This is one of the first songs I wrote back in 1989 (The year I graduated from Anoka Senior High School). I plan to re-record this song someday soon. I recorded this song on my VistaFire 4-track tape-cassette recorder. Trying to get a better drumset sound, I recorded the bass-drum, snare, and hi-hat separately 1 at a time... rather than setting the 1 microphone I owned out in front of my drumset and recording the drums LIVE as a professional recording studio would do. Music and recording equipment is very expensive, so I did the best I could with what I had back then. The keyboard sounds are from my Roland D50 synthesizer, and the guitar I am using is a Gibson Les Paul Custom (Black/white/gold) running through a Yamaha FX-500 with symphonic and delay. Eddie Van Halen is my favorite guitar player... and I tried sounding like Eddie Van Halen in the guitar solo I wrote for this song.

Here's a song I wrote with my friend and songwriting partner Steve Laws Anderson (photo bottom-right). This song started out with Steve giving me his guitar chords and arrangement on tape. I used that as a guide to create the drums, keyboards, bass guitar, lyrics, and vocals. I remember before writing the lyrics to this song, I told Steve that I would 'not' write about LOVE. Well, the lyrics ended up being about love... I think because of the feel the music has... I was able to stay away from relationship love lyrics as intended. The lyrics to this song reflect my wanting the world to be a perfect place for everyone. This song is available for sale below (click BUY SONG) or buy cd title 'Music by James Limborg 2006'.

I wrote this song for 2 cavalier dogs I was taking care of for my sister Terri Limborg. Their names were Dipity (She's the one barking in this song) and Fatty Matty. I wanted this song to be fun for them with good music and dogs barking... something they can relate to. There was a verse my sister and parents asked me to remove... which I did. The lyrics that were removed said, "Poor Fatty Matty got bloated and died, but before that she had 2 cute puppies... Dipity you've had 2 false pregnancies... Here's a 5 gallon pale of water drink up!". hahahhahaa... Well, That's my humor and honesty and I still have the original recording of this song with those lyrics I removed.

I originally wrote and recorded this song in 1989. In 2007 I re-recorded this song using my new recording equipment (Both recorded versions are available for sale below). Christmas is my favorite holiday, and I wanted to write a song similar to the old classic Christmas songs like Gene Autry 'Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer' and 'Frosty The Snowman', Burl Ives 'Have A Holly Jolly Christmas', Nat King Cole 'The Christmas Song', etc. I am very happy with my 2007 Christmas song version! In my 2007 recording, I added real orchestra bells and chimes which took me lots of time just finding those sounds to use in this song. I remember back in 1989 writing the lyrics for this song... I asked my parents and friends for help and advice on the lyrics I was writing.

Tere is another song I wrote back in 1989. I recorded this pop song on my VistaFire four-track tape-cassette recorder. I was not able to record all my music ideas for this song because I was limited to 4-tracks of recording... but someday soon I plan to re-record this song so I get it just the way I intended. I've had compliments on the intro guitar solo melody, but really all I did was throw in some 'temporary' guitar notes to fill in the space with the intentions of later replacing those filler notes with a written guitar solo. The intro guitar solo melody grew on me as well... so when I re-record this song, I will keep the intro solo just the way it is.

Here is a pop-rock song that I originally recorded on my VistaFire four-track recorder back in 1989. In 1993 I re-recorded this song on a 16-track reel-to-reel 1/2" inch tape machine. Then in 2005 I re-mixed the 1993 version using my new recording equipment and added some more keyboard melodies, automated panning and volume effects, and background drum loops.

I wrote this song with my friend and songwriting partner Steve Laws Anderson (photo bottom-right). The process of creating this song started with Steve giving me his rhythm guitar chords and arrangement, and drum machine idea on tape cassette. I used that as a guide to create the drums, synthesizer keyboard parts, lyrics and vocals. Off and on for 2 years I would change the song forming it into what you hear below. I tried to produce this song like Def Leppard music. There are many producing techniques going on in this song... reverse vocals and instruments, panning and volume changes, fade-ins fade-outs, sound effects, EQ sweeps, pitch change effects, etc. It's like a painting that has all existing colors... very detailed, full of entertainment for the ears.

I used that as a guide to create the drums, bass guitar, keyboards, guitar solo, lyrics and vocals. Back when Steve and I were making this song... I was in love with my 1st love and wrote the lyrics about her. Steve laughed and said, "We can't have a song that has the word cacoon in it... he laughed... No song ever used the word cacoon!". Well, the only reason I used the word 'cacoon' was because this girl told her mom that she was like a butterfly... still in a cacoon... not quite ready to fly. Meaning she wasn't ready for a relationship as I was. This song is available for sale below (click BUY SONG) or buy cd titled 'Music by James Limborg 2006'.

