Hard-rocking, guitar-driven blues-influenced music.
Note June 2024: All of the songs with a RED guitar picture tag to the left were recorded LIVE over backing tracks created with an Nux Loop Core and an Ammoon Pock-Rock. Glarry GTL semi-hollow tele copy guitar used. Mini digital voice recorder with Shure and Fender mikes captured it all live. All the songs with yellow guitar picture tag are the previously recorded blues style songs. These are some songs I started writing and recorded in late 2005, early 2006. I recorded them at home in my loft using cassette machines and a couple of microphones. Pretty barebones stuff. I keep writing and adding new songs as I get the motivation. Life provides lots of that. Check out the videos that I just added, all performed with Crazy Mixed Up World. (see Crazy Mixed up World at reverbnation.com). Songs sound best with headphones.

Story behind the song
I used to play in Southern New Jersey with a couple of funky guys named Howard Valentine and Karl Katherman. They used to lay down some b*** ing funk and it was real easy for me to add some licks to it. This was one of our tune-up jams that I just thought of some words for it.
Lyrics
FUNKY WHITE BOY(DP) (Written by David R. Pankoski Mar 2006) Whos that funky white boy, strutting down the street Can tell by the rhythym of his steps hes grooving to the beat Yeah who’s this funky white boy, dressed all to the ts Smooth talking Sob gonna bring you to your knees. Yes hes a funky white boy, grooving to the beat. Give this boy some distance, & let him move his feet. Whos this funky white boy, playing his guitar. If he keeps playing that funky groove hes gonna be a star. Whos this funky white boy, playing with some soul. Hes got the fire in his hands, never gonna get old. Yes hes a funky white boy, he don’t mess around. Put that guitar in his hand, hes gonna lay that boogie down. Whos this funky white boy, hes really getting it down. Who would know hes old & gray, yeah hes been around. Whos this funky white boy, make that guitar bend. Playing funk & soul & blues, like its never gonna end. Yes hes a funky white boy, gonna get it down Smooth talking slow walking, yeah the word is getting around.
