Maybe I missed a career scoring for no budget spaghetti westerns, because this is what this reminds me of. Done live a couple weeks ago with the Taylor and a floor full of toys and loopers.
Now this is nice.....real nice.......nice it too "nice" a word for this wonderful sound you have conjured here.....mega-nice. Most looper jams leave me cold, but this is real good, just the way I like it.
More ambient experimentation with my fretless guitar and Roland GR20. This time I used some sounds from the magnetic pickups as well as the midi pickup. Kind of a cheesy synth patch I know, but it was working for me!
Solo acoustic finger picking thing I've been working on for a while. Sometime around 1968 I started studying with Mr. George Bennett who taught me the rudiments of finger picking. Later when we played some gigs together he also taught me the rudiments…
I just realized I misread who was playing. I thought this was Kavin but realized this is an assortment of artists. Kirk apologies and as I said but indicated Kavin, but now for you, Gorgeous and Bachlike.
A bit of improv done yesterday with my newly refurbished fretless guitar. Finally got the midi pickup to track almost right! Part of the sounds were gotten by rubbing a teaspoon on the strings.

Another Live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen back in 1988 on the NPR show Mountain Stage. This time a piece of Gaelic mouth music followed by 3 reels. Maybe the most complex arrangement of a set of tunes that we ever did.
Another cut from the 1988 cassette tape of a live performance by Scartaglen on the NPR show Mountain stage. This time some tunes from County Kerry.
Kirk Lynch- Uilleann pipes and whistle. Becky Pringle- Fiddle. Mike Dugger- Fiddle and guitar…

What happened after too much time on youtube watching live vids of "voodoo chile" Noisy obnoxious and very cathartic for me! Live to 2tracks with the Jamman
I love your skill sets we enjoy the same feel. I noticed that you are listening to some of my Christmas stuff thank you I wish we could colab. it would be great.

The berimbau is a brazilian percussion/string instrument that is the foundation for this tune.
Thanks to Dana (Alontoner) who added the sweet backup vocals to make this a much better piece.
And thanks also to K. Scot Sparks (Alonetoner…
Nothing like a good gtr riff to inspire a song. This one is backwards in a way. The first verse has a lot of layers, the second one is much cleaner...
I had fun doing the backing vox on this one, it was the first day I really had my voice back…
Using the microKORG, GarageBand drum kits, and a cheap acoustic guitar. Beware, it is far from done. The final version will likely be longer and less repetitive (if possible).
The close friend of mine who helped engineer this session said my gtr sounded like a swarm of angry bees. That's the best compliment I can think of. This was a mayhem producer when played live. I barely was able to keep it together in the studio…

Great playing here and a wonderful overall sound. What are you using to create your drums , bass etc...liked this very much

Oh yeah, thats an improv all right. I feel all weird from listening, like time is going backwards or something. Spooky sounding almost.
Lovely. Thanks so much.
Magic!

Kavin gorgeous and Bachlike.
Very nice, Kirk. I really enjoyed this one! Thanks for the nice comments on my doings. Much appreciated.
Thanks for listening ...and for ye good sounds. 'hope all is well, Kirk!
I really like the opening vocal work. And the playing that follows is brilliant, must have been fun to hear live.
Those two are impossible not to like!
Loved it. I like overall spontaneous and improvised, live feeling of your music.
I love your skill sets we enjoy the same feel. I noticed that you are listening to some of my Christmas stuff thank you I wish we could colab. it would be great.
This is fantastic. Fun stuff. Thanks
Excellent!!!
sounds nice! praise cheeses.
Excellent ambiance man. Everything blends perfectly.
Need to add that cheese to a cheese sammich. Cool stuff Kirk. Some interesting sounds you are pulling out of that instrument. Me like.
Works for me too, beautiful depth of sound.
Love this new sonic direction you've taken. Keep on!

Very cool- that could have been twice as long.
