What a lovely surprise Debra came up with when I asked if she would like to collaborate on an earlier released song "Nice to See You".  She couldn't get past "Ode to Joy" when she first started, and I told her "Let's just run with it and see what other Christmas music might go with the song".  Her genius for counterpoint is full of charm and wit and on full display in this song.  Hear more of her beautiul music @debra_buesking.  We wish you all a very merry Christmas and the happiest of New Years:)

It never sleeps

I've known Chuck Aaron for as long as I've been on Sound Cloud and have always admired his songwriting and fine guitar work, so I was delighted when he invited me to add a few bits to this Merle classic penned by Sonny Throckmorton. Thanks for including me on it Chuck, it was a pleasure!

The Way I Am (Cover Collab w/ Chuck Aaron)

A trans-Pacific cooperation at it's best. Josh (Entheogenic Psychonaught) asked me if I was interested in working on a project together. I had a basic idea that he transformed with his amazing drum, bass, organ and guitar wizardry into what you can hear. Many thanks to Josh for giving me this opportunity and for all of his time spent on this. 
It's quite amazing what can be achieved through modern technology. I never imagined being able to work with someone on the other side of the world on a music project and that someone other than my family might hear the result (showing my age here).

You Can't Take It With You (by Paul Kelly)

This is the last song in my Trilogy. My Character has now " Washed his soul in the River " he has become a " Better Man " and now he is heading " Into the Light " 
Rejuvenated and free from his burdens, oh if only it was so easy..ha ha ha 
I hope you like this one its a Re-mix of a song i wrote 2 year ago.

Avenue of Broken Dreams

The earlier incarnation of Blink Twice was more dark ambient. This track dates back to around 1994-1995. It even predates the first Blink Twice CD "Other Locations", released in 1996. It is one of my personal favorites from the archives for it's haunting beauty rather than droning terror.
I have been thinking about re-releasing "Other Locations" on Bandcamp with some additional bonus tracks from back in that time period.

Blink Twice - Phantom's Requiem

Seagull gives this song a beautiful Oriental flavor taking one to a faraway place where passing time is seen in shadows cast. Kudos my friend:)
Spoken word introduction:

I left the house a young man,
Confident in stride,
Not knowing where I'd go.
As the sun raced across the sky,
I noticed out of the corner of my eye,
An old man,
An old man in the shadow.

Close The Lid

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.
