The Last Whale
The Last Whale
The Last Whale.. a sad song... an angry song . . how we can kill off a whole species makes me cringe . . if I were the last whale, I'd be want'in to kick butt.
Nogales
Nogales
Nogales , a border town that straddles the Arizona/Mexican border. Actually the town is divided right down the middle . That's really what the song is about . . . that procrustean no-mans land between the north and south ends of town.'
Forsythia Interlude
Forsythia Interlude
Forsythia Interlude...we spend so much time running around, just trying to get the most mundane things done. This is a song about an interlude. . a daydream . . . best listened to soaking in a hot tub sucking down a glass of tequila.
Silk Brocade
Silk Brocade
Silk Brocade.. the title song, a braid of voicing and harmony... played on Silk and Steel strings.
The Best acoustic instrumental on Garageband!
Inspiring...Makes me feel like getting my steel string out and playing it again. I listened twice, then played along on my classical and I'm listening now as I review. Love the strong opening on the E string... sets the mood wonderfully. Superlative playing. wonderful arrangement. String dynamics are out of sight love the way you slide into your progressions, pick work never misses a note. Great dramatic pauses in tempo and chord work. Great production values. What can I say this is the best acoustic instrumental I've heard on Garageband. Stunning well done.
P.S. listened 5 times...still listening

Very good work here. A very nice sentiment is behind this music. I couldn't agree with you more!!
The LAST WHALE is a total work of art!!!
