Timeline


This is a complete list of every album I recorded in my own studio.  Some of these recordings are already up on this site and some are on their way.  Some, for one reason or another, may never make it.

You may notice that I use terms like "album" and "released" and "reissued" a lot, just as if I were amazingly famous and feeling justified in being pretentious. Maybe I am being pretentious.  But the fact is, I approached each one of these studio projects as if it were of great significance and highly budgeted, the latter clearly being not the case: practically all of them were recorded onto a Tascam Portastudio of some sort (except for the first four titles, which were recorded on an Akai two-track reel-to-reel; and "Passing Through" and "On The Other Side of Now," both recorded on an 8-track cassette multitrack recorder, a Tascam Syncaset 238). Many of these recordings were mastered to cassette, with multiple copies produced. Since I always enjoyed giving away my tapes for free, I never made any money from them. As you can see, I'm still doing that sort of thing on this site.

But not counting the dozens of tracks that are just singles or the many collaborations for which I've been an arranger and instrumentalist, these are the titles that represent much of my work as a songwriter, more than anything.   

The song you hear playing is "Breeze on the Shore," the very first recording I ever made on a reel-to-reel, recorded June 18, 1983.
