Badass!! Feverish playing - I love it. This will suffer many, many listens from me - So glad it's a 320K mp3. Norm, you rocked it, too - Brilliant percussion that is not overdone and fits in perfectly!

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!

Rrrrrrr!!!!! You're a growly lover! Buddy would be proud. :-) This is the definitive AT cover, guys. Chris's vision, as it should be! Nice one!

Gritty, raw, cool Tramp tribute. I think the fretless guitar is excellent. perc matches the raw feel.

There's certainly a kernel of something really good here. I'll stay tuned!

The story cracked me up. Your fretless guitar would be perfect for slide guitar, i'm learning slide some now , easy to do basic style but hard to be great at it as are all things. Great vocal on this tune,i'm impressed.

Badass, yawl. I can attest BG is microtonal having seen him, his strings bends are often slightly sharp, an amazing gtrist when he wants to be.

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…

Here it is baby: This is your best vocal work ever... not nearly as sexy as the sister's rendition (and I love the shock value of a girl singing this one – I really hope that gem gets posted too) but your enthusiasm is infectious and it brings me joy to hear you torturing your fretless guitar. Was that a bit of a laugh I heard at one point? Well, it works for you. Call me country… Trap set? We don’t need no stinking trap sets. Tambourine, cajón and cymbals.

Everything I like. Distorted guitars, solid bass line, serious percussion, Hardly a train wreck Sir. It rocks.

If I lived closer to you, I would drag a couple conga drums along and join you at the retirement facility! Very honorable!

I love that you take the time to entertain people who may not otherwise get the opportunity. And a fine performance too!
