I named this 'The Turkey Strut' after visiting my son who lives on Las Pavadas (flock of turkeys in Spanish), plus wild turkeys are everywhere in CA. Hope this swing tune puts a little Spring in your step! On mandolin, guitar, acoustic bass, brushes on drum.

The Turkey Strut

A backwoods-sounding, bluegrass/old timey tune, with guitar, mandolin, banjo.

Willie's Creek

A Cajun two-step dance tune I'm dedicating to Al Berard, an all-around great Cajun musician who passed on a couple of years ago. I took a week of guitar lessons from Al at Balfa Camp in 2006, near Ville Platte, LA when I was playing in a semi-Cajun band, the Fresneaux Ramblers. Al also wanted to make an album of Cajun music with the mandolin so this is my nod to that unfinished project. On mandolin, guitar, acoustic bass, harmonica, banjo, brushes and the traditional percussion instrument, the triangle. A mudbug is Cajun slang for crawfish.
