Making music... so you don't have to.

Happy Anniversary


Six years ago today, I married my best friend. At the reception, I borrowed the bands acoustic guitar and played a song for my wife. Here is the original song written and performed by Jim Boggia. Happy anniversary baby. I love you.

That, For me, Is You

Apparently my music ability (or lack thereof) runs in the family. I thought people would enjoy my four year old's rendition of "Mandy". I sure did...

I'm Thankful...


Another long commute in the car with nothing but a FourTrack recorder in my hand and the upcoming holiday on my mind. The following is what I did today while driving and thinking about how thankful I am for my muse (my wife) and about how distressful our economic situation is here in the U.S.A.

Enjoy!

What's it like?

You know, people often ask, "Jeff? What's it like to be a songwriter?"

It's a difficult question to answer. Luckily, I found a video that pretty much sums it up. I hope this helps give you some insight into what we songwriters go through. Enjoy.

FourTrack!


So this morning I went to the Apps Store on my iphone, downloaded an app called FourTrack and proceeded to test it. The following mp3 is what I created... Did I forget to mention that I did all this on my drive to work! It took me about 15 minutes from download to final mp3. This application is awesome. I suggest anyone who is into audio or songwriting to pick up this little gem. It's a really great find.

For everyone imagining that I was swerving from lane to lane trying to type on my smart phone... It should be noted that I didn't do this in moving traffic. Most of it was done sitting still in bumper to bumper traffic on an LA freeway. Safety first.
