Don't Give Up

Make Me Smile

Who was she? What was she? What did she see?
What did she find there at the edge of the sea?
She liked to pretend to be blind.
She didn't want to see.
Her thin sweet hair stuck to the maple tree. 
She's coming in. She's coming in. She's coming in.
She didn't want to be where she was
which was inside her own mind.
She said, take me outside.
My brain's my own bully, a derailed train.
She liked to pretend to be deaf.
She didn't want to hear.
She had seven fingers
could do more than you and me.
She didn't want to be where she was
which was inside her own mind.
She said, take me outside.
My brain's my own bully, a derailed train.
In the sun her blue eyes shone like a loaded gun.
In the clouds her blue eyes wept like a baby outloud.
In the snow her blue eyes froze like a lake's icy glow.
She didn't want to be where she was
which was inside her own mind.
She said, take me outside.
My brain's my own bully, a derailed train.
She's coming in. She's coming in. She's coming in.
She's going out. She's going out. She's going home.

This is a song in response to a Drum Track that Ava from .spinthedrum made, some time ago.. the original was just guitars... Wilfried Hanrath(W:I:L-o'-the wisp) recently added a 
 very interesting bass line and a synth track.. I very much like the addition and am proud to present this new "Bisquits and Tea..

'A Dùthaich Roinnte' (A Divided Nation) is a Jazz Fusion track and is a reminder to remain positive and steadfast in these particular times of division amongst nations and not least my own.

Rough Country - Paploviante Open Collaboration Offer

A good representation of live solo guitar performances (1998 - 2004)
Warm, soaring motion. The energizing sativa of listening experiences. Auspicious symbols and good news. The acoustic guitar shifts the weight of the world with gracious, communal vitality.  Effect: A reconciliation between conflicting perspectives, darkness and light, past/present/future, dream/reality, empty/full, lost/found. Each track is nuanced and balanced. An outstanding showcase. ~ Kodiak

News from the Pub

Walk in the park

My 1945 Martin 0-18 had tuning peg problems and found the little brass gear teeth were bent, not allowing some strings to tune, so used a dremel thin metal cutting tip to make very minor cuts to the tuning peg gears, brass, and straightened the teeth and then the pegs all tuned without needed a pair of pliers:) so new strings and was totally surprised at how GREAT it sounds and found a great chord, in the open C tuning I love. so wrote a tune with that chord in mind and I use Studio one DAW, no EQ, only some compressor and reverb and nothing else, so the sound is a lot like what I hear when it is in my hands playing.

I am a finger-style guitarist living on the Texas high plains.  At the core of my music is melody that is inspired and informed by my Christian faith, family, friends, and countless influences through the years from the great composers, to jazz, folk, rock, Latin, Celtic, and the many fine musicians I have come to love on the Cloud, some I have been privileged to collaborate with.  Thanks for stopping by to have a listen. Comments are always welcome. Feel free to click on the picture of any track to learn more about it.
