From the Beginning

2008-01-25

The new song is still a work in progress. We've recently laid down a new track which includes drums. We've been having some trouble with the microphone being too hot and picking up sounds from that track in headphones when laying down vocals. We're also having some issues with the rocking electric guitar part that to me makes the song whole. For those of you who have added From the Beginning to your playlists, we will eventually post the final cut and delete the one that starts with "Concept - ". We'll let you know when we do.

Doc Boggs is starting to take shape! I know many of you are curious to know where the name came from; but for now, you'll have to settle with the names of the permanent members:

Alexander Goens is the genius behind the highly instrumental take of "I Can't Stay". He and I have played for nearly the past decade. To this day, I haven't found a guitarist as gifted as Alex who can meld as well with my style, and I with his. Every time we sit down and jam, something new is produced.

Marvin Pineda is our personal 4-track recorder. He's been jamming with us nearly as long and hasn't missed a single riff. He will resurrect ideas that are half-decades old, inspiring us to work on them and create new material from them. He is the rhythm guitarist behind "From the Beginning"

I am Daniel Raeder. Most of what you hear right now on this site is material I've decided to record within the past 8 months. Some of what you hear includes sit-in musicians such as Stephen Wood on "Sad, Sad Songs", but for the most part, these are original singer/songwriter recordings. This will be changing in the next couple months now that Doc Boggs is back together with its Milwaukee roots.

Stay tuned for more! Rock on!
