Musical Stuff/Music Lessons/Event Bookings
I traditionally got the band to play something they had never played or heard before when we played at the Annex Wine Bar in Sonoma CA. Best practice place in Sonoma. ‘Let’sJust Rehearse at the Gig!!!’
Enjoy!
Save as PDFI wrote this song that I never really named . At the time I just thought of it as “skipping along in the Key of ‘D‘”. It was bouncy and fun. Kids always liked it when I played it. they would either freeze and listen or start dancing around, its catchy that way. Anyhow, I set out to start working on this tune again for this particular recording and when I plugged in, this piece is what came out.
It isn’t bouncy at all! It’s kind of moody and slow. But it is in the Key of ‘D’. I play lots of Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir licks as well as some Jaco Pastorius influenced stuff and who knows what else, but I definitely here those guys in some of this. I did not plan any of it, it just came out the way it is. No editing. Then I recorded another guitar track playing along with the rhythm track. so it sounds like 2 guitars playing together, but don’t be fooled.lol

… about 12 minutes in you get to a song of mine called Long Road Home. And it sure seems like a long road home listening to all this guitar practicing just to get to a song. It’s a pretty good version of this song, though. I originally wrote it for or about my dad even though it has no words and I don’t know exactly what it has to do with him but that was what I thought when I came up with it ..I like playing it.
