I tried to add commentary to this twice, and Chrome crashed both times. So I’m just going to say “hello, I messed up while trying to record one of my songs. Here’s the short clip.”
I also downloaded Firefox purely for the purpose of uploading this clip.
Just a little fun. :P

Light-ways and Dark-things by Jimi Brady.
“I stayed in New Orleans for over a month with my wonderful girlfriend, Amanda, and I whilst there I borrowed her roommate’s ukulele (thanks, Tina!). I wrote this song and played it in the French Quarter one night. The song is not finished, so what you’ll see and hear is what I intend for the song to sound like, but this is not the final version. I mostly just improvised my various ideas between the verses. In any case, I like the way this one turned out, mistakes and all. And, as always, a huge thank-you to my girlfriend for filming!The lyrics are a poem that I wrote by the same name. Towards the five minute mark I stomp my foot suddenly - I was trying to kill a roach that was making its way towards my bag. :)”

I’m back in California, so I’ll be keeping this blog up to date again. Thanks for the patience.

Departure by Jimi Brady (that’s me), played in Jackson Square, New Orleans, LA.
My amazing girlfriend and camerawoman, Amanda, took this video of me playing Departure in the French Quarter. It came out really well, and this is actually the only recorded version containing both the intro and outro. Let me know what you think. :)

Little Things (no vocals) by Jimi Brady.
Another one of my songs without the vocals. Sorry for the lack of posts - I’m enjoying my three weeks in New Orleans. I might be going down to the French Quarter tomorrow to busk, and there will be video evidence.

Eon’s Illusion by Erik Mongrain.
Too much of this type of acoustic-playing can get a little stale, but it’s very tastefully done in this song, I think.

First Harvest by Dave Thomas.
A beautiful accordion piece by Dave Thomas. I wish this guy had released an album. :(
