Do You Believe?

Hi Friends,

This is my fourth song that I have posted so far in my “Lost In Your Arms of Love” podcast series. This week’s song release is timed rather well I think with the coming of Holy Week and Easter. The lyrics that I wrote speak to a dialog I [...]

Lost In Your Arms of Love

Did you ever screw up?

Did you ever screw up your life and not realize at the time that you were screwed up?

Did you ever realize that at one time you were screwing up your life and while oblivious to the fact that you were totally screwing [...]

Of Ringtones and Samples

admin — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 06:36:21 +0000

We’ve not been slouching here around the Kilika Music Studios of late. A lot of behind the scenes activity has in fact been taking place. One interesting development, to me anyway, is that on a whim I decided to see if I could create some ringtones. I never really cared too much for the [...]

Happy New Year everyone! Let’s have a great 2010!

Musing Mana 14a – The Movie – Vaccai Meets Trip Hop (Take 2)

chartzog — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 17:56:35 +0000

In my infinite desire to play around with new technology I ended up creating a MPEG4 video - The Movie – Vaccai Meets Trip Hop (Take 2) of Vaccai Meets Trip Hop (Take 2). So, now here you go. This has to be one of my shortest blog posts ever. BTW, happy Labor Day.

Musing Mana 14 – Vaccai Meets Trip Hop (Take 2)

chartzog — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 00:46:39 +0000

Here is a new edition of Vaccai meets Trip Hop. I am now up to the 14th release in my Musing Mana song project: Musing Mana 14 – Vaccai Meets Trip Hop (Take 2)

This version has more of a tribal feel and some minor key overtones. I even had to haul out my [...]

Michael Powers at Port Gardner Landing

chartzog — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 20:33:19 +0000

We spent Saturday evening enjoying Michael Powers and his band scooping out some great soul in celebration of the release of Michael’s newest CD, “Soul School”. The band managed to out-run the rain showers Saturday and they even brought out the sun at one point with “New Jack Jazz”. Michael is an incredible musical [...]

Musing Mana 12 – Saving Grace

chartzog — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 22:44:21 +0000

I am a pretty spiritual person and not afraid to admit it. I am actually very happy about it and glad to share it when someone expersses an interest. Consequently it is only natural that my spirituality spills over into other areas of my life, including my songwriting. It took me forever to actually [...]

Shady Song Sharks

chartzog — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 23:05:54 +0000

Some day I might put up a few of the song shark, “just send us $200″ and you might get published record offers I have received. If this stuff was as good as they make it sound I wouldn’t need to work any more or try to sell any songs because I [...]

Blues-Rock

chartzog — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 13:02:49 +0000

It appears to be time to devote more effort to my Musing Mana Song Project. Sometimes I feel like the guy in the circus that runs around trying to keep all of the plates spinning balanced on the pool cues. Anyway, I have a musical idea for a song that is in blues-rock genre [...]

Blues Rock Goodness – Galaxy 7

chartzog — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 18:33:10 +0000

There are a lot of good, unknown or underknown artists on ReverbNation. I recently listened to some music by a RN artist Galaxy 7 who is an example of this. G7 has a song called “Two Step Boogie” that is an awesome amalgamation of SRV blueness with threads of Clapton and a hint of [...]

You might have noticed that there is now a convenient way for you to participate in my happiness and in further supporting my music. The “buy me a beer” feature has been added to my left sidebar. If you have been reading my site, listening to my music, or downloading things, do me a [...]

Squidoo be doo

admin — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 15:30:01 +0000

Seemed like a good idea at the time, so now there are some Squidoo “lenses” out there that you can check out. Really, I just like playing on the computer…that’s what this is about.

Anyway, the big lens is here: http://www.squidoo.com/ChrisHartzog

Interconnection redux

Oops…I forgot one other to include in the list:

Truefire. What is Truefire you ask? Here is what they say:

What is TrueFire?

Since 1991, TrueFire and its collective of 450+ artists and educators, has produced thousands of guitar lessons and interactive video courses, which are available as downloads, streaming video and [...]

Creating more interconnections

chartzog — Tue, 27 May 2008 03:06:32 +0000

It has been said (by Kevin Kelly ) that the Internet is a gigantic copy machine. It’s also a fact that the more digital connections there are to a piece of information, the higher the probability that it will be “stumbled upon” by a cyber seeker or seekers and in turn more likely to [...]
