Song Title: Life Without You

I recorded this one somewhere around 1990. Doug Brown played drums and I sang and played the rest. The background singers were Andrea (from Andrea and the Substitutes) and a great singer/guitarist named Frank Silano. The first line of the chorus was something my friend Dan Griffen said about his ex wife, and the song just wrote itself from there. Dan also wrote the Go Giants Go song parody that ended up being the anthem for the NY Giants back in 1986.

Recorded somewhere around 1988. Doug Brown on drums, me on the rest. I was always writing material that was out of my singing range, so I tried writing something that was very much in my range and let me 'explore the space.'

Recorded this one around 1989. This song was a complete experiment. I was learning to record using computers and midi, and needed a song to test it all out. I wanted to be able to record the drum parts, the bass parts and all the other keyboard stuff in my little condo in Carmel, then finish the rest of the tracks somewhere else. I was listening to an album by Paul Young at the time and I know that was a heavy influence. I tried to really stretch out on the bass track, using the modulation wheel to get some nice pitch bends that a standard bass couldn't do. That all happens toward the end of the song. Zzzzzzz. Sleeping yet?

Recorded this one around 1991. I was finally learning the art of "clever" lyric writing. Up to that point, my lyrics were pretty shallow and as soon as I could get a verse to rhyme, I moved onto the next verse! I really worked at this one. Forgive the sound of the recording. I was still experimenting with programming synthesized drums.

This is a song I produced and recorded in May 2007 for an amazing singer named
Laurie Naughton from Somer's NY. Laurie and I played in a band called Circus together for many years. She has gone on to become a very sucessful voice-over talent as well as a singer for commercials and other music artists. She has sung many songs in my studio for artists such as Jack Woodbridge and Valerie Ciptak/Viera. I'd love to share some of those with you as well and I'm working on getting their permission to do so.

Around February of 2007, some of my best friends invited me to a nearby pub and took out a portable CD player, gave me the headphones and said "listen to this and try not to get offended bro." I couldn't imagine what it could possibly be. So click on the link above to hear exactly what I heard that night. I wish I had video of my face when it finally ocurred to me what it was they had done. Amazing job brothers. Thank YOU! Vinyl Schmegma is: Steve Blot, Steve Broussard, Doug Brown, Anthony Lonigro & Jim Passabet.

Yes the classic by David Essex. This was done with my band Restless somewhere around 1987. I think it was Doug Brown's idea to do this song. He had this weird little wooden box that he used to play the intro. Doug supplied that absolutely amazing drum track, on bass was Greg Fiellin, and Steve Avitable on keyboards. I'm on guitar and lead vocals. This mix on this one sounds pretty complicated so I'm guessing we brought in Bob Giammarco to help us pull it off. I really hope you enjoy our arrangement.

I recorded this one by myself back around 1982. I bought a drum set, and put together a little recording setup in my bedroom in my parent's house. I played each part one by one, until it sounded like a band. I think this was the first and last time I ever played slap funk bass like that:-) I was big into artists like George Benson, Lee Ritenour and Steely Dan. I had this beautiful Gibson ES 335 CRR guitar which supplied most of the guitar parts. Anyway, this was one of my first multi-tracking attempts and hope you enjoy it.
