The White Butterfly Revisited
Sunday Jun 30, 2024
Sunday Jun 30, 2024
Every time I see a white butterfly, I take it to be a message from elsewhere that I am not alone and things are going to be okay.
Is that crazy? Maybe. As John Lennon said, "Whatever gets through the night." And I guess I need help these days.

Finished Demo For My Next Album ~ Baby Knows
Saturday Jun 29, 2024
Saturday Jun 29, 2024
I love this song. Of course I need to rerecord the vocal and guitar part. I need a sax player for the instrumental break. And I think I should bring a drummer and a stand-up bass player into the studio.

So far, I haven't come up with anything that seems right. I'm sure it will appear or manifest itself, as they say, one of these days.
Nonetheless, I'm very happy with how the album is coming along.

Keep Giles Martin Away From The Beatles' Music
Saturday Jun 29, 2024
Saturday Jun 29, 2024
Leave The Beatles' music alone. Stop. Right. Now. Keep this no-talent wannabe nepo baby away from their music.
All anybody needs is the MONO MIXES—They contain every bit of information and musicality the Beatles and George Martin wanted to share with us.

Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs ~ Please Stop Trying So Hard
Saturday Jun 29, 2024
Saturday Jun 29, 2024
Everything about this album smacks of trying to hard to be perceived as a bad boy. Good bad, not evil, as the girl said in "Leader of the Pack."
Hipster rebellion signalling, forced, insincere, trying too damn hard. More appropriate for a guy fifty years younger.
