The theme for Improv Friday this week is "variations". So here's an improv reconstruction of the one classical piece I know, Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.

#4 for the RPM Challenge.
Have you heard this melody before? This is one of those where I wonder if I've unconsciously "borrowed" something from someone. Translation: the Fly Boat, like the tourist boats that ply the river Seine and their bright…
Ditty #10 for RPMC. I really had a hard time trying to come up with the final track, so I fell back on the old loop/delay/ebow improv formula, which I had hoped to avoid on this album. Kind of acoustic Breaking Light. Well it crossed the finish…

Ditty #9 for the RPMC album "Bones".
I'd had this rolling around in my head for about a year now, and even played it live with the SD&Q trio. Didn't quite turn out as planned, which is not unusual.

Song #2 for the RPMC. My goal is to have 12 short tunes (1-3 minutes long), so I need to pick up the pace.
Again, quartal tuning on the top 3 unison pairs of the 12 string. I've been listening to Ralph Towner's Blue Sun, hence the title.

With huge thanks to the awesomeinfinity Jake, Wrinkled Shirt, who let me use his gorgeous instrumental track "Gaza".
The sun left the city, from the ground
Moonlight woke up, falling down
Why are you scared, free as a bird
Now that the heat…
One of my favorite recordings and favorite songs. The drums of this Political Folk tune was generated with the Yamaha E313. The lead guitar break needs replaced with a violin, but…
THE FINAL HOUR
Welcome to the final hour
Everybody kneel…
This demo recording turned out particularly well, especially when compared to how most of my MYTHOPOETICA recordings sound. The lead guitar employs an Eastern Folk scale and style of picking, greased with GEM-style Blues butter.
SUPER YOU…
STEPPIN' ON SOME TOES Key - Em and E

Well, some folks got big noses
Some folks got big hats
Some folks stand out in the aisle
Make it hard to pass

Well, I'm almost on a roll now - this little love song was written, arranged, and recorded in just a week. I've been meaning to attempt something like this for years, just never got round to it.
I'd actually settled down to finally record a…
Defiance, self-doubt, hubris, failure, choosing...It's all here to hear.
The title is a nod to my love of a certain guitar player and singer from a late 60's act; who's solo records were even better. The vibrato guitar is inspired by him…

Ambient, building electric guitar instrumental, something like a cross between the late great Gary Moore and some softer stuff by Allan Holdsworth.
Imagine your spacecraft nearing a black hole, and the strain it puts on your vessel. Then, as…

Imaginative chord progressions. Sad you're gone.
Cool song, and concept, I may take a shot at it.
Badass, yeah.
I think I know, for what it's worth ;)
Good job yawl!
Hafta think about that vocal thing..
I dig it, 80's vibe or no.
Yeah. Way harder to keep "in tune". ;)
Such a great track, I felt bad about pushing it off the front page! Great album, dude.
Sounds like you and Neil been in the same ditch. That is a compliment.
Not easy to sustain interest over an extended jam like this, but it did for me.
