GREAT IS THE ENEMY OF GOOD

The Dirtsmith Single! Push the Wheel / Shake For Me Girl

Dirtsmith, March 19, 2024March 19, 2024

Here it is! The Dirtsmith “single!” It’s still just a demo, but it’s the first thing I’ve ever recorded in a real studio! (In Spain!!!)

Singles used to be an “A” side and a “B” side.

The “A” side for this single is “Push the Wheel.”

It’s not the “better” of the two songs either musically or as a recording, but I wrote it within the past year and it is far more meaningful (to me)

[Special note to American listeners – play this song when you are fed up with your terrible job and need something to push you over the edge].

The “B” side is “Shake for me Girl.” It’s the closest thing I’ve ever had to a “hit!” It will probably be the more popular song of the two. It kicks ass and you might even get lucky if you play it! But, it’s a young person’s song – it’s twenty years old. And the message isn’t as meaningful to me. But no less fun!

Please keep in mind that this is not “Album Quality.” It’s sort of a proof of concept demo. But I hope you enjoy! 🙂

[And for anyone who missed the teaser demo “Music Video,” here it is!]

Telecaster

October 18, 2023October 22, 2023

I am going to an open mic tonight at a wonderful coffee house in a charming nearby town, and it will probably run late with a community jam session afterwards. I have been attending and playing there for the past two weeks. It has been an amazing, life-giving experience of…

A Hill High Enough – A Song of Protest

October 14, 2023November 2, 2023

A Hill High Enough I am apolitical (I believe all politics is a futile waste of life and energy at this point), and to preserve my own mental health I no longer follow the “news.” But the big stuff filters through. A Hill High Enough is a song that attempts…
