This blog is about me and my music. My current focus is on learning piano using the Sudnow Method and guitar improvisation. I currently play guitar in a band that concentrates on playing the early rock and roll of the 50’s and 60’s. I also play guitar in a trio setting that focuses more on the jazzy side. Seemingly irrelevant posts on this blog reflect topics that are probably expressed in my music somewhere.

New Year’s Eve Eve
Working on fingerpicking. Up to song three in the first fingerpicking DVD. The honeymoon stage of my relationship with fingerpicking/ acoustic guitar is waning. Now it’s time to work. Seeing a fingerpicker in concert in Feb, with my best friend. One of the performers is El McMeen. I have his Christmas album. Just received a copy of his book with a coauthor: “ The Glory of CGDGAD Guitar Tuning.”

Christmas Time is Here
Guitar. Played at a Fire Hall Museum today and it went well!

At the museum, my guitar is taking a break:

Working with my fingerpicking acoustic stuff tonight and that’s going well too.

Tomorrow playing with a slight variation of the band at another Fire Hall show. Really is Christmasy at the Hall. Have incredible toy train displays!
Here is a picture of an old train transformer there. It is a direct likeness of the train transformer we had as a kid. The green light in the middle was so cool:
