A fingerpicky tune from the old days.
The different guitar voices (nylon string classical and Guild 12-string) were attained using a Line 6 Variax 600 modeling guitar. Great for recording, but I returned it because of some minor issues.
I thought it would be fitting to post this today, on Memorial Day, as a tribute to my friend William Easley, as well as all who have fought and died in wars, American or otherwise.
Sometime back in the 60's William (Billy from here on) heard…
Hey, cool! I do a version of this but I am afraid to record slide guitar. George did it so clean and smooth. I may record it one day and give you a heads up. My takes is a little different but the same too.
I went into the studio to record something I wrote... I came out to find out that 32 students had been gunned down... I already had the mandolin song and melody with a writing direction... and this senseless evil really derailed the whole thing…
Something just broke and I think it's my heart
It wasn't an arrow. It wasn't a dart
It mighta been a meter that tore it apart
But, something just broke and I think it's my heart

A bedside bomb with no alarm…
...after reading John Steinbeck's IN DUBIOUS BATTLE and watching the John Ford movie of GRAPES OF WRATH. The opening and closing statements are quotes from the Preacher in the movie.
A friend said he wanted to do a video of this track. I…
deeper and deeper i fall to sleep
and i am with you again
i can't wake up and face the loneliness
i won't feel love without you
hear the shattered lines, miles and days
didn't want to go away
nothing i can say
now the only way
fall into…
24 hour EP more than 24 hours late. I was going to title it "Perpetual Interruptions EP" but I went for something more positive. Due to weird bug in some part of my set up, there is a kick drum in only one side of the stereo for the first few…
24 hours of music making for 2008.
Yup. This is a "Gaiman variation" which means that I stopped at 24 hours and this is what I've got. Not 24 min, but it is a "Noble Failure"

I do three things after waking up these days: I shower. I make coffee. I play this song and drink my coffee.
Nothing complicated. Nothing fancy. Just some basic fingerpicking to test my motor skills and bring some aural sunshine into my day.

Like listening to some STCFTHOTS-PF stuff. Damn, master guitar work here.
This comes together pretty good...the guitar stands out beautifully.
Ooooh! Nice, sweet, interesting, tasty! Groovy -- Rock on!
Does have a real 60's jazz club sound. A good thing that is. .
Now isn't that some gorgeous picking?!
Superb
Excellent. Great execution on the guitars, great delivery with the vocals. Beautiful, moving, touching, tasteful. Fabulous.
Skillful, meditative, gorgeous, sweet, sad, moving, dreamy, tasteful, delightful.
Has a Beatnik sound I thought was lost and forgotten early on in the '60s -- very cool mixture of sounds. Rock on, y'all!
I was expecting some wild fuzz guitar and when I heard that acoustic I fell over… in delight. Well done. Your voice is suited to this song I think.

Came by for another drop of this psychedelic number, done with some fine ass acoustic picking -- crazy good! Rock on!
You got a damn good handle on that slide, Kavin! Great job. Smooth vocals!
Very unique . . . and beautiful, almost tranquil.
Kavin, you amaze me! w;-)
Trippy, far out, and groovy -- Rock on!
You've got a great handle on that guitar!
Very cool!

Great work. Thanks.
Just don't break the vocal chords. Love it.
Awright yawl! JMT is here!
Nice guitar textures, Limbo.
great atmospherics on this one!
Great listen from start to finish. Analog synths?
Re:Rewind Nobody Home?
The tranquil intro prepares you not for the electronic mayhem that ensues. Nice mellotron.
Hell of a good "failure". Is that Brian Eno speaking in the middle? The instrumental passages after that are stunningly beautiful.
Mind blowing. Smell the prog!
Oh yeah, love this one.
There's some cool songs on this list. thanks
nice peace.
Thanks yawl, but kudos to Mick who produced the track. His father's harp part kicks serious butt, too.
This one shows the fine line between celtic and bluegrass, I love it. Good to see you here, Mo.
And I second ACL's WOW. Shades of Michael Brecker. Nice tempo changes too.
Great groove. Love the guitars.
Very nice ambient. peace to all
I liked everything in this play list but this is a fave. Great forward movement.
Lovely!
