Barefoot On the Grass

April 18, 2024

I started working on this song earlier this week. Different guitars inspire different ideas and I found myself enjoying this one on the resonator guitar. I recorded this using my iPhone; I hope you enjoy it! I’ll be working in the future to record more than a demo of it.

Amazing Grace

This is a small test drive of a Gretsch 9220 Resonator guitar with all mahogany body. Though it has a mic pickup, I mic’d it with a Shure SM-57. I am no sound engineer, but I felt like this simple recording came out nicely. I hope you enjoy this short demo.

Until The Last Heartbeat

February 4, 2024

This guitar instrumental was recorded at my home. The rhythm guitar used was a Taylor 110e and the lead guitar used was an Epiphone PR5E/N Nylon stringed guitar. I used a Fernandez bass for the bass track. I dedicate this to my wife. I will continue to love you and cherish you until the last heartbeat…

Christmas Melody

December 24, 2023

Merry Christmas!!! I was scheduled to share the following arrangement this morning at church. I woke up with the sinus crud and won’t be there. This was recorded earlier in the week during a practice session. I pray your Christmas is filled with the love of family and friends. Whether you have sweet memories from the past, or not, may there be time now to make new memories with those around you.

I am excited to say that soon you can purchase, and stream, a couple of new guitar instrumentals. Lend an ear and take the new tunes for a spin on your favorite service. I know they are very different styles! What can I say? I love playing and experimenting. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did making playing and recording them. December 4 -- 1978 will be available.
