Pretty and placid, kinda like...well, you know.

great stuff... I went on a fingerstyle guitar listening binge last week and this is a great complement. Very pretty.

I really like this melody, it is very haunting.  Good job!

A little ditty I made up in F tuning (fCFCD), recorded quickly for archival purposes so I can get on with my day. 

The title "Piss On A Platter" is slang for a very calm lake with a glassy surface. Its a dumb name but I had to call it something.

A long-held dream of mine has now been realized with my recent purchase and assembly of a gourd banjo kit from Carver Banjos.  It was cheap, easy and fun, and who doesn't like that?  Learn more about Brian Carver's quest to ebanjelize the world: http://carverbanjos.com/

So now, I've got little Ranger Gord (any Red Green fans out there?) standing by when I get a break in afternoon chores and want to blow off a little musical steam...which is what this is.  Being new to a fretless instrument, my intonation is a little dodgy, and my fingernail keeps hitting the gourd with an annoying click, but I'm having fun.  Hopefully, you will, too.  If not, don't despair--it's only a minute-and-a-half, and I'll be outta here in no time.

The name of this monkeying around comes from an epithet my grand-dad used to hurl at me whenever I played a trick on him or got the upper hand in one of our wrestling matches (which I always did, of course).  "You cockeyed monkey!", he'd say, in fake(?) exasperation.

My other grandfather called me a "cooteroo".  There's a simple tune for that, as well: https://soundcloud.com/hanklebury/cooteroo

Cockeyed Monkey

Sounds from Thursday evening

See what happens when you hold her to the light and shake her
She changes forms and flits around the room
I do not make her
Suddenly I felt heavy and warm all over
Like an evening in the sultry Summer hideaway
All sober

Like the angels holding congress with the crows
Up on Silver Hill where even God don't go

Skittering 'cross the surface like some water on a hot range
There you were in florid glory
Tellin' stories, raging
Like someone lightin' up the powder with a spark
Seems that no one knows the nature of the dark
Though it's all around us

If just one instance up and flies
Through the dark into the light
The prison ain't a prison anymore, is it?
(Is it) push or pull or tug or shove?
How to know which one to love?
The leaving or the staying cup I pour

Leaving Cup

N.E.N.M.E. is a chamber group that performs both original compositions along with arrangements of songs you wouldn't normally associate with chamber music. From The Beatles to Yes to David Bowie to Metallica... from Duke Ellington to Bobby Vinton to Frank Zappa to Steve Reich... from Genesis to Emerson Lake & Palmer to Pink Floyd to Star Wars and even Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies!

From its earliest beginnings in the Medieval period to the present, chamber music has been a reflection of the changes in the technology and the society that produced it. Because of its intimate nature, chamber music has been described as “the music of friends.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe described chamber music as “rational people conversing.” This conversational paradigm has been a thread woven through the history of chamber music from the end of the 18th century to the present and plays a strong role in our music.

SARAH (WEEN COVER)

I've been playing banjo for about 12 years. I should spend more time learning traditional tunes and songs but when I pick it up I usually want to mess around with songs like "Beat It" and things I make up.
