Away From The Sun

This is my version of “Away From The Sun” by Three Doors Down. It was recorded on a Fender Stratocaster and looped. I then recorded the vocals over this choppy, no timing, song with little idea of what I was doing with my new software, Logic Express.

Starting Integration Of Blog Over!

New Comment System Working Again

This is a test of the new comments system!  I have it working again so that all the comments go back into the forum.  It is nice!  Beauty really!

Chris Daughtry Fan Club

You would think with all of the songs that I have managed to get my hands on and upload to my media section of the gallery that I am one of the greatest fans of Chris than anyone else! That is maybe true!

Chris Daughtry is a contestant on the American Idol 5 season and is by far my favorite and the one that I hope to win. He has done several great songs starting with his audition tape and has continued to rock songs out! I wasn’t as impressed with his performance tonight, but I am really excited to see what he comes out with next because Simon didn’t like the song tonight either….

I have an entire section now in the gallery to Chris, so check it out!
