Is What It Is
June 16, 2026
A couple of years ago I was looking over the used guitar section of a local guitar shop. There on the wall was a Les Paul model that looked a little different and older than the others. The price also caught my eye. It was much less than the popular ones! The guitar was a 1978 Ibanez PF100 Les Paul made in Japan. To me it was worth more than tagged price.

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.
New Music Coming
November 26, 2023
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.
Last Summer Thrill

This is a guitar instrumental demo recorded at home using a Gretsch Streamliner in Logic Pro X. This recording is comprised of 3 tracks: drums via the Logic Pro X drummer, a Fernandes bass track I played, and finally the Gretsch Streamliner. I hope you like it!!!
Autumn Calls
October 21, 2023
A slight chill eases into the evening air. Leaves drift sharing their color all around while evenings fill with the crackling of old wood in the fire-pit. This short acoustic guitar track was something I noodled today that made me think of Autumn. Lucas our Labrador makes his first music debut in the early seconds of the track. I hope you like. 😀
1978

This is a guitar demo using a 1978 Ibanez PF100 (shown in the photo) plugged into a Korg G3 processor. I had fun laying down the bass and guitar tracks. I hope you like!!!
Software I Use
August 1, 2023
In an era not so far away I once purchased and used expensive software to edit images and build web site animations. I am looking at you Adobe Photoshop and Macromedia Flash. I bought updates over the years excited to get some new feature that promised to wow my customers and make my life easier and building output faster. I was hooked until the subscription service model became the standard. I didn’t like buying use of something I would technically never own.
