Straight ahead stone city electric blues for an old friend who used to spend hours spinning BB King and Mike Bloomfield records for me. Recorded back sometime at the end of 2006 on old analog equipment
An experiment I recorded yesterday with a rig I put together for more or less ambient sounds using two loopers and nearly every effects unit I own. I have no idea who Clark was but he owned the '58 Harmony Stratotone that I used on this cut. His…

Oh wonderful! Such a treat to find a new track from you, SFS! Wonderful sounds as always. Love your style in this dreamy setting. I shall add it to my "Tunes from the Bordello" playlist. Bonus track!

An unusual traditional tune from the first Scartaglen album way back in 1984. Going through stuff the other day and ran across the LP and couldn't even remember the tune or having recorded it. I played guitar on this track

Thanks for posting this. It's always nice to go diggin' through the ol' stax to stumble on lost forgotten gems. I think I recall you guys playing this live...very happy to be able to hear it again now.
Something completely different- Uilleann pipes(Irish bagpipes) and synth. I wrote this tune over 20 years ago in the style of traditional Irish slow airs. It was recorded way back in 1991 for an album that's been out of print for over 15 years…
This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

Imagine that you are that lump of enchanted wood on the workbench.... and instead of Pinocchio you can be anything... maybe even a stratavarious... thanx to my friend Dave Edwards for the real violin trax
From today's one hour session:
acoustic guitar, fretless electric bass, tabla, tambourine, and the synthesque sound is the electric guitar played with a violin bow
A track that I put on hold for the RPM Challenge.
Of course, now I can't really remember where I was going with it... but to have used it in the challenge would have been cheating.
What I do remember was that I had just discovered and fallen…
This one is dedicated to a good friend of mine, based on some recent conversations we've had. I'm not quite happy with how it turned out, but if you think about it that just mirrors life and how your best intentions never turn out exactly how…
This has been something that has been struggling to get out for a while. I finally feel comfortable enough playing it to have pressed record...
Boring technical details:
DADGAD tuning
two improvised tracks, GT-10 Studio Acoustic Guitar preset…
I am honored to be able to put words to the music of Skidoo and to say the mood he created with his music triggered something important to me.
One of my favorites tracks from Skidoo is "An elephant of truth". The first version of this song…
Had the chorus idea floating in my head for a number of years, but never had the inspiration to do anything with it. Then a friend died and this song came out of me staring out the window in the cold of January 2005 wondering what the hell to…

Gorgeous! Sooo much love and heart and soul and feel. Fabulous, incredible, sweet.
Nice counterpoint.
Great tones and playing, almost missed this one, thnx fer da find.
Cool guitarscape. Sounds like your putting that DL4 to good use!
Very cool. Be interested in hearing how you connected all the bits.
That's Superman's guitar. Better give it back. He lives here now. PO# 359 Wawarsing N.Y. Please use express shipping.
Guitar sounds real solid. Is it the fat neck model? They're supposed to be real sweet for slide work.
Thanks for resurrecting "Clark". Someone up there is smiling. Blue ribbon meditative experiment. More please !!
