Bodie Town is an Americana styled song from my Orchid Faded Sky album. I wrote and recorded this song several years ago after returning from a visit to the ghost town of Bodie. It's now a California State Park that is left in it's natural state of decay. During it's gold rush days it housed 80,000 hopeful minors. This song hasn't seen the light of day for a while so I remastered it with LANDR and decided to give it a second life. All vocals, lyric and instruments played by me except the drums. I hope you enjoy it!

Haven't heard this in quite some time, Farrell. Good tune. That kick hits you in the chest right off the bat. Cool story, very visual. Love the harp work.
Thanks Frank!

I've had fun with this music stuff most of my life and still do. I gigged in a band for 35 years but now I'm just a home studio hack. Made a few bucks from gigging but I guess the real pay out is the numerous stories and memories from the road.
For a while I ran a small project studio at my place for soloists, duos, and the occasional full band. I gained a lot of recording experience doing that. It was definitely an experience. These days it's just me having fun in the studio. I try this and that with songwriting and recording. Once in a while it works. If I come up with something decent which I think sounds ok, I'll post it up.
I like acoustic guitars intermingled with electrics supported with melodic vocals and backed by harmonies. Music has been an enjoyable part of my life. It has allowed some satisfying and personal expressions to come forward. I'm grateful for those moments. Thanks for visiting and if you have the time, hit the play button to hear some my musings.
