Artist picture
Mixtures of folk, rock, blues, country and ethnic themes with layered vocals and harmony. Also Instrumentals, Synthesis, electronic and Psychedellic works.
I specialize in genre blending, and retro rock. I workedwith my son Timothy to develop some new and exciting mixes. Tim accompanied me in :There's Nothing New Under the Sun", Instruments in "Corporate World, and the arrangement and instruments in "The Evil Eye". Timothy is a unique guitarist and pianist. I have been stuck in a work cycle for a couple of years that have not been conducive to developing more material. I have some time off coming up so maybe I will take the opportunity to do so. A sampling of my most recent works of Instrumentals, Vocalizations, and Synthesis is available on my music page. Whatever the heck it is I'm doing right (or wrong) let me know... Life is lonely at the bottom. I am a porch musician. I have never played for income although it would be nice. I play a wide variety of mixtures of folk, rock, blues, and ethnic music. I am not a guitarist who sings, I am a vocalist and songwriter who plays guitar. I've been a singer all my life, for a half century, and played various instruments almost as long. I don't pay much attention to popular music trends, I'm kind of on my own path. Some people like most of it, most people like some of it. It's worth going through my tunes to see what I've got because of the wide variety. Drop me a comment. I use suggestions in new works and sometimes rework my old stuff if I get reasonable feedback. Thanks for stopping by. If no one shows interest there isn't much incentive to keep on posting the new works. Fred

Story behind the song
I wrote this thirty years ago. I was young and inexperienced on the guitar. I wasn't in a group, and my brother made fun uf it. It didn't really sound that good with me just singing and chunking away on my old Silvertone. I put it away and forgot about it. I found it in my dusty old folder and worked it out recently. I think it came out kind of cool.
Lyrics
SHOTGUN By Fred Miller circa 1975 Recorded and copyright 2004 I’ve got a Shotgun pointed at me. Shotgun, I won’t disagree. Shotgun, I’ll do whatever you say. Just let me live another day. Shotgun I got no beef with you. Don’t make no mistake, whatever you do. I give up, my hands are in the air. Just tell me where to go and I’ll go anywhere. Shotgun, you’re the boss. Shotgun, it looks like I lost. Shotgun, I don’t know you, and I’ll forget I saw you as long as you don’t shoot. NO! Don’t pull that trigger, I don’t want to die, Please don’t shoot me here, there just ain’t no reason why. Shotgun, but if I get away, I’ll be back another day, with a shotgun pointed at you. If you shoot and miss then later I’ll shoot at you. And Shotgun you won’t get away, so just let me go and I’ll be on my way
