Old rock band guy from the '60s. Bass player mostly in bands. Play guitar, piano & mandolin for fun. These recordings are things I've made at home.

I'm a semi-retired musician who has been playing music since the 1960s. I have mostly played bass in the bands, but I also play guitar, mandolin & piano.

Story behind the song

I've always liked this song.  Very nice chord changes and melody.
I recorded myself singing all the harmonies I could improvise in one sitting.  I wanted to capture the feel of the guys sitting around camp singing with an acoustic guitar.

Lyrics

I'm a sun of the prairie
  and the wind that sweeps the plains
     and I'm goin' to Arizona
        just a rider in the rain
