It just killed me everytime I had to hear this one in mono, so I have reposted it in glorious stereo! Also, it has been ages since I have posted and my YT itch must be scratched. Look for an upcoming collab soon (it's a secret..!). Fine I'm lovin' the Devil's daughter. She's covering me with...

I made this about six years ago with my son Sam on chorus vocals. He was eight at the time. I decided to just use thumbnail sketches to tell the story. If anyone feels up to the task, they may create their own video of this song. I will send them the mp3 music track to accomplish this. Any...

Here's a litty ditty (in stereo!) I made up a month or so ago. I've enlisted the aid of a couple of friends of mine - my hands, for this number. ...And oh, I too now realize that I put "words & music by Jon Shelton" on the end title card when in fact there are NO words in this instrumental piece...

Well, here it is again. I hope it loads for everybody this time. The first time I posted this video it would play, but only intermittently! I'm sorry to all the wonderful people who had left such nice comments the first time around. I've tried to reconstruct their comments by cutting and pasting...

My first post in STEREO! This is a piece I created using the Sony Acid Pro software. I made it to exploit stereophonic sound so listen in the corners for isolated instruments. I know it is a departure from what I usually post here, but there's a lot ya'll don't know about me (ha!). The video...

Here is a song I wrote when I was 17 (back in 1977!) and recorded in September of 2003. It has very naive lyrics and sounds like it was meant to be played loudly on an AM radio with a ripped cone on the way to the beach (no air conditioning, windows cranked down). It's very Beach Boy-esque so I...
