Beaumont Rag
With the rise of Billy Strings (who comes from my hometown) I thought back to the Gathering Roadhouse where Keith Rothco and I played 5-6 nights a week back the late 1970's. Keith was a bad-ass flat-picker and I honestly had trouble keeping up with him. We also played a variety of popular songs…

I'm Ready

Good Lovin'
It was 1987 at the 264 Club Palm Beach Florida. We were the house band and this is just one example of the great times we had there. The club officially held 72 people but on any given Friday or Saturday night there were 150 of us whooping it up. Rick Rossano on guitar, Kevin Kaufman on bass,...

Oil On The Beach
Recorded in 1977 at Uncle Dirty's Studio Kalamazoo Michigan. This was a regional hit over the summer that year. The guitar riff came to me in a dream and I woke up to write this song. We did this in an afternoon on a 16 Track 2" tape reel with a $500 budget. The version you hear here was copied...

Section 47
This song was recorded in 1979 in South Florida at a small warehouse recording studio (Brightwater?). With (now famous) Scott Henderson on Lead Guitar who was smokin' hot that day and accomplished this solo in 2 or 3 takes. Which is what I had anticipated after watching him play at local bars in...

Reminiscent of the wild 1960s free love era. She's a wild child and free to roam. A rockin' tune with Harmonica, slammin drums, Vox organ and acoustic bluesy guitar. You can't stop dancing to this groovy music baby yeah! Get your paisley shirt and bell-bottom jeans on for this one, it's far out!...

You're Breaking My Heart
From my Frequent Sea album recorded in my home studio, released in 2001 - one week before 9/11. I considered this to be my masterpiece as in all the aspects were to my best ability. That being production, songwriting, sequencing and performance. The critics at the time were not so kind saying it...
