Mark and Dean tracking Slide Guitar

Dean and I got together recently, got our waders on and took a walk through a southern swamp to channel Duane Allman for some paranormal inspiration to help us with tracking slide guitar parts to a new Funny Money song called “Right Things To Me.” The other rhythm guitars were already recorded using a ESP baritone guitar, a Randy Rhoades Super Lead Special Edition Marshall and my trusty ‘76 Hiwatt Custom 100 DR103, rumored to actually have been looked at by Pete Townshend himself once. Normally I wouldn’t use a POD to record a spotlight guitar track, I usually restrict PODs to overdubs only (and only if I don’t feel like going all the way downstairs to fire up the fire-breathing real amps), but the POD X3 Pro I have has some really cool mushy tremolo teeth-pullin greasy electric blues sounds, just reeking of stinky swamp gas. Perfect for what we wanted to do. Dean was noodling around with the chord progression on the slide and I thought it would be a good idea to use that as an intro. So check it out, it is once again a LONG video but there are some good comedy moments and Dean tracked some great parts. Go on YouTube and give us some ratings and comments for this video will ya?

Dean Tracking Solos

Hey all! Here’s a video of Mark and I re-recording the solo to my tune “Paradise” – again. The original version of it, which is available on the Sampler CD’s that have been sold up until now, is very close to this one (or vice versa), I did change one little section in the middle. This should be the final version of it…

As you can see, the recording process goes soooo smoothly… I tend to prepare my solo’s ahead of time, for the most part, but occasionally will wing it, hoping for happy accidents. Obviously, if I don’t like the results, no one but Mark and I will hear them, so consider yourself “special”, hahahaha! We’re also working on the new FM record, with several tracks pretty much done-we’re currently playing two of these live: “When Love Plays Dead” and “Die Hard”. We’ll see you all in the trail! Peace-D!C!/FM

New Song Posted!

This is a live version of the infamous but never recorded Masturbation Song. We tried to record it once in the studio, but a studio version felt a little to serious for the subject matter so we decided to try to capture it live when it is most likely to be most entertaining – for us anyway…and here is the result. It was recorded live at Fat Daddy’s in York, PA on 12/4/09. If you want to download it, we bet you can find it online somewhere. If not, you can listen here all you want. Enjoy!
