Flying Snail Studios Podcasts

As a student, I had an extensive music education and have not exercised 'it' for over forty years.

The first four Podcast music compositions, Introduction, Inside Job, Passing Time, and Mood Loops, took 7 hours, 22 minutes to create; from 'open Mac Mini box until completed, as you hear them'.

Bluz Ate My Song - Created with 'stock' GarageBand and M-Audio Oxygen 8 MIDI Keyboard Controller.

These are 'no frills', 'raw tunes', created with GarageBand without 'mixdown' or enhancement. I left them as they were created, in order to show improvement.

Long Gone Stranger Blues © 2007 Mike Wilhelm - Born in Los Angeles in 1942, Mike Wilhelm learned blues guitar in his teens from legendary Tennessee bluesman Brownie McGhee and Texas songster Mance Lipscomb. A U. S. Navy veteran, he is perhaps best known as one of the founding members of San Francisco's first psychedelic rock group, the Charlatans (1964-69). He led his own hard rock group, Loose Gravel, from 1969 until 1976 when he joined cult heroes and power pop originators the Flamin' Groovies, playing with them until 1982.

Ramblin' - Written by Robert Johnson

Worn Out Suits - Written by Dave Edmunds

Science Faction

My example of science faction would reference "From the Earth to the Moon". by Jules Verne, point out how people at that time could not believe a trip to the moon was possible, and NASA Apollo 11.

The first of this series is titled, Rebirth of Evil

One night, 30 plus years ago, a tape was shoved through my mail slot with no identification or label, and was wrapped in a torn, small, brown paper bag. Although somewhat outdated, I find the similarities, suggested in the audio, leading up to 1984 and 'the present' amusing.

The second of the series is titled, UFO Message 1974

While participating with an amateur radio network during 1974 I heard a high speed Morse code message that repeated three times, without identification, and went silent. The message stated a time, date, frequency, and requested the broadcast be recorded. The broadcast was on high frequency radio and starts off with poor sound and gets better a few minutes after the start. Even though some of the information is 'off', it is important to remember this was 1974 and that some things mentioned, in some cases, pertain to today. Of interest are claims the government is being taken over, references to oil crisis, and a disaster on the 'Gulf Coast'.
