Title track from the CD "Open Doerr". In 2014, I commissioned a guitar built by master luthier Tom Doerr. After receiving the guitar (pictured), I worked through the next year to produce an instrumental CD of original tunes on this guitar as a way to pay tribute to this amazing instrument built with Lucky Strike Redwood and Cocobolo. 
This track is an Mp3 file from that CD. 
Thanks for listening!

"OPEN DOERR"

Soft Attack

Still working on this one, but this is where it is at.

Endlessly

Piece played on classical guitar. Sometimes the universe looks in on us.

Space theme

A slow, pop/rock song with romantic undertones. About regret and not taking chances with someone you spontaneously met in Lisbon.

I pulled my Decade songbook out of storage a few months back and have been thinking about a Neil Young cover.  Somehow I got sidetracked this week and ended up on a performance Neil did with Devo of Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black).  I won't bore you with a history lesson but I will say that if Neil decided to spend almost 10 minutes of Human Highway on the performance below, it must have meant something to him at the time.  Plus it's really fun to play!

Words and music by Neil Young/Jeff Blackburn/Devo/Crazy Horse.

Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black) (Neil Young & Crazy Horse/Devo)

When I look around today, most people that believe in a religion tend to be happier than those that do not, no matter what riches they hold. So wrote this song to reflect on the power of empathy and understanding. Inspired by the idea that we should avoid mocking others for their religious beliefs—because we may not fully grasp the significance it holds for them. Let's embrace kindness and respect for diverse perspectives. 🎶✨ #Empathy #Respect"
