Ghost Train RadioEl Triciclo Del Diablo
Another simple song, just guitar and Farfisa organ.
Spectral Orb
What does Sussex County, Spectral Orb and Ikea have in common? That’s right, nothing. Today I did upholster “ol’ Chrome Domes” high back chair and also finished the two bookshelves. His Chromium DomeReflects the moonlightLike a Spectral OrbIn the middle of the nightA ghastly siteHis hairless headScares many a child You’d think he was DeadHe’s not a clownBut something far worseHis old beat up…
Haunted Harvest Moon
Well, today is the first day of my favorite season. Last year was a total disaster and write off. Autumn was all but ruined by both the smoke from the fires, Covid, and the biggest asshole I’ve ever experienced – Dirtbag Trump. That year of politics running up to and even past the election was a total dumpster fire. This year we were spared…
The (spineless) Protagonist
Today was great for a Monday. I was lamenting the end of the weekend late yesterday (my weekends are as close to perfect as you can get). But work was great today. Crazy how I still like work after 40 years in I.T. Guess I chose the right career! OK, ol’ “Floppy Disk” needs a spine so he can sit in this chair (well,…
Halloween 666 Series #3: The Death of Radio
When I thought about The Raven and quite a few poems and stories that Poe wrote where he suffers the loss of his young wife, I asked myself if I have lamented anything like that in my life. The answer is luckily, no. My relatives who passed lived a good life and a full life – so while sad, it felt natural and normal….
Halloween 666 Series #1: Haunted House
I will have a series of 6 Halloween Scenes, with 6 songs, and Its just over 6 weeks until Halloween.
Lord Huron Review
Mine Forever is the best rock video I’ve seen in 10 years and their music is right up there with Blanche. This is the song and video I wish I did. It’s super inspirational – something that really stokes my motivation to try to write something remotely as good. They have a great sound complete with violin and theremin. In other songs they use…
Unhappy Acres
I realized that while the cemetery model looked cool from a certain perspective, it didn’t work for the photographic intentions that I have. Today’s song was a blast. Fender Thin Telecaster, Gretsch Lap Steel, Piano and Bass. I thoroughly enjoyed playing every part.

Happy Acres
I got the haunted house painted black yesterday and also built the “Happy Acres” cemetery fence and gate built. I’ll use these for my next several photo shoots. I plan on having one for Autumn / Harvest Season, one for Halloween, and one for Thanksgiving. Then its Christmas and beyond. Today’s song is meant to be a soundtrack to the cemetery, again, loosely in…
