Here
is all the childrens music you can stand- Lite hearted music with energy and
thoughtful messages of fishcakes and birthdays- Guitar, Vocals, drums, keyboards,
banjo, mandolins and songwriting. Charles and his friends are storytellers
too- check out the stories page.
When
I first met Michael in Austin I was impressed and inspired. Here was an educated,
somewhat edgy poet with beautiful delivery and style. I bought his CD that
had several of his poems, I took the CD home and started putting music to
his words. I used this little project as a way to inspire Parker to write
lyrics and to take his lyrics seriously, and I would say "take an academic
approach to poetry and it can be intelligent and edgey at the same time".
Cinco
Dudes - Houston, TX 1986-1992 were Cow Punk, then rock then Funk Rock- The dudes
performed SXSW several times and traveled the Southeast in search of beer. Opened
up for many cool bands like They Might be Giants, Soul Assylum, Dinosaur Junior
and True Believers. We also enjoyed the Houston Music scene of the late 80s
and early 90s, with bands like Fab Motion, Monster Zero, Sprawl and Mulberry
Jane and many more.
David
on guitar and vox, Jody Jarrett on bazzoki, guitar and vox, Kevin on drums,
me on guitar and one other guy who now produces cool trnace ambient music. This
project yielded no CDs, no cassettes, just live recordings that I will get around
to linking here. Although the band did not live long, it was a good band and
we had fun.
Okay
maybe I will start my own band, okay will you play drums- three years later
we finally recorded some tunes and played one gig, we were playing and having
fun.
Instant
Music Project- the brain child of Scott Flory and his buds from work, bands
in progress and children dressed as spiderman comes an instant song every
Wednesday night from Fairfax, Scott and his studio are also available for
cool projects. I participated late 2005 and early 2006- it still lives, and
it needs a whole bunch of beer.
