The Bandits have been nominated in the BroadwayWorld (BWW) Cabaret Awards – please visit their site if you can, and vote…
Here’s one I liked from the recent Ripple Allstars show @ The Bitter End. Check out this Dylan cover (longest song title ever, and it doesn’t even appear in the song), “It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry”.
Here’s a first edition of something I’m calling ‘Chord of the Day’. In this series you’ll find a short, absorbable lesson that highlights a particular chord you can use to improve your playing. For week one, I chose D/F# – everyone will find this useful. #intermediate #chordoftheday #intermediateguitar #beginnerguitar #guitarlessons #onlineguitarlessons
Here’s a short video segment made at home in the studio this past January, a head and solo chorus of Jobim’s “Look To The Sky”. Enjoy…
This jaunty version of a serious song is super fun to jam on. Dig the Ripple Allstars’ version of Black Peter, live from the Bitter End at our year-end show, Dec 11th, 2024.
Here’s a reel of highlights of me playing Grateful Dead music with The Jambaritos. I devoted myself to this music early on as a teenager, then moved on for some years and now I’m back to this rich songbook. Not for everyone, but those of us that love it, love it!
