This is where Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix meet at a piano bar in Carmel, CA. Singing a great lyric and being inspired by the greatest of musicians to take the piano to a new level.

Live at the Mission Ranch

All Along The Watchtower

It's about taking each moment as a new lifetime; to see the world as little children with eyes of wonder;

Live At Clint Eastwood's Mission Ranch

A Lifetime To Live

It's about thinking too much and not being satisfied with the life you have. I was living in a tent in Florida with my wife and two kids watching the big motor homes come and go. I knew they had the money and comfort but I also knew that my life was just fine and we all have our own path. Bitchin' about the path doesn't do any good. Acceptance and equanimity do wonders

Everybody Pays The Rent

Hard driving piano with a harsh lyric about the horror of the reality and potential of nuclear power. This song was inspired by Chernobly and brought back to my conciousness by Fukashima. It's not too late, but we have to change before one of these accidents destroys us. A cup dropped in the middle of the piano solo which seemed like a perfect example of the random nature of life.

                              

clouds of doom

This is a favorite from the piano bar where I'd start with a 50's rock and roll song, do a bit of story telling and lead up to a Jimi Hendrix classic.

Love Potion #9 - Voodoo Child (Slight Return)

I love this version of a haunting love song - Tom Waits style, where I am actually having the conversation with my girlfriend.

Nobody

This is a classically styled treatment of a Led Zeppelin version of a great blues tune. When I played fancy dinner gigs and would get bored playing jazz and pop standards, I found i could play serious rock songs as long as I didn't get too loud or intense. Then I went into the studio and blew it out! I call it Classic Rock Piano

Classic Rock Piano

Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You

I love playing this song. The chord pattern is fantastic and the ending is perfect for the piano. You can almost hear the electric guitar soloing over the ending. By far my biggest hit on Spotify

These are short versions of typical songs in the Piano Bar Show
