Contrarian
Contrarian
This is a fun, upbeat acoustic rocker that morphs into an implied Disco beat ending with a tongue-in-cheek rap. So, you tell me the genre. You might ask, "What's a contrarian?" It's someone who marches to the beat of their own drum.
Walkin' Song
Walkin' Song
Lightly jazzy tune, reminds me a bit of Craig Chaquico. The bongo line almost sounds like foot-steps hence, "Walkin' Song".
Heavy In The Middle
Heavy In The Middle
This tune is a bit pompous in it's opening theme. But in the middle, it becomes rather Celtic with some rapid-fire notes and it's big djimbae beat. We didn't have a Boudran (sp?) or, we would've used that. It gets heavy in the middle.
Daddy's Daughter
Daddy's Daughter
This is a quirky piece starting out in an unusual 5/4 figure before switching to 4/4 time. It's busy with a lot of changes. Once it repeats a section it never returns it just moves on through the remaining changes to its final conclusion.
Dolphins Play in the Marco
Dolphins Play in the Marco
This is strictly a guitar/djimbae duet. I often play it out as a solo piece. It's a great mood/vibe changer that I use just for that in my live shows. Moderately upbeat, not too technical.
Robbie's Tune
Robbie's Tune
Slow, thoughtful and perhaps, moody guitar intrumental ballad ala Santana. This is a beautiful piece. Just go with it.
The Storm
The Storm
Pulled from my arsenal of guitar idea recordings. This tune evokes the image of the calm before and then, the storm and the calming afterward. Finger-style rhythm behind a flat-pick lead.
Slippery When Wet
Slippery When Wet
Sexy, sneaky, hip-grinding, greasy, down and dirty slippery blues shuffle. This is the one where we finally get a shy lead guitar player who is trying to stay in the background. Unheard of, right? They're always in your face! Not this time.
