A Friend in Need...

Thomas Trapp has been a positive influence in my life. He has generously helped me in my endeavors without asking for anything in return. He is not afraid to be part of solutions... He involves himself in the world and props others up before himself. He is a good guy who is reaching out with a genuine request. If you can find the time to read who he is on this GoFundMe page, and can spare some extra dollars, you just might keep one of the good ones going. Oh, and, anyone in the Dallas/Plano area, if you need a handyman, please give him a call, he's looking for work.  Buy Thomas a PickAxe!

Grass roots guy or not...

Alright.  Since I'm thinkin' I'm some kind of grass roots up kind'a cowboy, Americana/Rock guy with this Dresden Cowboy catalogue...  And, of course, Marty & Elayne @ the Dresden helped get my voice back in shape by allowing me to sing with them, like, three nights a week!  I think I'm just sayin'  I'm going to finally put together a band to play these/my songs out.  First date will be early Feb. in Los Angeles, somewhere.  After that, we will see if the world's up for a singer from Detroit with a bit of time on the planet sing'in them songs the way he feels it...  Regardless, my son and I just formed a production company, and we have tons of stuff going on already - at theCEF.world.  The site won't be up 'till first of the year.  Still, it's the start of a great adventure!  Just wanted to mention all that.

Bliss...

Recorded drum tracks with Andrew Orozco today for next up on the Detroit Strange Album.  The song is titled Bliss, and, along with Andrew's drum work, it features guitar from Moan Red.  Video currently in the works.

Bernadine. (featuring Cody Melville on guitar).

This song, Bernadine, is one of the first songs I ever recorded back in my Detroit rock 'n roll days. Here is a new version of the song featuring Cody Melville on guitar. It will be included in an upcoming Dresden Cowboy release titled Detroit Strange. Enjoy.
 

Up and coming...

Okay, the Bernadine video is taking a bit longer than expected...  there's some amazing guitar work from Sir Cody Melville on this one, and, hopefully the vocals will keep up.

After that we're already getting shots for the next song, titled Bliss....

Thanks for keeping up with us.

My buddy Dave has passed on...

My buddy Dave apparently passed away a couple nights ago. I love him, I think it sucks that he has removed himself from the bombastic noise of the rest of us, however, here is a song he was nice enough to play bass guitar on all those years ago... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QLt3BudJcc MY BEST DAVE! THANK YOU!

The Latest

Still working on my Bernadine video...

Just a note...

Just back for Paris. Workin' on a new song, also workin' on my Bernadine video. Inspired by the visit with my Euro brothers and sisters. God knows we are all more similar than not!

Drag!

A little promo before the upload...

Just waiting in the iTunes upload - I hope to drop this one on you Wed!

Drag! The Music Video

Today - shot the first scene in the DRAG! music video featuring actor Daniel Palma as the young lad in drag attire.  Daniel's a very charming visual in the piece.

Moan Red on World Destruction...

Moan Red joined me in the front room of the Dresden to put down some amazing guitar tracks for YOUR WORLD DESTRUCTION - a song on my upcoming album titled DETROIT STRANGE. 

Yes... So...

Okay.  Sorry it's been a bit of time since I've added a music video (three women have distracted me somehow)...  My kid's graduating, my wife's having difficulty managing the Hotel at the YMCA, I took a month off to consider things (other than music).  So, yes, I have been slightly absent as the Dresden Cowboy.  Not to say I don't/won't have a new video up soon - I WILL!  Soon.  As always... thanks for tuning into my thing - checking out my music videos and stuff.

Shufflin' some cards and sippin' some whisky...

While shufflin' some cards and sippin' rye whisky, I'm a' dropping songs into the ol' cosmic fryin' pan - right next to some over easy eggs - the makings of my next album titled Detroit Strange. 

Ken's Corner...

Had the opportunity to interview on Ken's Corner, a nice, candid talk show for the internet.  Talked a bit about acting, writing, songs, video and, of course, the Dresden Cowboy catalog.  Hope to post that soon.

Drag! - the next music video.

Got a cool tune, produced by Ed and Mike, titled Drag! that I'm currently shooting video for... It's all about an interesting cat who really likes wearing woman's shoes while walking the dog in the park. Wowser!
