Summer, Etc. |
|
| I made a new background today, because change is good. A friend whom I haven't seen for 20 years, but have thought about often, found me on another social networking site. We had lunch yes... Posted by JT Draper on Sun, 08 Jun 2008 05:47:00 PST |

New Background |
|
| Thanks to Sonja for the new backgound. She's a very creative person, who somehow figured out that I was raised in a secret colony on the moon. I thought the government was better at ... Posted by JT Draper on Fri, 25 Apr 2008 03:50:00 PST |

St Mary of Bethlehem |
|
| I wrote this song about a year ago, and have tried recording it several times. It's long and has a lot of verses. The title is the name of the oldest insane asylum in Europe (also known as... Posted by JT Draper on Sat, 29 Mar 2008 10:37:00 PST |

Dylan Wins a Pullitzer |
|
| Bob Dylan won a Pulitzer Prize. This is surprising not because he doesn't deserve one, but because they usually don't award them to pop musicians. I remember about 10 years ago when I hear... Posted by JT Draper on Tue, 08 Apr 2008 04:12:00 PST |

Red Wine and Hamburgers |
|
| I wrote this song a few months ago, and things were pretty bad for me then. It’s not really biographical at all--maybe some of the feelings behind it, but characters and events are all fic... Posted by JT Draper on Fri, 21 Mar 2008 03:46:00 PST |

Just when you think things are looking up. . . |
|
| I played at Joe's tonight for about the third of fourth time since I swore I'd never play there again. It has gone pretty crappy the last couple of times, so I don't think I'l... Posted by JT Draper on Sat, 05 May 2007 10:08:00 PST |

Lexicon Omega |
|
| I just bought a Lexicon Omega desktop recording interface. I think that I'll be able to do some higher quality recordings. I've been busy, so I hope I can come up with some time. Posted by JT Draper on Sat, 24 Feb 2007 12:56:00 PST |

Gig at Joe's |
|
| I'm gigging at Cup of Joe again. For those of you familiar with my experiences playing there and my very unpleasant falling-out with the very unpleasant ex-owner, I don't have to go into details... Posted by JT Draper on Fri, 16 Feb 2007 08:57:00 PST |

Old Gray Cat |
|
| I wrote this over a period of about 15 years. It evolved from a chain of haiku that I wrote, and somehow, it turned into a blues song. The vocals and acoustic guitar are first take. ... Posted by JT Draper on Fri, 16 Feb 2007 07:22:00 PST |

Death Letter Blues |
|
| I just uploaded this tune. It was supposedly composed by Son House in the late 1920's, but some sources say that he probably learned it from someone else. A lot of people have recorded it... Posted by JT Draper on Sun, 28 Jan 2007 04:19:00 PST |
