Canterbury is a hard rocking instrumental with Dobro as the lead voice. Reese Wynans on B-3, Pasi Leppikangas on drums and Ron de la Vega on bass. The guitar solo is a '64 Strat through a '60 Concert.

This song starts out as a fingerstyle ballad then takes some cool turns. There is a big lap slide solo that I like near the end of the song.

The cd I just finished recording is called Ring Of Fire. I wrote 8 songs on the cd and cover thte Johnny Cash song, "Ring Of Fire" as a slide guitar instrumental with a Bo Diddley groove. Also Bill Monroe's tune,"Gold Rush", which features dobro as the lead voice and some nice reharmonization at the end of the song. All the songs include a killer band of musicians, which include Reese Wynans from Double Trouble, Pasi Leppikangas from John Cowan's band and Ron de la Vega from Nanci Griffith's band.
I also have another cd of original instrumentals, called "1511". A few of the song downloads here are from that cd.
