Below are some songs I recorded with my friend, Matt McClay. Song titles 'Headed For The Tide' and 'That's My Truck' were songs Matt wrote in college with a fellow classmate. It was Matt's college assignment to write the guitar part and his classmate wrote the lyrics. Matt wanted me to record what they had come up with, plus add drums, keyboards and bass guitar. The third song below is a Christian song titled 'He'll Find A Way'. Matt McClay's sister, Leslie McClay, wanted Matt and I to recreate the music to that song so she could sing to it at her church service. I recreated all the drums and spent hours learning and writing down the keyboard chord and note changes. We all went over to The Jets house in Dayton, Minnesota and had LeRoy Wolfgramm (Oldest brother, band leader, guitarist for The Jets) record us on his 8-track 1/2" reel-to-reel recording machine.
