blues electric signorile
Artist picture
Blues guitarist, pianist and keyboard synth player, and composer of neo-classical music. Lead guitarist of Blues-Rock Bands.
I have been a musician - performer and composer - for close to 50 years, and I've been playing guitar for about 42 of those years. I have become mostly a player of Blues as of late and recently was invited to be the lead guitarist of a revived Blues-Rock 60's band. This picture is of me, and yes, Les Paul! And that's my Les Paul Deluxe, which I play along with my Clapton signature stratocaster.

Story behind the song
This is dedicated to New York City and everyone who suffered as a result of the attacks on the WTC on September 11, 2001. It is also the lasts of the Circle of Blues left to do (as I didn't do them in order). It's a slow blues in G. This is a slow mellow blues. I recorded two versions of this - one for each tower of the WTC. This one was recorded on my Les Paul - the other one was done on my Stratocaster. It was recorded in a single take as I wanted the feelings to be raw and the music unexpected -with defects and all exposed - as I think befits 9-11. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone hurt on this terrible day. I live very close to NYC and I was able to see the two towers on fire from my home and I could see the smoke rising looking in my rear view mirror as I drove to work that day. I will never forget it and I hope this music does that day, and all it represents, justice.
