In memory of my cousin Mike, nicknamed Shovel Head, because of the Harley Davidson Shovel Head motorcycle he drove.

I can feel the wind blow
Lean into that winding road
Setting Sun against my skin
Shift into that high gear

You always have such a good mix of instruments ... each one is unique but works so well with the others. Great playing all round, but I'll mention the bass specifically because it's such an important "frame". Really nice vocals too!
This is a collaboration with Greg Connor (check his song list here) Greg wrote this about his Heritage Millennium guitar and Heritage guitars company in Kalamazoo. He sent me his vocals and rhythm guitar track and I added lead & bass guitars…
An old Stephen Foster song (Pub. Domain)
Always waiting, hopeful sorrow.
Featuring my spouse, Marily!!!!
I could have picked a song to do her justice, next time. My phrasing is kind of hard to follow...
A favorite style of my wife... like Kris Kristofferson, in a way. Maybe more folk than Outlaw Country...? The song has great meaning for me.
Hope you like it!

live demo from our rpm sessions. still trying to hammer this one down at this point. not a bad warts and all version of a song for a friend. Chris had just lost his home to fire.
It was about sunrise when I met this guy on the streets of the French Quarter and bought him coffee. I don't know if he's still around -- that was some 20 years ago -- but a two-hour conversation affected my life more than I would have ever known…
Hanging out in the living room with one of my sons, just making stuff up. I wish I'd had the recorder closer to him - whistle too loud, guitar too soft.
For our beautiful son Willem, in French Guillaume.
recorded in my livingroom, 16-7-2009.
I called the song Guillaume before because of the beautiful sound.
Since 2012 I changed the title of the song into : Willem.
Because that makes much…
This song is written by Keith Landry.
He asked me to sing it and off course I wanted that!!
Thank you Keith!
About "Keep It Simple (with Inge)"
Well, I wrote this song as a note to my wife (who makes lists from time to time). I thought…

recorded on my Boss microBR.
Where oh where will you go
When the sky comes tumbling down
Do you know what you'll do
when the stars come to your town…
Something completely different- Uilleann pipes(Irish bagpipes) and synth. I wrote this tune over 20 years ago in the style of traditional Irish slow airs. It was recorded way back in 1991 for an album that's been out of print for over 15 years…

Good Gawd !!! Now that's some sweet music!
My Feet are tapping!
Good rendition of an old favorite.
I like the things you did with the vocals. It really caught my attention. This is a great song!
Sounds logical to me!
Now ... that is stunning! Lisa, you have set a new standard for all of us. Beautiful, Beautiful piece of work.
You have a great voice! Let's here some more of it.
Interesting sounds. I wasn't expecting the lead guitar, but it fit perfectly.
There is a quality in this song that really grabs you and captures your attention.
You got my attention of this one Terry!
Very Pretty! I suspect that is natural room reverb ... very effective!
Excellent Excellent Excellent. A lot of energy there!
I like the great shuffle quality to this song.
This fits like a comfortable old shoe. Very pleasing to listen to.
This one got my feet tapping!
Good song. You can't go wrong with Tom Waits. I think my favorite song of his is "Saturday Night"
That's a great tuning! The acoustic lead break really added a nice touch.
This is one of my favorite songs! Nice to hear a new version of it. I like that lead guitar!
This is beautiful. It gets right into the center and tugs away.
