Steam Brain Boogie

My Take on an old John Fahey Tune ”The Last Steam Engine Train" I wrote a new section for it, so altered the title a bit!

 

Rough In The Diamond

This song was written about a legendary music venue in my hometown of Nashville. If you can name it I'd love to hear from you!

Deadbolt

Another one from “Thirteen”

Steam Powered Aeroplane

 This song was written by John Hartford, a primary inspiration to me for many years. I remember John telling a story of an old lady in the front row at a one of his concerts…..  She said to John, “Play something I know so I can tell if you're any good or not!" So thats what I have here, IF you know it, ha. This is a new setting for this legendary tune. If this video is your introduction to this tune,  be sure you hear John do it. The title is also that of a record he released in 1971, a benchmark recording. Search it up. it's good for people. I tuned the 12 string to a low open G, (down to E) kind of like a banjo (John played this one on banjo) and poof! The song just fell right out of the old Guild. 

 

 Hey You

This here is a song sung deeply from the heart, about an unwanted light bulb.
