Had Enough. These are just
some of
the photos of some of his bands and projects.
We have somevideo of live performances saved
on CD also.
