Taking a walk along the waterfront in the frosty spring sun.
Barefingered blues picking. Great thanks go out to Mike Dowling for being a constant and obvious source of inspiration.
Trying to keep my son awake on a bicycle ride home from the beach produced this.
The result of several hours of staring out over a garden, guitar in hand.
Something I once heard, but don't really remember. Delphi in E, no reverb (a sonic departure for me) just the pretty guitar sound.
Every lick in this one was borrowed from the Steve James vocabulary of cool moves. Homage a Steve! And, as Billy gibbons says: Hi-Fi, Lo-Fi - No-Fi is all fine with me.
My take on Booker White's hard driving anthem.
Entirely spontaneous and unedited. The vocal delivery is anything if not honest, the guitar playing driven by my love for the tricone.
Ah, what the heck. This is what it sounds like when I just have fun. I don't mean any disrespect whatsoever, I love Tommy Johnson, just could't remember the words - any words.
Inspired by Ray Charles, this is a paraphrase of some chord progressions that reminds me of the tune that starts with the words "It brings a tear into my eye.."
Recorded on my IRiver when the idea hit me. Tricone, no picks, living with the past.
Finn's 12-string again. Inspired by a certain Blind Willie McTell lick, and featuring a funny mistake!
I could do a version of this every day for the rest of my life. On Finn's lovely Estralita 12 string.
A good friend lent me his 12-string Estralita. This little theme seemed to fit with the sound of it.
On the Delphi, no fingerpicks. All credit for the way this tune is played here goes to Mike Dowling, from whom I first heard it.
RJ: Can't do him justice, but you can give the songs your best shot, which is what I couldn't help to try here. Public domain, so hopefully no problem. I enjoyed to just holler!
