I have been looking forward to the release of this single for awhile now, and here it is for you. It just so happens to be one of my favorite tracks from my album Uncovered. This features the amazing cellist and string arrangement of Dave Eggar. He makes the track soar. Pat Bergeson plays some haunting slide guitar as well. Magic! Stay tuned for much more music coming soon. 🎸🎶😊

Here is really fun song/video I had the pleasure to be a part of going back to
1980. Yikes! The video was only created recently. Still as fun a song as ever, although if it was written today it might go something more like, "Downloads From Mars." This little gem was written, sung, engineered and produced by my dear friend, Jimmy Goings. Back in 1980, I had the pleasure to play briefly with Jimmy's touring band, Santa Esmeralda. Jimmy started a side project at the time called The Pastels. It was a place for us to experiment with different sounds and idioms. This is one of my favorites from that project. We had lots of fun on stage and in the studio. Sadly, we lost our drummer, Brett Jackson and bassist Tim Sheridan many years ago. I know they would be smiling big time if they saw the creation of the video. Check out Jimmy Goings new album, Late Check-In. Great stuff! 🎸🎶😊

Here is really fun song/video I had the pleasure to be a part of going back to 1980. Yikes! The video was only created recently. Still as fun a song as ever, although if it was written today it might go something more like, "Downloads From Mars." That's right, remember, 1980 even predates the compact disc. Although, vinyl has definitely made a strong resurgence, for sure. This little gem was written, sung, engineered and produced by my dear friend, Jimmy Goings. Back in 1980, I had the pleasure to play briefly with Jimmy's touring band, Santa Esmeralda. Jimmy started a side project called The Pastels. It was a place for Jimmy and the rest of the band to branch out and experiment with new sounds and idioms. This was one of my favorites from that side project. Check out some of Jimmy Goings new music on his album, "Late Check-In." Great stuff!

Here’s a video of my latest single, called Her. I’d like to thank the talented Jeff Beck for his exceptional creativity in shooting the video and the lovely Lorette Beck for agreeing to be in our video. Thank you! More music on the way. 🎸🎶😊

New single Sunday! This original song goes way back to my late teens. My brother and a dear friend talked me into resurrecting this one. Glad I did, I’m really happy with the results. The song features Jon Goforth on tenor sax solo and horn arrangement. Stay tuned. Lots more music to come. If you’re not an Apple Music parson, it is available at all the streaming platforms. 🎸🎶😊

If you like the cozy sounds of your favorite Christmas songs played softly on guitar, check out my first Christmas release, On Christmas Eve. I know, shameless plug, but someone has to do it. I didn’t start playing guitar to keep it to myself. Wishing you and yours a happy holiday season. 🎸🎶🎄❤️

Attached is a beautiful Christmas song I had the honor to take part in recording a few years ago. The song is Mary Did You Know? It is actually one of my favorite Christmas songs. Tower Of Power also recorded a version of the song that will be on our Christmas release for 2024. Thanks to my dear friend and producer Chris Miloslavich for sharing this with me. I am a huge fan of Christmas music. I hope you enjoy it. 🎶❤️😊
