In The Mean Time
Actually, I don't recall when I wrote this piece (although I'm sure it was sometime not long after high school (probably 1984 or 1985) when I was really pissed off about something (or somebody).
This is one of the few "darker" pieces I have where I was basically expressing my anger and wrote this piece instead of doing something stupid.
It's a solo piece on my steel string guitar.

Just Enough
I wrote most of this a couple years ago but left it behind...not sure what to do with it.
I reworked it a bit and added a second layer of my acoustic steel string guitar "pretending" to be an electric.
I keep wanting to add more, thinking I should build it up with several layers.
But I think I've finally decided, enough is Just Enough.

Almost
Driven by the faint distant hopes of what might be--what might have been--we all too often find that what we want or what we need is just out of reach.
...leaving us misdirected and wasting in the realm of the Almost.

Hi! I'm Dan Tharp, a solo acoustic guitar player who plays classical and steel string guitar....but only in my spare time. I don't make a living as a musician.

I've been playing guitar off and on since I was 13/14 but never could bring myself to perform or record because of "stage fright" and that stupid/crazy voice in my head that keeps telling me I'm not good enough to make a living at it.

So, I pay the bills the old fashioned way (with a real job) and play just for fun.
Well I'm in my 40's now and I've been thinking maybe it's time to get over that and start recording and maybe(?) performing again.

I hope you enjoy the music.
If you do, please pass this site along to your friends!
I'd really like as many people as possible to hear it.
I appreciate any feedback anyone has to offer...good or bad.

Later!
Dan
