This song is informed by observations of artists I've worked with who inhabit (or aspire to inhabit) public lives, and by this quote from Kant:
"Seek not the favour of the multitude; it is seldom got by honest and lawful means. But seek the testimony of few; and number not voices, but weigh them"

Yates Lansing was a multi-talented and exceptional human. I recorded many songs that he wrote that can also be heard on SoundCloud

A few years back I started working with a student named Tom Pevear. He developed a serious passion for fingerstyle guitar and has now out stripped my executions skills in this style. While working with him I became much more familiar with the vocabulary of this style of playing. While piddling about on the guitar one evening I came across a phrase in this genre which seemed unique to me so I carried on and composed this piece.

Friday Night Rag

This piece has made me swoon since my first hearing of it. I took the opportunity of this down time in the pandemic wave to write a solo guitar arrangement for the opening theme.-

The Northern most point of Hornby Island in the straight of Georgia (between Vancouver Island and the North American mainland)is called Grassy Point. The gloaming hours in the summer linger until well past 10 pm in the evening. Many thanks to our dear friend Ed Pierson for introducing us to this stunning spot. This piece is played on a Weissenborn-style Hawaiian lap steel guitar with a cosmic steel bar made from an actual meteor by Larry Pogreba.
