Landlocked: Flowing the Concrete Sea: Caught Inside at the Rust Belt

Caught Inside at the Rust Belt

I wasn't kidding, folks. I think we are at least 10 days into this carnage of White Death. I'm coming up gasping for air on this beautiful Sunday morning...just to see I'm about to take another one right on top of the head. For all those dedicated to the sacred ground that is dry concrete let's hope this is winter's final swell.

If you're interested in real carnage, real swells and hell-man chargers then check out the highlights from yesterday's 2010 Mavericks Surf Contest from our old town of Half Moon Bay, CA. When the winter swells are big enough this small little spot, just a few miles south of San Francisco, will see waves break larger than anywhere else in the continental United States. It's an amazing thing to see. $50K was awarded to the winner.

Here's the article and re-cap from yesterday's contest:

Studio Recording and Instrument Lessons

Some of the music you hear on this page consists of original works performed and recorded by David Faul at Apple Hill Project Studios. Using vintage instruments and state of the art recording technology you, too, can create your own recording project/demo in a comfortable, stress-free environment. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about recording in the Cincinnati area.

Music and Skating videos from the Rust Belt.

Music is a huge part of my blog. I'm interested in and play everything from jazz to alt-country, no depression type music. Right now I'm working mostly with acoustic instruments and singer/songwriter type sessions. We are trying to create a very natural, organic and independent music/sound that is true to multiple styles of music. You'll hear many of the instruments that have defined what has quickly become a national treasure: roots based, americana, alt-country music.

Apple Hill Studios is a small, warm room full of vintage pianos, guitars, drums, banjos, B3 and a Leslie speaker. My vision for this room is nothing more than to have a friendly and inviting atmosphere that inspires true music.

It's great to see people take a love for music and turn it into a passion for playing. Beginning to advanced lessons are available in piano, guitar and organ. Learn in a comfortable studio setting.

What have you always wanted to learn: jazz piano, fingerstyle guitar, hawaiian slack key guitar, blues, rock, theory, play by ear? Get in touch if you want to hear more.

Playing an instrument will teach you things you've never learned about yourself and can be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life. Whoa...
