Because I
doubt that the world is looking for a 38 year old balding
pop star, I've decided that this small, electronic space is
my best bet for sharing my music. I hope you enjoy, please
let me know what you think. |

Solo
Projects
- NEW! If You
Forget Me When I'm Gone: Another fully solo
production complete with video! This is my idea of a
Willie Nelson style country/western song.
- Tell
Me: This is a Barry Clark composition that I
recorded in honor of Barry's 50th birthday, July 2008.
- Rainbows
End: A song I wrote for Molly's
birthday a few years back (I'll do anything to avoid
shopping!).
- One
Last Time: I wrote this almost 15 years ago but
never got around to doing anything with it. Then over
Christmas break 2007 I had an entire week to myself
and decided to record a song on my own and picked this
one. When I say I did this on my own, I really mean
it. This is me on drums, guitars, bass & vocals.
Bit of a vanity project, but now I know I can do it!
- If
I Loved You Anymore: This was meant to be a sort
of "femme fatale" kind of song, but it ended up just
being creepy. Rae Kraemer on vocals and Andrew Mork on
drums.
- Oregon
Roads: I work for Tektronix, and
every once in a while I get asked to produce music for
corporate events. This one is sort of an oddball; I
put this together with a couple of co-workers when one
of our executives retired. I like the way this turned
out, but everything that's good about it can be
attributed to John Denver. And, of course, my very
talented co-workers Debbie & John.
- Mothers
Day: I wrote and recorded these songs as gifts
for my mother, Dale Gadue. I think I'm going to try to
keep this tradition going; in about 10 years I'll have
enough for an album!

here.

Big Dumb
Animals:
For lots more, please
see our official site bigdumbanimals.com.
What you see below are mostly working drafts.
- Deep
Roots: Big Dumb Animals had the chance to
participate in Deep
Roots 10.
- June:
(a Barry Clark original; this is just an off the cuff
demo he laid down for the band to learn the tune)
- Living
Large: A Rae
Kraemer original.
- Smoke
And Wings: Another one of Rae's tunes.
- Senseless:
This was originally recorded in 1997 for our first
demo. I acquired the original tracks and re-mixed
them, plus had Rae record harmony vocals.
- Barfly
Baby: Another of our original demo tunes,
remixed and added Rae.
- Bitch
Better
Have My Money: A Rae Kraemer original. This was
written for her friends going away party. A totally
serious song right up until the end, then the rest of
us assert ourselves.
- Simplicity:
A brilliant Barry Clark original. This recording
remains in it's embryonic state. We'll get back to
this one soon.
- Too
Little
Too Late: You know the old joke "what's the last
thing the drummer said before he left the band..? 'hey
guys, let's play one of mine.'" Well, we let our
drummer get away with one here. This Chris Lamb
composition has been in our rotation for years, and
we're still just getting around to recording it.
Andrew Mork is sitting in on drums on this one.
