Buck Provisions
This song is about a boy walking with his dad while hunting.

Surf Drum Solo
I recorded this drum solo after having had a break from live performance for a while.
I set my drums up and this flowed out of me.

This patriotic tune is a reminder of the ever so important American holiday.

Multididdles
Ah, the fun we can have with paradiddles.

This is my global warming recording.

Bo Diddley Drum Solo
If nothing else, this was a lot of fun with a flanger!

Burning Oil
The musicians performing are myself, Pete Labourdette on Guitar and Ron Peddle on bass.
Mixed and mastered by Jon Etnier in Cape Elizabeth Maine.

This song describes the importance of an extremely important decision.

Arlene
I created this tune after a gig at Arlene Grocery in Manhattans' Lower East Side and upon returning to New Hampshire.

My original band Free Treats performed this song many times. This take was recorded live at The Cafe on the Corner,

Open Window is a dynamic vocal and instrumental duo,
if I do say so myself.

We've played quite a few shows in our over two year existence.

Seacoast wind Ensemble
The Seacoast Wind Ensemble is a 60 piece group devoted to music excellence.
It's an honor for me to be in the band this year helping with the percussion section,
which is pretty good. We have some talented drummers in the band.
Of course, the horns are what people come to see with this group.
