I start out my tune Sonaran Sun, Derrick Fludd joins in and plays the lead while I play rhythm. This is from a 1992 cassette recording.
acoustic new age world fusion
Johnny Asia hails from Woodstock, N.Y., so the cosmic energy may just be in the water. Whatever the source, Asia's transcendent, genre-spanning guitar journeys
"Johnny Asia hails from Woodstock, N.Y., so the cosmic energy may just be in the water. Whatever the source, Asia's transcendent, genre-spanning guitar journeys chart new musical cartographies, juxtaposing Django Reinhardt-like hard swing with dangling fusion harmonics and the space-age chord structures of John McLaughlin." - Editor's review, music.download.com "Johnny's music is universal in the truest sense of the term. It embraces the musics of this world and anticipates those yet to be discovered in the future. Johnny's riveting performance transported the audience across time to places MTV can only dream about." - Joe McPhee, Jazz musician "the mans' fusion of classic-flamenco-cosmological remains eternally memorable.....a cosmonaut to infinity... the music is a beatific mind-blow"- Kitty Montgomery, Daily Freeman, Kingston, NY

Story behind the song
I met Derrick in 1992 at an artists's loft in New York City. I was playing guitar at a friend's loft, Derrick had a loft on the floor below. He knocked on the door, with a big smile, carrying a guitar and asked, "Mind if I join you"? I had a cassette recorder, this is what happened that night.
