CAC – The War Kitty Chronicles

Last weekend I shot a bunch of video for a fellow Austin musician. We’re going to make a music video. I captured and created this still image –

HANDS

I also took this picture of a parts guitar that I have completed… part of my ‘beautiful ugly’ collection. It’s an old Hohner body, a telecaster neck, a Bill Lawrence L500XL pickup. She plays like a sweetheart –

Playing a biker rally in Manor, Texas… on a flatbed in the middle of a field getting loud… the way it should be…

I made a video to go with Chris Allen & Debbie Rivers – Day Journey…

…

I was lucky enough to work with Debbie Rivers… it was a joy. This is the result. Chill… Native American Flute… and a Day Journey that lasts forever.

This is my latest…

CAC War Kitty – Shades is the second in a four part series of electronic musical minscapes collectively know as “The Burning Man at Sunrise Series”… and based on impressions from the annual Burning Man art/lifestyle event.

The first in the series was CAC War Kitty – Simpatico.

This is the video I made for my cover of the great Lou Reed classic “Walk On The Wild Side”. I don’t remember the first time I heard the song (I know it was New York) and it seem like I have always been playing it in one form or another. This song shall forever remind me of New York City in the 1970’s.

Enjoy…

The Chronicles is going on vacation… this is mainly due to both professional and personal time constraints. And this does not mean that I will be on vacation. Far from it.

You will be able to keep up with my music, poetry, thoughts, and antics from my pages on Facebook and through my Tweets…

The vacation won’t be long. I’ll let you know for sure. Thanks.

This song started out as a poem. Then I got to messing around with it a week or so later and I thought… That would be fun as a blues/rock thing. The rest is history.

I gave it a big Texas Roadhouse vib and sent her packing. For the drums I used just two kick drums and the bass is jumping on the 8th notes. The rest is guitars. The main intro riff and the power chords are played on my Esquire and the two lead guitars are my Stratocaster. The amp is a Marshall JCM 800 head plugged direct to the soundcard.

That’s the way it went down.

Great road music… enjoy the trip.
