<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">DrC - All sound effects, outstanding keyboards, arrangement, mixing/mastering.<br /><br />Gary Carciello - Fabulous Guitar solos and rhythm fills.<br /><br />Rob Grant - Excellent Bass guitar.<br /><br />Farrell Jackson - songwriter, all vocals, and rhythm guitar.<br /><br />This is CDCG&J's Halloween song submission<br /><br />The song lyric is loosely based on The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. I believe most are familar with this short story written by Irving Washington and first published in 1820. There have been many cartoons, stage musicals, and film adaptation of this story over the years so I thought it would make a good Mixposure Halloween song topic and submission. Although, it was a bit challenging to tell the tale in 4 short verses. DrC, Gary, and Rob have all performed up to the excellence that The Mixposure Family has come to expect from these great musicians. Together we have given it some rockin' and spooky life!<br />I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm honored that these guy's let me hang with them musically...............<br /><br />Get ready for Halloween and all the spooky cool songs that are starting to pop up.......Enjoy!<br /><br />Farrell Jackson<br /></span></p>

<p>We got back late last night from the PRS Experience. I have to say I was impressed. The tour of the factory and talking to the PRS Guys was awesome. I think Rick and I spent about an hour with one guy showing us the process for how the PRS neck was made from start to finish. Talk about an intricate and painstaking process. These guys we extremely generous with their time showing us step by step the process from beginning to end. I can see why the build time for just the neck takes a week. We grabbed some pictures so I will be posting these soon.</p><p>We saw some remarkable musicians and Rick and I were able to get some pictures and videos that we will also post. The Grainger brothers are some serious musicians. I think they will be on Mixposure soon. Also Orianthi also played last night. She is an extremely talented guitarist.</p><p>I will be posting more soon but I wanted to give you an idea of how this trip has gone.</p><p>Thanks for reading,</p><p>Todd </p>
<p>Dear Mixposurites!</p><p>I have just uploaded two songs from my new CD entitled Hole In My Spine:</p><p> - Hole In My Spine<br /> - Rakkaus (Version C)</p><p>. Unlike Experimentalismus, which featured songs both new and older, Hole In My Spine consists of 12 of my newest songs (10 instrumentals; 2 with vocals) composed over the last couple of years, some of which have been released previously as downloadable singles, but most of which have not been heard by anyone before, as listed here:</p><p>1. Zero Zero Ten<br />2. Hole In My Spine<br />3. A Surging Bastard<br />4. wie ein Frühlingregen<br />5. Teeth Falling Apart<br />6. aus der Tiefe innen<br />7. Rakkaus (Version C)<br />8. A Dream<br />9. Zardusht<br />10. Mars Song<br />11. Pharmacological Negotiations<br />12. Tigers</p><p>Although mostly instrumental, Hole In My Spine is largely about coping with life-threatening illness, overcoming statistical mortality predictions and fears, gaining new spiritual perspectives, endurance in the face of numerous obstacles, and love in general. It is also about re-orienting myself to what I should be doing in life - creating music as it manifests out of my spirit in my soul, my ears and on recording media.</p><p>As I remember to do it, I will rotate other songs from Hole In My Spine over the next few weeks to share them with you. So, stay tuned.</p><p>Namaste and shalom, Woden Thoth</p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;">This song was inspired by my good friend who endured a long illness, (not to mention the self reflection it stimulated). The good news is that following the production of this song he fully recovered, making for a joyous but a somewhat awkward debut. Life certainly has its unexpected twists and turns.</span> <img title="Cool" src="http://****.com/include/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-cool.gif" border="0" alt="Cool" /></p><p> </p><p>Thanks,</p><p><a title="Fading Stars Home" href="http://www2.mixposure.com/David_C_Deal/">http://www2.mixposure.com/David_C_Deal/</a></p><p> </p>
