Living Beings Climate Control

Hi I’m Don,

My first love in this life, is music. I like to sing and write, and I just finished recording a new Album with my friend Marty Splawn. We call this Album, the Living Beings – Climate Control Project. I have MP3 audio clips of some of my new songs in the Music section of this Blog and here is the link to Download the Whole Album Free at!

Living Beings are, Don Bishop and Marty Splawn. We have just finished recording a new Album. It’s called Living Beings – Climate Control. It has taken almost a year and a half of Thursdays, but the recording is finally done. This is kind of a Studio Project - Album. There are only two of us, so it would be kind of hard for us to play live right now. But if people like our songs and I can find band members to play Marty’s music, who knows… Marty plays all the instruments and composed the music for the songs. And I wrote all the lyrics, except on Is it True Lord, which was a Poem written by Kristina Hensley. Marty played and recorded the music and recorded my vocals and we mixed and remixed the songs together, except for a couple of little changes I made on my computer after I got them home;) Don’t tell Marty!:)

Marty and I have worked together since about 1997 on and off. We have done several different styles of music, from 60’s - 70’s - 80’s - 90’s Rock & Roll, to almost Rockabilly to almost Metal:) Including a couple of acoustic songs. Our first set of songs are on the DonSongs Album. You can go to DonSongs.com to check them out and download them too. I have really enjoyed our sessions and hope you enjoy the songs we came up with too. Marty has been playing music since he was a teenager and teaches guitar, bass and drum lessons. I am pretty much a late bloomer. I always wanted to write and sing, but I didn’t think I had the talent and thought I was too shy to sing in front of people when I was younger. Now I don’t care, I just want to make music!:) I almost had a real band going back in about 95’. We practiced every week for about 6 months, but we never played out. Everyone got married and busy, so now there’s just no time for them. I on the other hand have allot of time, and would still love to start a “real band”. Right now though, I’m just really glad to have been able to record these songs and realize some of my dream:) Hope you like our Songs:)

I like to write Poems too. And I have a few on my web page at DonSongs.com, along with links to Download clips and the whole DonSongs Album too.

I like to take pictures wherever I go. Mostly of the Sky and Clouds and Scenery. And sometimes I love to see what kind of weird efx I can add to them. I have a friend who is a photographer. I use to be pretty camera shy, until I met Lee. He taught me, that if I didn’t learn to put my hands down and pose, there would only be really bad Pics of me for the world to see! So I learned to enjoy him constantly taking pictures of me and everybody else around him, wherever we go:). So, some of the Pics of me are Lees. And maybe I added just a little efx. But some are self portraits. From those times when I didn’t have my photographer with me:) Just set it on the hood of the truck and set the timer!:) If you would like to write me, my e-mail address is Dweb98@Charter.net Hope you enjoy, my stuff:!:)
