| There's no getting around the fact that a personal music site is what this site has primarily become, not simply for my own music, but also to showcase the efforts of my oldest & some of my newest friends. There are a LOT of MP3's on this site, more than you might think. While the samples below may not represent the absolute best that this site has to offer, they should provide some idea of what it is lurking behind the menu tabs above. Enjoy, don't cost nothing! |

| Jerusalem | (2007) An ELP cover, With Jim Lofrano on Percussion, still looking for a brave lead vocal for this one. |
Clancy (Merlyn) |
| His Broken Cappuccino Machine | (2006) Jamming with Rob Herkert on guitar, Phil Dupuis on drums, DBA as the Junk Dogs | |
| The Resignation | (2008) Working on mic techniques for that Hamburg Steinway Model A in my living room. | |
| Green Onions | (2005) With Danny Moyer on Drums, just a Blam with Hammond, Piano, Synths & Dan on the Ludwigs | |
| Reflection Within | (2007) These are strings & woodwinds from Tascam Giga Studio, and an original score using Sibelius, following an investment in an updated Orchestral Composition suite that so far as not produced much else. Stay tuned. | |
| One Last Look | (2007) The final cut of Clancy's Milestones. | |
| Gort Berenga | (2006) Clancy playing some Heavy Hammond, Clavinet & Moog on a Mark Dearing song, with Phil Dupuis on drums. They are re-making The Day The Earth Stood Still in Christmas 2008, but these Gort samples are from the real deal. | |
| End of the Season | (2008) Another Piano Improvisation | |
| Rich Hunter (Jester) | ||
| Floating in the Breeze | (1975) As 19 year olds, one of our first professional recording studio experiences. With Rob Teegarden, Jim Lofrano, John Clancy & Rich Webb DBA as Solstice. |
Hunter (Jester) |
| California VS New York | (1980) With Mondo Silaya, Tim Szukala, John Clancy & Dean Foster DBA as Big Business. | |
| What Could Have Been | (2007) I can never get it to sound quite like it is in my head, probably has something to do with my voice, as in, I don't imagine myself singing it, so I'm always going to be a little disappointed when I put it down. Kind of a mood piece, fill in your own details. Hear more of Rich's solo work on Hunter's Point. | |
| The Shed | (2007) One Bad Axe Redux, updated version of an original jam from back in the Big Business era. | |
| The Maiden Voyage | (Cover, enhanced, of a song from Clancy's Milestones) | |
| Jim Lofrano (Jimbo) | ||
| High Hopes | (2009) I finally re-did the backing track of this. When I originally put the vocal on this I used an old backing track I did in 2005 before I really learned how to use Cubase and the result always left something to be desired. I fixed the problem areas and re-rendered each track properly as well as adding a few little things to spice it up. This is my final version of this Pink Floyd new classic from the Division Bell CD. Not much can be done to my limited vocal ability to improve it I'm sad to say - Jim Lofrano, December 2009. |

| Solstice (#4) | (1975) As 19 year olds, one of our first professional recording studio experiences. With Rob Teegarden, Rich Hunter, John Clancy & Rich Webb DBA as Solstice. | |
| People Have to Dance | I will let Jim tell this one:This is People Have To Dance from Jerry Strull's 1980 album Medley. He wanted to do this to showcase his writing ability, he hired Nick Phillips(bass) and myself as we had just come back to town after 5 months on the road together. Nick's claim to fame in his cousin is Simon Phillips of the Who, Jeff Beck etc.............Anyway Jerry wanted to change tempo and/or keys on some of the tracks and off comes Nick and on goes Mark Thorsel as we had left town again, who did a great job BTW, so it ended up being Buster with different singers. I remixed it and re-eq'd and added reverb. Lineup: Jerry guitars, songwriter producer; Barry Peterson, vocals; Mark Wayne keys; Mark Thorsel bass; me, drums | |
| White Room | (July, 2008) I have to show off my new copy of Drums From Hell drum collection Superior 2.0, they were done at Avatar in New York. Pat Thrall and Neil Dorfsman did the recording, Nir Z played for the sampling sessions. Inexpensive too, the upgrade from Superior was $129. White Room cover is me on my little DAW, the distortion on the bass is on purpose, trying to get the Jack Bruce EB0 bass into a giant stack of Marshall amps on 11. Anyway, the drums sound alright, the rest? me. (Song by Jack Bruce & Pete Brown) | |
| Moonlit Coffee Shop | (May, 2008) Clancy: Paul Wakefield wrote & recorded this song, and asked Clancy for some help with an updated arrangement. Clancy immediately sought out Lofrano's assistance on the basic beat & feel, and this is the result. Featuring Rich Hunter on electric guitars, Clancy on Keys, Lofrano on drums, and Paul Wakefield handling the acoustic guitars & vocal for this song, which he wrote for his wife. | |

| Pinlad. | What if Pete Townsend had done "popular opera" just a few years earlier? | |
| Pop-up Momma | This is an Irish ballad for modern times. | |
| On Christmas Eve | On those dumb postcards, we are all fat and happy forever. Wake up, Hallmark! This is what we are like in the real world. (-Edited) | |
| Flute Sonata in 3 movements | I wrote this for Mari, thinking we’d find someone to play the piano part (not me!) so she could perform it. The only problem was, we didn’t. So Mr. Roland had to do it here. (13MB, 11:05) | |

| I Got No Reason To Live | With King mButu, mid 1980's. Clancy might have been crashing the party with that fake Hammond. |
