“Poem for Eva” by Bill Frisell

Notice how he’s looping layer after layer, but it’s not a parlor trick. Close your eyes and just listen. Completely seamless, always musical.

“Creep” by Radiohead

Erika and I hung out the other day and played some songs and my computer just happened to start videotaping and these two mics just appeared in front of us. Completely spur of the moment, though. And has nothing to do with this.

Be sure to watch the end, where things go from stupid to awkward to “What the hell did Cam say?”

“Hooch!” by Collective Pursuit

A nine piece jazz band I used to play with, and it gave me an outlet to write funk tunes like this one.

“Heart Of Glass” by Erika Lloyd & Cameron Mizell
originally by Blondie
from Pour A Little Everything Else

A few weeks ago we took a day trip out of the city to pick apples and drink wine in Warwick, NY.  Erika took brought her video camera and talked me into doing some air guitar.  We had a great time goofing off, generally not taking ourselves too seriously (which I do too often), and then Erika put together this awesome video.  Enjoy!

Along with playing and writing music, I'm a co-founder and author for MusicianWages.com, a website about the musician business. The website takes a pragmatic approach to the discussion about making a living as a musician.
