Wide Open (Dust And Dirt)- The Black Seeds - wide open jam !

60 years and I still get a kick out of playing.

Mountain Songs is a project dedicated to my brother Brian Reeves (aka Rocky Mountain, 1948–2012), an accomplished songwriter, guitarist and arranger.  He was the creative force behind so many of the songs on this page.  If you have time, please click for lyrics and track history. 
This is for you Bri, with love and thanks from us all.   We miss you. (Gary Reeves)

Passionate Musician & Sound Explorer Clarinetist (classic & jazz), guitarist, and home producer—my musical journey is all about creation, improvisation, and connecting with fellow artists. From jazz manouche to electronic experiments, I embrace all forms of music and love blending genres.
