Being that I was heavily influenced by instrumental music, I started writing my own songs in my teens. A good ol’ fashioned 4-track would allow me to record my ideas but I needed a drummer, bass player etc. Enter the Boss DR-5 Dr. Rhythm machine. Packed with drums, bass, piano, synth – you name it, and this had it. I learned that thing inside and out and I recorded many demos. One weekend I got my hands on an 8 track and literally re-recorded all of my songs in 2 days. This time I was able to record harmony guitar parts that I had always heard in my head but didn’t have the means to record with only 4 tracks. I mixed and mastered them to the best of my abilities.
Although I never put them to disc and did an official “album”, they were a part of my “archive” or “lost tapes” as some people refer to them.
