This is a medley of two pieces; “Anji” written by Davey Graham and “Walk, don’t run” written by Johnny Smith. 
When I was learning how to play Anji the descending bass line reminded me of descending chords of “The Ventures” version of “Walk, don’t run” which was one of the first things I ever learnt to play. So I started playing them together but adding a simple bass line to the lead. I then discovered that The Ventures version wasn't the original and so I decided to learn that version and it became what I played along with Anji. I now very rarely play them apart.

EDIT: a few years later and a now know that the version of Walk don't run I play is based on Chet Atkins version.

My great example of classical guitar, Frank Hiemenz, asked me to make things clearer.

I am Helmut Keller and I grew up in the mountains of Bavaria/Germany. When I was born, my first musical activity was yodeling ;-)
With 13 years I began studying the classical guitar and was very interested in bigband music, but could never play in a bigband, because I didn' find enough comusicians with the same particular liking of this kind of music.

So I played  guitar or bass or drums in rockbands, dixieland bands and cover bands. In the age of 25  I started working as a sound engineer in studios and on live performances in Germany and Italy for about 20 years.

Now, since 1994 I'm living in San Martino, a small medieval village with 35 inhabitants in Tuscany/Italy.
Working in studios didn't leave me the necessary time to elaborate my guitar playing, so my musical skills petered out. When I retired 4 years ago, I came up to light this unsatisfied desire to make music again.
I reanimated my guitar, bought me the sequencer program Cubase and started with some simple songs. Then I got a little more encouraged and began searching for good sound libraries to make bigband music with a virtual bigband, which I called "San Martino Bigband". As a former sound engineer I'm quite familiar with the the sound and the touching and playing all kind of instruments, which helped me very much in modelling the sound of single instruments. It's kind of fiddling and quite a time consuming  work but at the end I'm quite satisfied, when I found the right balance and transparency between all instruments. Once in a while some old musician friends are coming to visit me and I take the chance to track down the one or the other solo with them. That's a highligt for me.

Thanks for having read til here and for all your support and kind comments on my tracks.

Cheap beer and dark bars and banjos that ring...these are a few of my favorite things.

Thanks for listening, and thanks for creating!

I am a guitarist/bassist, keyboardist, drummer, & producer who makes music in various genres.  I tend to stretch way into jazz/blues/rock stuff and also towards atmospheric styles of electronic.  I use a wide array of software, hardware, and instruments.  Music is such an expensive hobby!!   :D

All tracks are downloadable.

Thank you for the kind words!

“A fox came as a rabbit, then a rabbit came as a fox” and with these words short-sighted Jay Eff became invisible. It was not out of the blue he had been studying the work of early ones who left marks in the air. And now here comes someone who doesn't know the marks of all the early ones but with a wooden box in hand he has come to make marks in the air. Wish him luck good people of the world, we all need a little luck sometimes.

My songs are pretty raw, and mostly improvised with occasional echo effects. Your criticism is much appreciated. I look forward to viewing your music as well.

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)

I write songs about everyday life and a few covers. Some of my tracks are serious but many are not. Humor is my medication. It helps me put things in perspective. As some of you might know, my wife had a thing called Huntington's Disease (HD). HD is the genetic brain disease that Woody Guthrie had. It affected her balance, moods, swallowing and eventually led to her death (October 2015). My reason for mentioning this is that all of my profits from my recordings (I know, good luck with that) are going to the HD clinic we go to at the University of Connecticut. We both got a lot of support there. You can find some tracks for download on my Bandcamp page (the sound quality is better there anyway). http://lehndorff.bandcamp.com/ 

I want to thank everyone for making SoundCloud a wonderful community. I made some wonderful friends and was inspired to do music again because of you. The new SoundCloud was bungled. But it is, what it is. I am back writing songs and practicing and have been performing here and there. While I am concentrating on getting gigs at the moment (rather than recording), I will upload some of my existing songs that I took down when I stopped my paid account. I have really old stuff on my archive account.
