Pamparo in Toronto

Here’s a short poem I wrote which is inspired by recent events …

I am so weak, I succumb to my greed
Things I don’t need, yet I cannot resist
Metallic gray, “make that two, please”, I say
Incoming now, they will get here somehow!

And what shaped the inspiration …

Thanks to the guys at http://www.crybabydoc.com for giving us this full-length video on the history of wah-wah!

Way too cool!

A new song I wrote as I look forward to the turning of the season … from winter to spring

BTW, if you know some tricks to reduce finger fret noise while recording an acoustic piece, please let me know!

Came up with this short tune just before we went on holiday a couple of weeks ago for the Family Day long-weekend … a little rough but you get the idea

Enjoy!

I am talking about one of the greatest analog delay pedals ever created … in Canada! hehehe … after trying both Strymon Brigadier and El Capistan, I realized that what I had before was all I really wanted! DOH! Talk about waste of time & resources! Anyhow, she’s back from the shop with a much needed dotted-eight mod …

And of course, I have to try if it works … and it does! Here’s a clip where I used it on a couple of tracks:
