Greetings one and all,

I’m back home after a couple of weeks away. I spent the bulk of last week in the studio with my friend and intrepid recording engineer, Kim Person. Together we recorded the next cd. It’s my arrangements of an assortment of rock tunes from 1967-74. I picked tunes that made me want to play guitar. Most are classic tunes that everyone will recognize. This project will be released on the Harp Guitar Music label owned and operated by my friend Gregg Miner. And as that name suggests, this cd is nearly all harp guitar. Aside from re-recording my nearly 20 year old (really?) arrangement of You Really Got Me on a baritone guitar, I laid down tracks of a collection of my arrangements for harp guitar. Music from Strawberry Alarm Clock, Steppenwolf, Cream, The Doors, Blind Faith, The Rolling Stones, Mountain, Jethro Tull, Hendrix, The Who, Procul Harum, King Crimson, Pink Floyd and Yes are all on here. This was a lot of fun to record and it should be available sometime in the summer.

As fun as this was to do, it’s past time for me to get back to my own composing however, and that will be a focus for the immediate future.

I enjoyed my shows in NC and VA. My brother Jim’s piano playing is better than ever and it was fun to do another show with him. Thanks to all who came out!

Best to everyone,
sb
