Green Green Rocky Road, arrangement taken from Dave Van Ronk's version.  I don't think he wrote it though.

Green Green Rocky Road

Instrumental version of the great Doc Watson tune, Deep River Blues.  I won't even try to sing this one :)

Deep River Blues (Instrumental)

A beautiful arrangement of a Celtic tune, arranged and taught to me by the wonderful and generous Jimmy Payne of Richmond, VA.

Hector the Hero

Great fiddle tune, often called Sail Away Ladies, an arrangement shown to me by my teacher Jimmy Payne of Richmond, VA.  I used an extremely primitive recording technique to layer rhythm guitar, lead guitar and mandolin.  Sound quality is a little muddy for this reason, but it was a fun process.

Sally Ann - Mandolin with Guitars

Original tune that was recorded some years back when I rented a home in Lakeside.  I think I was playing around with open G tuning.  

I had completely forgotten about this song, and kind of like the sound of it, especially after revisiting a few years later.

Parkside Avenue Sessions

I Ain't Got No Home (A Lullaby)

The beautifully saucy Candyman.  Gregg Kimball taught this to me.  His blues group, Sheryl Warner and the Southside Homewreckers play this wonderfully.  I think the arrangement is originally from the blues great Rev. Gary Davis.  Many thanks to Sheryl Warner and Gregg Kimball for sharing this with me.

Candyman

Jimmy Payne share his gorgeous arrangement of this Celtic tune with me.  My playing here doesn't hold a candle to Jimmy's.  In fact I may have chosen to play this a little too fast.  

version with Libby Dunton is incredible.  They recorded the album Lord Franklin many years ago, and I believe it's out of print.  There are a few songs from that album posted on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hzrUu2KYZA

Their version of Southwind is available on iTunes and is well worth the dollar to purchase!

Southwind (Instrumental)

Gregg Kimball shared this arrangement of the classic blues song.  He plays it with Sheryl Warner and the Southside Homewreckers.  Sheryl's singing is absolutely amazing, so do your self a favor and check out the real deal!

Trouble in Mind

Another original from my days renting in Lakeside.  Kind of a nostalgic, possibly melodramatic remembrance of my times travelling in the Southwest and Navajo country.  I had totally forgotten about this one as well.
