I had always dreamed of recording a complete album of my songs. After completing the eight efforts I just posted here, I compiled them together onto a master tape titled Dichotomy and distributed it on cassette tape to friends. This was somewhere around 1986, as I recall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a while, this satisfied my Muse, especially since at the time I was working rather regularly in the film industry as a writer, producer, and directory of educational films, industrials, and small budget commercials – even a music video for a local band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As time went on, I began to think about the possibility of a second album of songs with lyrics, rather than just the instrumentals of the first album. Now I’m a poor musician and an atrocious singer, but a pretty good composer. So, the prospects of this new album were not stellar from the get-go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still, I resolved to do my best so that the songs I was hearing in my head at least might be shared with others, even if the performance was sorely lacking despite good intentions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next few posts present the individual songs from this first vocal album, titled Tarnished Karma.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
