improv on the Epi Standard tuning, capo at third fret.

Ring of Fire - lyrics by Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash -1963. Slightly modified. This wasn't meant to be Ring of Fire but that's how it wound up. I have been wanting to trash Ring of Fire and the words just seem to fit this simple 1-4-5…

Outrage, meltdown, bailout.

last eve there was a beautiful moon dancing in a blue black sky outside my piano room, it called to me this tune is a one take playful moment, loosely based on the main theme from the 2nd mov of my piano sonata,,, i only toned down about…

"This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine.." This tune came to me whilst helping mow a graveyard this morning.
