Confucius Sa (Confucius Say)

I was inspired to record this after using the rhythm part as a jam track for only one or two takes.

So Long Its Been Good To Know You

I recorded this in pretty much one take. Sorry about the quality. I needed to illustrate an alternate lyric route to this, what was once a well known song.

I grew up (ha! That's a good one!) in Haworth, NJ then sent to private school in Cheshire, CT before entering Syracuse University. Traveled extensivly across the U.S. reaching various points on the West coast many times before settling in S.F. After finishing my degree at Syracuse there was a stint in Stockbridge, MA and then back to NJ where I reside today.
Band/artist history
I started playing guitar back just before entering High School locally in NJ. I didn't excel at it and my brother borrowed my guitar one day while I was doing my homework. It was a cheap folk / classical guitar. My mother found him playin' the guitar, and in a fit of rage, did her own rendition of a classic Pete Townsend windmill and smashed the guitar into smitherines. She felt guilty enough though to take me to purchase another guitar, cheap as it was, bless her.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I'm looking to form a collective of sorts - Contact me about getting together.
Your musical influences
While I was raised on the pop / classic rock of the radio when younger, I went on to become envolved in following the Grateful Dead and other Jam Bands, I now have an affinity towards acoustic music - Folk / Blues / Jazz and most recently Bluegrass.
What equipment do you use?
I am in the habit now of using my HD28LSV, however when out and about I may bring only a D28. I also have inheirted a Yamaha Clavinova and can pass for a beginning player.
Anything else?
