I swore that I would NEVER upload this. Was having a bad day trying to loop "nice" acoustic guitar sounds and got frustrated so grabbed my Taylor and plugged it into a cheesy Effects box and straight into the looper. Started twiddling knobs and…
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.

Started out be an innocent little jazzy study in quartal harmony, but the DL4 was still in my signal path and things went downhill from there! Another done with my beloved '58 Stratotone

This is a live cut from an NPR radio broadcast back in 1988 while my Irish Trad group Scartaglen was on one of its first east coast tours. Found recently on a cassette tape. Musically this was one of my favorite periods in the history of the band…

We listen for years for words to explain ourselves. "I'm good but not THAT good," was such a moment for me. Good enough to stay in the game but never good enough to win.
Last night I kissed somebody
I kissed somebody…
On this beach made of sand and shells
and broken hearts
as with so many things in this life
it ends where it starts
And like the waves that will roll over me
you take away everything that I see
So I walk to the place where the sand
and sky…
The Holy Spirit helps us to communicate our deepest feelings to God, even when words fail us. Even when we are broken, confused, tongue-tied - when we pray, the Holy Spirit will speak for us, "with sighs too deep for words."
I think this is the first song that I've posted here under Mannequin Races that actually has a guitar in it. You can't really tell that it's a guitar but it's in there (middle section around the 1:50 mark). The guitar is heavily modulated but…
Well, I had this crazy idea that *maybe* Buddy Guy was using some microtonal inflections in his cover of Tramp (which are what the "blue notes" are and thought it would be cool to cover it with my fretless guitar. As it turned out it was my ear…
You've got the buttons
that are made out of my bones
You've got the ghost of me
that still can stitch them on
And ev'ry time you close your vest
you will hold me near
But that's as close as I'll ever get
to you my dear, I fear
Up in…
Well, my son and I were sitting around the backyard last night. A nice fire going, I was playing my acoustic, and we heard this crazy cricket chirping away very close to us. My son asked if I could record him with my "machine". Out came the…
Since Norm found himself in an acoustically great room, full of unfinished cabinets I couldn't help but add some acoustic guitar, crank it up and hope you like it Norm!
We went to visit my dad at his assisted living facility and they have a Yamaha Clavinova on which I improvised for a half hour to provide some entertainment. This is a ~ 3 minute excerpt from about half way through. This was recorded on my Zoom…

Great song!
That's a real Beaut man!
Excellent sounding mix. Dig it!
Gorgeous vocals!
Beautiful spacious guitar sounds! Thanks for your recent comment, and to answer your question- the guitar is a Goodall RCJC
What fun! Somehow missed this one of yours
This is Lovely!
Very nice! Must be the idea of having notches cut in the 2nd capo so that some strings pass through?
Sweet guitar tones! Like that thunder storm in there too!
Now That's DARK! Great sounds
Damn! That guitar work is as raw and tortured sounding as it gets. Very cool! I'm gonna go rub some salt in an open wound now!
Really Lovely track!

Yep- That's Slammin' alright!
Sweet! You did a great job on that middle section!
You totally did this justice! Excellent!
Beautiful job Rick! That new axe is sounding great!
Very cool! Enjoyed that!
Aptly titled. This is what 3 Am Phone calls feel like
Love the moody guitars. Classic V.C. Sounds!
