Old Music
The
following
tunes
are
from
the
many
Dangerous
Neighbors
gig
freebies
and
demos
given
away
from
the
early
1980s
through
about 2005. Enjoy.
Here’s another tune by the power trio. In the early summer of 1988
Dangerous Neighbors recorded this one-off tune called Nigara at a 4-trk
studio located in the top floor of a large mortuary in Northbrook, Illinios.
The quality is taken from a copy of a copy of a cassette tape. There are
dropouts, EQ and compression problems, tape tracking issues, and a long
list of other things, but here it is warts and all. Cassettes were very
popular back then. Enjoy.
Click here to download Nigara by Dangerous Neighbors.
It was the fall of 1988 and Dangerous Neighbors performed at a
packed-house bar in Benton Harbor, Michigan. The band that was
working there that night asked us to play a few tunes on their
equipment. As you may know, playing on some else's gear is like
wearing someone else's underpants. But that’s OK, a good time
was had by all. This is our last tune of a 15-minute set and it’s a
cover of Closer to Home by Grand Funk Railroad. This recording
was made with a small consumer grade cassette recorder
connected to the front-of-house mixing board output, and that copy
was copied to another cassette, and that was copied to here in
MP3 format. So this nearly 35 year old cassette produced true
audio fidelity in the lowest sense of the word. Enjoy.
Download Closer to Home as played by Dangerous Neighbors.
NOTE: this is the only cover tune in this old collection.

Here’s
a
couple
of
new
tunes
from
the
band
Dangerous
Neighbors
,
and
they
are
hopefully
from
the
new
album.
One
is
a
classical
guitar
piece
and
one
is
a
piano
piece.
Both
of
these
are
intended
to
be
used
as
intros
to
heavier
rock
bass,
drums,
and
guitar
songs.
Neither
intro
has
a
name
yet
so
for
now
the
names
are somewhat generic…
CLASSICAL GUITAR
This
first
one
borrows
techniques
from
the
early
Fernando
Sor
easy
guitar
lessons
and
is
simple
enough
to
be
played
by
most
guitar
players
with
chord
skills.
It
contains
some
melodic
counterpoint.

PIANO
I’m
not
really
a
keyboard
player
but
given
enough
time
I
can
hack
a
melody
and
fool
some
people.
This
piece
is
inspired
by
Franz
Shubert
.
