The Art of Unplugging

To stay creative and in touch with reality these days… DANG, in my opinion,  you just have to step away for a bit from the internet, smart phones, iPAds, Facebook and the myriad of other brain sucking tunnel vision technology that we all have been dealing with  this past decade!

Tomorrow at Noon, I say goodbye to technology for a week; NO phones, NO internet…. just life!!!  Other than keeping my digital camera ready to catch video or amazing still images for later digital consumption of course 🙂

DURING  MY UNPLUGGED WEEK “Please, I need your help!” As I posted on Facebook yesterday, I’m having a hell of a time nailing down a name for this debut album. Any ‘name’ suggestions  you can come up with are more than appreciated… they will earn you an album credit and a secret surprise I have been dreaming up.

So please post your ideas for the album name in the comments below…

Here are the song names (in NO particular order) to get your juices flowing:

Rock The Water
Three Guitars
The River Runs
Mr. Maker
One & The Same
Alexander Keith
To The Moon & Back
Pick Up The Phone

Pick Up The Phone- Guitar Studio Work

In the continued fashion of inviting you into the studio to share with me the recording of my album,  here is my acoustic guitar session on Pick Up The Phone.  I posted earlier that this will be a song that you will either love or hate… no in between on this one!

Nuff said… here is the video!

Guitar Work On ~To The Moon & Back

Shot a little video last week at Bedside Studio for ya! I’m not sure if you enjoy these vids of partially done songs, but it’s REAL nonetheless (vocals not done, back ups needed, and a whole lot of tender love and care still to go)! So much work and love goes into this process its hard to fathom sometimes… Wow, did I just call that work. Umm, let me replace that with ‘living the dream‘.

Hope your having a great summer!!!

Cheers,

Lee

The Brolo

I’d like to think I’ve invented a new musical term…. but probably not 🙂 Anyway, here is a very short video and a few pics  shot while recording a take of the 2nd bridge/solo of a song called Rock The Water. Since its NOT a bridge and NOT a solo I here by decree my first BROLO!

Anyway! Album is coming along and is still on target for a fall release. Thanks to everyone who keeps encouraging me to push on… ( it means more than you’ll ever know)!!!

Cheers,

Lee
