A blues boogie for Fearless Leader, kind of a sythesis of Howlin' Wolf and Calvin Trillin
Valdez Squeeze (the Price of Gasoline) Valdez Squeeze (the Price of Gasoline)
An update to a song previously recorded with Good Without One, featuring Noble strat, Taylor CE110, fretless Fender pbass, and Hydrogen drums. I recently realized that I previously hadn't recorded on my own, so here it is with updated lyric.
BOMBaSt Away BOMBaSt Away
A recasting, in a jazz/swing mode, of Bombastic Blather of Budget Hawks.
I'll Go On I'll Go On
This version updates a song originally recorded by "fred" way back in 1971 and released in 2002 by World in Sound.
First, a Waltz First, a Waltz
This was the original idea behind "The Head's the Best Part", recorded by the band, fred, in 1973 and published on the album, Notes on a Picnic. The lead guitar voice is from the Eastman John Pisano.
Spring into Fall Spring into Fall
Another jaunty little instrumental piece for the Levin Deluxe.
Stairway FROM Heaven (version 2) Stairway FROM Heaven (version 2)
a re-recording of the 2011 version, this time using a vintage 1943 Levin Deluxe (with add-on magnetic pickup) on lead and rhythm, accompanied by fretless Fender P-bass and Hydrogen drum software.

A departure from my most recent efforts. A song very much influenced by Yes, intended for the band, fred, but never performed, dating back to the early 1970's
Mango Chutney Redux Mango Chutney Redux
An all new rendering of Mango Chutney, using the 1943 Levin Deluxe and adding percussion (Hydrogen drum software) and synth tracks, and a solo on the fretless Fender P bass.
He Said She Said He Said She Said
Just in time for the hearings on Thursday, September 27, a little diddy for the spineless Senate's radical choice to replace Justice Kennedy.
Long Ago and Far Away Long Ago and Far Away
A reminiscence from around 1968. Tracking includes Gurian JR acoustic guitar, Fender fretless P-bass, Hydrogen drum software, and my main squeeze TP Noble strat with effects from PreSonus Studio 1.
No Bananas No Bananas
Not to be confused with "Yes, We Have No Bananas", a version of which I used to fingerpick. This one is a bouncy instrumental in an altered blues format (where and when is that V chord?)
Subhero Subhero
An acoustic, thematically related companion of Hero, recorded here with two tracks, one lead and one flat-picked rhythm from my Gurian JR.
