This song is inspired by the struggles currently going on in Syria....here are the lyrics:
Out in the streets, an awakening has begun
You brandish posters, they point a gun
Scrawled on the pavement with blood and tears
Says we the people…
In the old days you could dodge the collectin man if your money wasn't right.Nowadays they can remotely shut off your lights,cable,internet-put your stuff out on the curb. So this is a bittersweet trip down nostalgia lane.
My tribute to Bill Hicks, one of the all time great stand-up comedians...always liked this guy... another one that died way too soon...youtube him if unaware of his work. Peace.
Reg was looking through you tube videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGQxhaPhFDs&feature=related and was shocked at what he saw.........
THE PLAGUE OF METH (Lyrics)
She seems twisted in her agony
her pain is visible
its destroyed her
tormented…
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.
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…
Song #2 for the RPMC. My goal is to have 12 short tunes (1-3 minutes long), so I need to pick up the pace.
Again, quartal tuning on the top 3 unison pairs of the 12 string. I've been listening to Ralph Towner's Blue Sun, hence the title.

If I could play like this I'd never leave the house and I'd ask to be buried with my guitar so I can take it with me to the next world.
This is excellent stuff!
Wild guitar playing! I loved the early Mahavishnu stuff
Ah yes, Mahavishnu. I wish they would get back together. Badass playing here,too!
