blackbox bytes
updated 3/25/2025
As opposed to blackbox multi-camera recordings, sometimes I want toput together a quick idea to share. Those will be less than a minute “soundbytes” that can be easily shared in Instagram. They are often single camera one-take ideas that I will post on this “blackbox bytes” page.
The full song blackbox recordings can be found on the main page:

Blackbox Byte: Double Talk
The most recent guest to the blackbox is David Morrison. We dusted off a song that I wrote and that he and I used to play together in the band Raspberry Pie. Marty Purdy came in late in the process and helped us whip the background vocals into shape (but he does not appear on camera.) Patrick Fitzgerald: Guitar, vocals. David Morrison: Piano, vocals. Marty Purdy: Vocals.

Blackbox Byte: Dudes by David Mead
A very special visitor came to the blackbox recently: My daughter Lucy Fitzgerald and I have a very special affinity for the David Mead album “Dudes” including the title track. And Lucy is, by all accounts, one cool dude. Lucy Fitzgerald: Vocals. Patrick Fitzgerald: Guitar, mandola, vocals.
