🎧 a Bob Marley Parody • a K-Ci & JoJo Cover

These next two recordings are some more of my first raw ones from months ago. Both of these were sent as voice text messages and were totally spontaneous and spur-of-the-moment. I had no idea that I was going to do either one in this fashion. Both are pretty lo-fi and were done without any of my studio apps, but I did try to clean them up a little bit.

I had planned on doing “No Woman, No Cry” by Bob Marley, but as I got ready to do it, this idea popped into my head to be funny with it and use an accent on my voice. Then suddenly, an inside joke between the person and me came to mind, and I changed it to “No Punani, No Cry.” 😆 For some of it, I was just making up lyrics as I went along. Lol.

For the second one, I was feeling like doing a ’90s R&B love song. In the moment, I was thinking along the lines of Boyz II Men or maybe Keith Sweat or something. Then suddenly, “All My Life” by K-Ci & JoJo came to mind, but I kind of ad-libbed it and did my own version completely out of the blue.

These two are different from my others, but I think it’s kind of cool how they turned out. Neither one was planned—they just happened in the moment. So I thought I’d share them.

Appreciate yall. Thanks for listening. 😎

A Shane & Shane Cover 🎧

My best friend once told me a story that has stuck with me.

His grandfather’s ship was destroyed and sunk by a Japanese torpedo during World War II. He was stranded at sea for four days, clinging to a piece of debris while his friends died around him. Some drowned. Others were eaten by sharks.

His grandfather had never been much of a praying man. Until that day.

He told God that if He would save him, he would commit the rest of his life to serving Him.

God saved him.

And the man kept his word.

He became a pastor and eventually founded a church. He served faithfully for years and years, giving of himself to others. He was a great man, and everyone thought highly of him. He walked the talk well into his old age.

Then one day, he was found dead in his study from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

No one knows why. No one knows what happened. He left no note.

Tonight, I found myself thinking about him and about all the times I’ve been in desperate situations and needed God. How He’s always helped me.

I thought about the second attempt on my life, when it was about to be over. The men around me had murder on their minds, and there was very little I could do.

So I prayed silently.

And in that moment, I felt the Lord beside me in a tangible way.

I knew I wasn’t alone.

I knew everything was going to be okay.

I don’t know what happened with my friend’s grandfather late in his life.

But I do know this

God has been there in my darkest moments.

And when I had nothing left

I had Him.

…

Here’s a Shane & Shane song I recorded a few months ago. I hope you enjoy.

Thank you for listening.

One Take From the Bathroom🎙The Man Who Couldn’t Cry

I’ve had this song on my mind all day. “The Man Who Couldn’t Cry” written by Louden Wainwright III in 1973—the year I was born—and later recorded by Johnny Cash in 1994.

So I listened to it a few times this morning. Then, while I was making dinner tonight, I put on my headphones and had it on repeat for about an hour nonstop.

After dinner, I went into the studio… aka the Bathroom. 🚻😛 I tried it for the first time, and this is the result.

🎙️Songs From the Bathroom #14

🎧 Covers From The Smashing Pumpkins

In the early 90s, there was a small little place on the north side of Atlanta called Triclops Sound Studios. Most of us locals had no idea what was happening there until years later.

From December of 1992 through March of 1993, Billy Corgan and The Smashing Pumpkins were there recording what would become the Siamese Dream record.

March of 1993 was also when the great blizzard hit the eastern United States. The band ended up snowed in at the studio for days as Atlanta pretty much shut down.

I drove by that studio many times and never had a clue what was happening inside. Honestly, I didn’t even know the place existed.

Courtney Love and Hole also recorded their Live Through This record there, and during that same time, Kurt Cobain was doing secret sessions at the studio. Other bands like Kansas and Matchbox 20 also made records at Triclops.

Today, the building is just an office space and a memory, but the music that was created there still lives on.

Here are two songs from the Siamese Dream record… “Today” and “Mayonaise.”

These are just practice recordings. This is the first time I’ve played “Today” since around 1998 or 1999 and “Mayonaise” is a special song to me. It’s beautiful and one of my all-time favorites.

From 2oO0 to 2oO6, when I was with “The Pond,” I performed it often. But I haven’t played either of these songs in years. So I was just having fun with them, revisiting some old favorites, and experimenting.

Thanks for listening.

🎧 Covers from The Spark & CAIN

Here’s two raw ones from a while back before I started using my current audio editing apps. I did try to clean them up some, though. The second is much better quality than the first.

Thanks for listening. Hope yall have a blessed Sunday.

Two Tears

I awoke at midnight…
no one to tell.

Then thoughts found feelings…
as my conscience dwelled.

There deep in my eyes…
two tears did swell.

🎙️Songs From the Bathroom #12 e̷d̷i̷t̷e̷d̷

🎧 Covers from Randy Travis • Keith Urban

I was talking with my uncle recently. He’s a guitar picker too.

He wanted us to jam today, but I told him my fingers are in pretty bad shape and that I’m giving them a few days.

We got on the subject of famous guitarists from the past. He mentioned Stevie Ray Vaughan and his struggles with his fingers, loading up on many pain pills before shows just to make it through. I don’t know if that’s true, but according to my uncle it is. I’ve done similar things over the years just to get by when i had to play, so I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of musicians have.

These next two songs were recorded recently, and I barely made it through them because of my current finger situation.

I’ve been listening to a lot of ’90s country the past few days, so I thought I’d share a couple.

Actually the Randy song was from 1989 and the Keith song was 2oO3 so I just lied lol they just felt ’90s to me 😁

Hope you enjoy, and thanks for listenin’ partner 🤠

🎙️Sunday Songs From the Bathroom #11

🎧 Covers from Lauren Daigle • Tenth Avenue North

I woke this morning with the blues… the Sunday blues, to be more exact.

I was reminded of Kris Kristofferson’s “Sunday Morning Coming Down,” and for a moment I could feel myself walking that lonely sidewalk. I could almost smell the fried chicken.

Then my heart turned to others.

So I decided to forget myself, pray for those whose blue is a much darker shade than my own… and maybe even try on their shoes for a little while in my head.

So about these songs…

For the Lauren Daigle song “Still Rolling Stones,” I decided to amp it up a bit with the guitar lick. This is the first time I’ve ever tried to play it, and I just thought I’d do it a little differently.

And “Worn” by Tenth Avenue North was actually the very first song from the bathroom that I ever posted. I hid it inside another post though, so it was easy to miss. I thought I’d share it again.

Hope yall have a blessed day.

🎧 Covers from Sister Hazel and Tonic

Hey everyone… hope you’re doing good this night.

So these next two are my very first ones that I did in the bathroom, both are a little more lo-fi and raw, before I started using Lexis Audio Editor… and before I knew I’d be posting them for everyone to hear. 😁

Hope you enjoy… thanks for listening.

🎙️Sunday Songs From the Bathroom #9

🎧 Victory in Jesus • When God Ran

Back in 2o18, I was involved in music ministry, and one Sunday I wasn’t feeling well. I was supposed to lead worship that evening at a men’s service for my good friend, Pastor Cecil Johnson.

Pastor Cecil had a message to bring, and he needed me there… so much so that he came in my room while I was sleeping, woke me up, told me he needed me to get up and come sing Victory in Jesus… 😄😁

Cecil was a great man of God. Sadly, he passed away a year later after a long battle with cancer.

There is a movie about his life called No Vacancy, starring Sean Young 🦸‍♂️ Dean Cain, and T.C. Stallings from War Room plays Pastor Cecil. It’s a really good movie, and I believe it will bless you. I encourage you to check it out.
