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.
thanks Keith and all, I'm sure it's getting some hits from improvFriday, which is what it was was recorded for, stop by and check the other sound sculptors:

Reg took a collaboration from Chris Vaisvil, Norm and threw it into the cellar last night and this is what was returned through Regs door this morning...... a tale from the old wild west.........................

Buddy Holly's music has been very central to my life.
Sometimes I try to write a Buddy Holly song.
this is the first track of my 1st solo album "flying solo" don't want to swamp the place with all mystuff so will upload them gradually
written on september the 3rd 2010 this is what i said about the song at the time.....
was saddened to hear…
People are dying every day in the street
People are dying every day
People are dying every day in the street
Just for being people in the street
Peace, when's it coming, coming for the people in the street
Peace, you can sing it
Sing it for the…
This is about the free spirit soaring high above the seas, forests, cities and times.

very impressionistic, Igor! I caught a snippet of Breathe I think, but love this nonetheless. Added to my "PF surrogate band" playlist. Thanks

Also nearly unchanged from the demo version, although it still needs a bit of revision. Kept the title this time.
5 tracks guitar
1 bass
1 Indian toy/souvenir bowed instrument of unknown name
Sorry for killing the comments when I deleted…
in memory of ben keith
man of steel
heard your sound
as i roamed
in early days
of wonder
time was right
cast that spell
ever since
i've been under
bendin' notes
waves of air
all colors
of emotion
dark and light
deeply stirred…
Sloane did me a favor & played an electric guitar part on this one. I had hoped to work with her more on this project, but she wound up leaving town to help take care for a recovering family member.

You asked me where these rumors start.
"I don't know," I said and crossed my heart.
But I told you I did not hope to die.
You said you can't trust no more.
Why start now? You never did before.
Now I just have to pause and wonder…
This is an experiment in stacking real time delay/looped tracks that had no preconceived connections... all overdubs were done without listening to previously recorded tracks. I hear some very interesting synchronizations.... You?

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.
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.
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!

Like it. The good bad and the ugly?
Overlooked this great album, until now. Is it possible for you to post Nylon too?
Yeahh!! I detect a pattern here..
glad to be of service mmi!
you are a gentleman.
Excellent Rick! I love this stuff! Great jam yawl.
Glad you found alonetone buddy! Your sounding good!

Yeah, I get the title joke. This is a wonderful album. Hope your doing well over there.
Great song, great tribute. BK was a big influence on my playing.
Love this, definitely has that sixties krautrock feel to it.
Great wordless melody folk-jazz thing going on here JMT. David Crosby could do no better.
Cool album, well done! Added this to my RPM11 faves playlist. Carry on.
thanks for all the great comments Cave!
Pretty cool stuff. Sadly I've overlooked your music for too long. Sorry.
added a video.
thanks! Yes I have that Luther Wright!
aint it good too be alive and playin guitar!
This is a seriously good album, raw in places, but all fascinating and experimental. It deserves more listens.
