A few of the older projects
The Doodle– instrumental recorded in 2022. Home studio Recording on small amp This really deserves to be redone, but I am definitely OK with this version. Family life forces choices. Practice OR record, but you won’t have time for both.
Some Other Dude’s Blues Instrumental I recorded in 2004. Guitar improvisation over a traditional blues progression, played through a small amplifier.
I once saw a documentary in which a Black female singer — maybe it was Nina Simone — remark that white people can’t have the blues. I thought to myself, Lady, you’ve never been in a bad marriage.
May Love Hold You Tight – Recorded sometime in 2011. I have always loved Pink Floyd. I used to have most of their albums on vinyl. Wish You Were Here is one of the most simple beautiful tunes ever written. There are so many musical layers in the song, and it just invites improvisation. I had played it so many times, I began to hear a counter melody which I exploited for this rendering. There’s just one acoustic guitar and me doing vocal overdubs (My vocals are pretty terrible, but I am through being ashamed of my abilities).
