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
Kirk, my name is Don Powers, I live in weston, on 5th st. Long time ago I stopped out side your house because I saw you playing through you window. We talked for a while then one other day you let me come in and I was going to try to jam with you , a mistake as I am no where near the musician you are. I just stumbled on to your web site. Glad I did. enjoyed listening. Maybe someday before I croke I will improve enough on one of the instruments I try to play, to get another chance to jam with you. Nice site.

This is a Phil Keaggy tune. I swiped his original loop and then built my own thing on top of it. Might have been longer, but my volume swell effect keeps slipping out of sync with everything else. May work on it more at a later date
A song written for my dear old friend, Kirk Lynch, who I've known for almost 20 years. For those who don't know, Kirk and I live less than an hour apart, but I swear it's been five years since we've seen each other in person, which just ain't…
I've been working on this one little by little; now I'm at a point where I do not feel like revisiting the feeling. Moves from 3/4 to 4/4, or so I think.. kind of like a 7/4 time sig but not really. typical glu instrumentation, etc.
Everyone…
School started on September 8th, so I haven't been doing a lot; this is my first piece all week, and I wrote it in about 3 hours, so it isn't that great... My definition of not that great is getting better, though... It's a nice piece, I think…
We celebrate the passing of a great musical instrument. Hobart M. Cable, the piano lent to us this summer, is going back to his kind owner, Danny. He will be dearly missed.
We hastily wrote this little ditty in his last few hours in our possession…
An experiment in simplicity. Back to the basics. It's the only counter to stagnation. Don't over think!
This was pieced together quickly while in front of the microphone. Revisiting the editing/mastering process was fun.

A test run with my new Line 6 DL4 delay pedal. Recorded with a handheld mp3 recorder, hence the ambient room noise. The DL4 was fed into a BOSS loop pedal also. No overdubs, all on the fly.
This is my 2007 Pirate Day song, written and recorded September 19th 2007. I like the innuendo, but maybe it's too subtle - nobody else seems to notice ;~)
I just read your comment that said these were all IMPROVISED? My admiration for your skills, which was substantial already, just went up another couple of notches!!
Similar in feel to the other Fragile Moment track. Mostly acoustic guitars recorded sitting in my shop on the H4N and then finished up in Cubase just this morning. September 9 09. Maybe a nice one for bedtime
@Mannequin Races. Thanks - I was not sure about the mix- Just got sick of messing with it! The lead tone was recorded with a Rode NT1A into the Zoom H4N with an edited preset that was a vocal mic pre in combo with pretty extreme compression. I was kinda going for the sound of single line stuff on a classical guitar, but don't have one!
This song is a tribute to the space monkeys named Albert. They all died tragic deaths of various kinds during their forced service to the American space program.

Love it. Gotta do something like this. Best thing I've heard today. Love the way it develops.

Yay for new toys! Awesome stuff. Love that super-wide 12-string tone!
Such a sweet groove, and all those tasty licks everywhere... Wow!
Kooh....this is sweet..nice textures over that riff...nice modal soloing.
Great playing and mixing.
..nice, brother
Nice, clean and funky.
Nice combo. Those Ov 12's seem to be making a resurgence. I almost bought one a few months ago but the owner and I couldn't agree on a price.
Dang.
