RIP David Crosby. I play some tracks from CSNY in Tampa on April 14, 2002. I play Almost Cut My Hair, Guinnevere, and a raucous Eight Miles High. Great sound. Great loss. What a voice.

Bonus - CSNY Tampa 2002 RIP David Crosby

We hear a great recording of the Stills/Young Band on July 4, 1976 in Niagara Falls NY. This is an epic setlist and I play Long May You Run, For What It's Worth, and Cowgirl in the Sand. This was a volatile short-lived project, but it was brilliant.

Bonus - Stills - Young Niagara Falls 1976

A blast from the past. James Bradley Junior on drums and vocals, Andy Fite on guitar, flute player (name soon), Molle Molin on bass, and Yours Truly on keyboard and lead vocals.

Stephen Stills: Buffalo Springfield – Last Time Around (1968)

Good time roots rocker about escaping from the rat race to a tropical paradise with a tip of the hat to Jimmy Buffett & Stephen Stills.
PRO SONG REVIEW:   “Somewhere South Of Mexico”
Overall Impression
California-based artist Ronnie I makes a run for the border, with his release of "Somewhere South of Mexico." This track features a raucous roots rock sound that's highlighted by acoustic rhythm guitar and screaming Hammond organ, while electric bass and drums form a powerfully charged rhythm section. Ronnie delivers a passionate vocal performance here, expressing heady themes of escapism and a search for individual bliss, while his rough and weathered baritone paints an idyllic image of paradise. Southern and country rock fans in particular will love the raw energy and free-spiritedness of Ronnie I's "Somewhere South of Mexico."

Strongest Point(s)
Excellent production, solid mix. Good clarity and use of stereo space. Incredible energy and atmosphere. Sounds incredible at high volumes. Great intro, nice ringing acoustic riff. Bass and drums sound terrific together, fantastic bass line and groove. The Hammond sounds amazing, good drawbar settings and awesome playing technique. The organ is really the foundation of this track, great choice. Outstanding vocal performance; extremely engaging style and delivery, good power and range. Brilliant lyrical content; compelling themes that will absolutely resonate with audiences, wonderful imagery and a solid flow. All in all, this is a tremendous track that should have broad appeal across the entire roots rock scene, from country rock to Southern rock, even including jam band fans. Stellar work here, from top to bottom!

SOMEWHERE SOUTH OF MEXICO

Live arrangement rehearsal take on vocals and acoustic guitar in DADGAD tuning.


Four and 20 years ago
I come into this life
The son of a woman and a man
Who lived in strife

He was tired of being poor
And he wasn't into selling door to door
And he worked like the devil to be more

A different kind of poverty now upsets my soul
Night after sleepless night
I walk the floor and I want to know

Why am I so alone?
Where is my woman? Can I bring her home?
Have I driven her away?
Is she gone?

Morning comes to sunrise
And I'm driven to my bed
I see that it is empty and there's devils in my head

I embrace the many colored beast
I grow weary of the torment
Can there be no peace?
And I find myself just wishing
That my life would simply cease



"4+20" Stephen Stills Cover 2024 LIVE

This is my take on a classic Stephen Stills tune. I decided to try and create something different since I do no have the harmonies of other voices and I can no longer hit those really high notes in my tenor voice range.
"The title "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" (a play on words for "Sweet Judy Blue Eyes") refers to Stephen Stills' former girlfriend, singer/songwriter Judy Collins, and the lyrics to most of the suite's sections consist of his thoughts about her and their imminent breakup"               Wikipedia

Suite: Judy Blue Eyes - CSN (Cover)

"This song is short yet powerful, documenting the poignant path of “an 84-year-old poverty-stricken man who started and finished with nothing,” as Stills explained in the CSN box set liner notes. Given famous pothead Crosby’s association with the song and its hippie-era release, many fans assume the song’s title pertains to the celebratory day for marijuana on 4/20. The true meaning is much more innocent: it refers to the famous ‘Sing a Song of Sixpence’ line."                 Far Out

I broke a string and it still sounded ok so thought I'd try a little cover of my favourite stills song!

I have enjoyed music for as long as I can remember and cannot remember a day of not either singing or listening to music. I am self-taught when it comes to playing guitar but what I most enjoy is singing which I have been doing since around age 18. Now retired singing and playing the guitar is now just a hobby and something I do to help pass the time. Have always  loved the sound of a Martin guitar. Currently been playing a Road Series DR S2 for about 6 years. Thanks for listening. I also enjoy discovering the sounds of other talented musicians and singers here on SoundCloud.