I created this song with my friend, 1st guitar teacher Drew Kabanuk (photo bottom-right). Back around 1996 or so, Drew recorded the drum machine, acoustic guitar, lyrics and vocal parts on his 16-track 1/2" reel-to-reel tape machine. Around 2005 I found his reel-to-reel tape while looking for my music... I liked his song... So I produced it into a professional sounding song. I had to copy and paste his vocals to complete the song, remove most of his acoustic guitar playing due to mistakes/off-tempo playing, I added acoustic guitar and keyboard melodies, cricket sound effect, electric guitar melodies, tamborine, cabasa/shaker sounds, panning and volume changes throughout the music.

Be With You Tonight (My lyrics & singing)

I started the creation of this song by copying the drums to Paul Simon's song titled 'KODACHROME'. I then made minor changes to the drums, wrote an acoustic guitar part over the top of the drums, added the same piano and horn instruments as in 'KODACHROME' but had to change the pitch of them to match the key the guitar was in, added keyboard bass, and lastly vocals. This was the 2nd fastest song I wrote (1st was Terri's Getting A Lot Bigger). It took me 1 week to complete this song from creation to final recorded mix. When it came time to write the lyrics, I thought if Paul Simon can write about camera film, I can write about tennis. So with my microphone in my hand, I wrote the lyrics 1 line at a time, and recorded the lead vocal as I was writing the lyrics. I never did that before... Most of the time I write the lyrics first, then later record them.

T his is the 1st song that Steve (photo bottom-right) and I wrote together. We recorded this at Gark Studios(Producer, Dave Pinski) in 1990. Steve did a great job with the lyrics on this song (Lots of lyrics in this song). Steve had a crush on Kristy McNichol back when he wrote these lyrics. At the time, Kristy lived in Sherman Oaks, so Steve titled this song 'Sherman Oaks'. I think Steve is a better lyric writer than me... I always encourage him to write the lyrics to our songs. Before going into the studio with this song, Steve and I recorded all of our music ideas on my VistaFire 4-track tape recording machine. In the studio, when I was recording the JET sounds in the intro... Steve pressed his finger on my keyboard creating the last JET sound you hear in the intro of this song just before the music comes in... worked out great. Around 2002, Steve and I were contacted by Neal Ardman, vice-president of Equity Broadcasting, about wanting to buy this song outright. Precision Sound used this indie music on their compilation cd.

Paul Booth Johnson (photo below-right) started this song by writing and recording the drums, rhythm rock guitar, bass guitar, and guitar solo upstairs at Drew's house in Robinsdale, Minnesota on Drew's 16-track reel-to-reel 1/2" tape. Then Drew (photo bottom-left) eventually went upstairs and wrote the lyrics and recorded his vocals. Then Paul asked me to add a cool guitar solo, which I started, but never finished. Many years later, while I was searching through Drew's 16-track recording reels for some of my music, I found this Hot Rod Lincoln music. I liked it, so I copied all the tracks from the reel into my computer recording equipment and produced the song into what you hear below. I muted out the empty spaces between drums, vocals, guitars, etc. Added EQ, delay, reverb, compression, limiter as needed to each instrument. My brother, John Limborg, said I should add a double bass drum to the song... I asked John where, he showed me, so he left my house and I added that in. I copied my guitar solo and pasted it into the beginning of the song to start out the song with. I added a ride-bell to the end of the song, drum loops, volume and pan effects, and found a Ferrari race car sound effect on the internet and put it in this song as well. I'm guessing Paul started this song around 1994, and I finished it around 2002. Out of all the songs on my website, currently this song has sold the most!

T his is the 2nd song that Steve (photo bottom-right) and I wrote together. We recorded this at Gark Studios (Producer, Dave Pinski) in 1991. Steve did a great job with the lyrics on this song as well. I always encourage Steve to write lyrics for our songs. Due to me telling Dave Pinski (The producer) to add more bass to the mix... both Sherman Oaks and Taste The Loneliness had 'too much' bass when listened to 'outside' the recording studio. So we had Sandy, Steve's friend, re-mix this song at LOGIC STUDIOS (Brian Bart, studio owner). This song is available for sale below (click BUY SONG) or buy cd title 'Music by James Limborg 2006'.

B ack in 1989 I worked at my sisters dog grooming shop called 'A DOGS BEST FRIEND'. My sister would wash and clip the dogs, and I would dry them. While drying the dogs, I'd sing silly songs... and one of those songs is this one. It was 2pm and I asked my sister, Terri Limborg, if I could go home early to record this song. She said yes. At 6:30pm the song was finished and I had my sister listen to it. She couldn't believe how fast I made it into a song, nor can I... recording music rarely goes fast for me. This was the fastest I've recorded any song (Took 4 hours to record)... 2nd to this is my tennis song 'Red White and Green' which took 1 week of recording and writing the lyrics.

You Make Me Strong (My lyrics & singing)

I was never a person who enjoyed going out to parties or bars, but sometimes I would end up at a party with a friend. Well, I saw this girl that was really cute, some people were dancing, so I wrote the lyrics about this day. I wrote this song back in 1989, and recorded it on my VistaFire 4-track tape-cassette recorder. The music sounds like something you'd hear from the band 'New Kids On The Block'. The instruments I used in this song was my Roland D50 and Alesis HR16 drum machine. Someday soon, I plan to re-record this song using my new recording equipment.
