At rehearsal with Windhaven last night I had an epiphany. Victoria suggested that we try my song “This Old Dawg”, so we gave it a go. I didn’t really know what to play, so I started playing the song’s bass riff on my 12-string acoustic. Doug jumped in on the congas, and Victoria joined in… Continue reading Windhaven's Indie Acoustic Fusion

In Your Eyes
[podcast]http://www.wicasta.com/music/mp3/inyoureyes.mp3[/podcast]Windhaven’s cover of Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes” was completed on June 30, 2010. Love I get so lost, sometimes Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart When I want to run away I drive off in my car But whichever way I go I come back to the place you are All my… Continue reading In Your Eyes
Hallelujah
[podcast]http://www.wicasta.com/music/mp3/hallelujah.mp3[/podcast]Windhaven’s cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” was completed on June 27, 2010. Now I’ve heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don’t really care for music, do you? It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing… Continue reading Hallelujah
Freedom

Sometimes I… Continue reading Freedom
Re-Imagining The Blog
I think anyone who has read my Blog for any length of time knows that I’ve sort of been casting about in the wilderness. None of the usual stuff I’ve talked about for years will fly anymore. I’ve have too many loved ones and relatives waiting around to be offended by the things I say… Continue reading Re-Imagining The Blog
If I Build It… Okay, How’s That Go Again?
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how to better use this web site. The main page here hasn’t turned out to be as dynamic as I’d hoped. Sure, there are a lot of links, and you can sift through a lot of information quickly, but for a lot of people it all sort of… Continue reading If I Build It… Okay, How’s That Go Again?
Windhaven
I haven’t been excited about any project in recent memory as much as I am excited about my acoustic trio, Windhaven (which I’m doing with Victoria Sadler and Doug “Wolf” Schwartz). It’s all such a new adventure. For all of us involved in this project, it’s very much a departure. For me, it means not… Continue reading Windhaven
This Old Dawg @ Rock The Space 2
If there’s one thing that drives me crazy as a musician, it’s when you bust your ass to record a really cool song, only to have it fall far short of your goals. One of my greatest disappointments of recent memory was “This Old Dawg”, which I first recorded in 2008. I’d only just started… Continue reading This Old Dawg @ Rock The Space 2
Wicasta @ Rock The Space 2
I’ve submitted my song, “This Old Dawg” (recently updated and featuring new vocals, new drums by Doug “Wolf” Schwartz, and new mixing and mastering), to MySpace’s Rock The Space 2 contest. Long story short, whoever wins the contest will be awarded a recording contract with MySpace Records, as well as $10,000 in Fender gear. I’d… Continue reading Wicasta @ Rock The Space 2
