Feel The Wind  (Finally!)

My first and only CD album.

I labored for years to create and released it in 2002. It was truly a labor of love. Hence, why I called it “Finally!”. It seemed a fitting name because of how long it took me to finish.

I’ll be adding more detail about it’s creation soon. From writing the songs to selecting and playing all the instruments, arranging them, doing all the vocals, mixing, mastering and producing the CD content. It was a lot of work. And, it was all done whilst working as Software Engineer for Hewlett Packard. But that’s another story…

The physical CD is available to anyone who would like one for free. I had to get 1,000 made as that was the best price point back then. Needless to say, I still have a lot them. Send me an email if you’d like one. If the cost of shipping is nominal, I’ll pay for it.

In 2009-2011 I was in a band first called “Trickle Effect” and then “My Hero”. We did a wide variety of 70-80 rock songs with me helping with vocals and playing backing guitar and keyboards. We did gigs until the record companies shut down the places where we played due copyright constraints. 

 

It was a sad day. Before then, we built a studio in the barn of one of members and had a great time playing together. I miss those days. We eventually broke up as musical interests diverged. I’ll be adding more pics soon. I may have a few recordings from back then if folks are interested.

We had a friend take several photos of the band. This is one of me in the foreground. We each had a turn posing in the foreground. 

 

It was a fun day at an abandoned trestle track in the country. We thought looking serious was the thing to do when posing for band photos, ha ha.

 

I loved the site and trestle. It had such a great historic vibe.
