studying dadgad tuning and stumbled onto the melody of Amazing Grace.  It only grew from there.

Amazing Grace

Tribute to some of my favorite SoundCloud posters

SOUNDCLOUD  BLUES... GRASS

SoundCloud Blues..(grass) click title for lyrics

I'm Looking Through You

Angel From Montgomery (John  Prine Cover)

Just a simple country song about outsourcing jobs to India.  This was a colaboration with Jim Boies and Leonard Wightman of BWG

Just a Cowboy in Bollywood

This started out as a song for the pending ski season in Oregon and one of my ski buddies and great adventurer,  Tim Bowie but...it morph'd into a Woodie Guthrie talking blues kind of thing.  The political views expressed are clearly the the views of the songwriter...It should be recognized that I stole liberally from the Kris Kristofferson song titled Best of All Possible Worlds.  Give that one a listen.. it's a pretty cool song.

Bowie

2017

Let It Be Me (Everly Brothers cover, collaboration with Frank MacMurray, Rick Pier, and Jim Boies)

A song about pretty much nothing at all..

Bad Seeds

A Lucky Man

Rick Pier on drums, Larry G. on guitar, bass, vocal

2018

Slow Bossa

Just a simple cover of a great song.  Layer a couple guitars add a bass and wait for Rick Pier to send a great drum track.

Larry Gardner
