You are an extraordinary artist. Unequivocally the most gifted player / composer that I've ever heard on the guitar.

What a soothing song, sir. Mad respect for you!

Excellent Classical technique. A Wonderful Weaving of Precision and a Gentle Gliding Touch.

Where the melody, especially the repeated notes, alternate above the accompaniment reminds me of Bach (Partita #3)

Very nice. It is obvious you love music. Excellent guitar playing. 

Another beautiful piece...like honey to the ears, such a sweet ambience.

Living my life with you, girl
Has put my life in a real whirl

My love for you is running so deep
When I'm awake and when I'm asleep
It'll be there forever

I'll always love you
No matter what
I'll always be with you
No matter what

When you tell me you love me
My heart beats harder inside me

You're so beautiful; I love you so much
So charming and sweet; I can't get enough
I'll love you forever

I'll always love you
No matter what
I'll always be with you
No matter what

You're so beautiful; I love you so much
So charming and sweet; I can't get enough
It'll be there forever

I'll always love you
No matter what
I'll always be with you
No matter what

Shirley Barr is a lovely singer, composer and songwriter that I have had the honor of collaborating with. She wrote a beautiful text and sang it to one of my songs. Here is the result. ;)

Big and warm thanks Shirley for a very nice work and for your positive and cheerful attitude and help to lift this little piece of music. ;)

New version of song written in December 2022. Recorded on phone, played on 12 string

I won't say that wrong is right
Won't pretend that it's alright
I won't say it
Won't say right is wrong
I won't play along
I just tried to make it easy
Self-betrayal c'est la vie
I won't say it
Now those days are gone
I won't play along
I'm running out of time
I know that I've been wrong
The true light
Will guide me along
I won't say it
Won't say right is wrong
I won't play along
I won't say that wrong is right 
Say what you want 
I won't backbite
I won't say it
Now those days are gone 
Won't say wrong is right
I'll follow the light
Won't say right is wrong 
I won't play 
Won't play along
'Cause I'm running out of time
I know that I've been wrong
The true light
Will guide me along
I'm running out of time
I know that I've been wrong
The true light
Will guide me along
Will guide me along
Will guide me along
I won't play along

Taken To Heaven

This page is space for my musical ideas. I spent considerable time learning classical guitar but am influenced by different musical genres. Most recordings use a nylon classical guitar and the songs are arranged for multiple acoustic guitar players. The recordings I have included in this page are mostly rough ideas that I may further develop before entering the recording studio. So I welcome your comments and advice.

I would like to thank all of you who have listened, liked, reposted and commented on my music.  Knowing that my music brings some positive experience to you means a lot, and it encourages me to put more time in my music.

++++. PROFILE NOTES ++++

Once a wannabe, not yet a has been.

It had been over a decade since I put together a song,
and for that matter basically walked away from music altogether.
Losing hope that I would ever have the time to put into music again,
I finally gave away my 3rd music studio.
I ran across SoundCloud around 2013,
and thought I might take what few songs I had recorded, 
and lay them to rest there.
And there they languished.

HOWEVER, around 2017 I went back to SoundCloud
and began listening a little more and a little more,
and actively taking a part in visiting the sites
of so many wonderful musicians and beautiful songs.
Also, more and more often I would discover that these artists
were blossoming everywhere around the world,
and most definitely worthy of high praise and compliments.

Then suddenly, these old dead soundtracks right here
began to have a bit of life breathed back into them.
From the kind words that began to come trickling in,
I thought, maybe, someday I might give this music thing a try again.

The thing that finally pushed me into action
was a particular SoundCloud artist…Sander Heerings,
AKA https://soundcloud.com/wane-of-summer
 

Not only was he encouraging,
but he began faithfully responding to a few questions,
then a barrage of them.

The final result seemed to be that after a couple of months,
the Old Grinder now has a 4th studio and, finally, a new song.
I hope there may be many more to come.

Thank you Sander, and to the multitude that have dropped in
to listen to these old songs, 
and most of all, for perking up my spirits.

At Peace
