Lord Let Me Go Lord Let Me Go
An original song about a man wanting to leave his town and marry his sweetheart far away. A gift for his bride!
I am a Chippewa Indian with a heart for bluegrass. I have been blessed with an ability for music from God. I enjoy using this talent and bringing music to others. Music is ment to share. I love to play as much as I can and look for others to learn and share. I love music!
Check out my other band called Midnight Train in the Blues section. I play lead guitar.Band/artist history
I am a Canadian that has played music since I was in grade 7 and have been a road musician and a studio musician for too many years. I have included the musical style of bluegrass recently and I am starting to make new friends.Have you performed in front of an audience?Play all over. Mostly I write and arrange songs now. Love the studio and plan to be back there next month. When I am not "pick'n and grin'n" you may find me rocking out or ripp'in out some blues at some clubs. You will also find me at Church every Sunday picking and singing praises to the Lord.
Your musical influences
I like all types of music and have respect for other musicians that produce quality work. I was raised on rock, heavy rock, blues, jazz-fussion, funk, folk and pop music. So, I like Bluegrass with a hard driving sound!What equipment do you use?
On the two songs the following instruments were used: banjo,mandolin,upright bass(3 string with heavy weed wacker line), violin, slide guitar and guitar.Anything else?
I would like to point out that both songs were done on a single take with all the band members playing around one microphone set up in the studio at 8am on a Saturday morning!
My guitar is a Martin D 16 and is named Pearlean. We go everywhere together...lol!
