harry nilsson cover

I have always been highly influenced by harry nilsson. his layered vocals, silly lyrics, & amazing sense of melody have all had a huge impact on both of my albums. earlier today i was messing around with his song 'i guess the lord must be in new york city', which has always been a big favorite of mine. after a few run thrus just for my own amusement i decided to try and record my own version. so i recorded: 2 acoustics, 2 banjos, a bass, 4 snares, 2 tambourines, & about 12 vocals. my dad then added a really nice harmonica part at the end. anyway i thought i would share it with all of you as i had so much fun making it. please check out harry nilsson for yourself, i know you will love him.
la la la,
Paul

old tack pianos video shoot

hello everyone. yesterday kenny & i drove out to pasadena art center and shot a video for 'old tack pianos'.(which is on doors & windows) josh patterson directed and about 40 other people were there: stage crew, camera men, grips, art students, etc. they were all very professional and a pleasure to work with. all went really really well. i don't wanna give too much away but it does contain sailors, lobsters, & boats. here's a pic of me and the leading lady marissa.

the album release party is this saturday and the band and i are rehearsing tomorrow at daves house. may try and throw in a few surprises for the show. we will see. hey if you haven't picked up 'doors & windows' yet maybe now is the time!
la la la,
paul
