The two selections I'm reading here are a piece of Taoist poetry by Chuang Tzu (translated by Thomas Merton) and an original of mine called "Ode to Cheesemakers." Recorded at the Barnes & Noble in Huntington Station, NY in part of the Performance Poets Association's open reading for local poets.

The playing is far from stellar, but it is fun trying out new jazzy chords on the guitar. Seagulls are worth trying - good sound and feel. Made in North America!

My computer has gone insane. Listen! Reminds me of "Fitter Happier" by Radiohead...

This is my 1999 Rickenbacker 330... Well, as all Ricks, it has it's own special sound... It's a great instrument!!

Since Dumble amps seem to generate a lot of interest, I thought that I might post an audioclip of the tonal possibilities (clean+overdriven, both played with and without preamp boost) available.

Equipment used: Dumble ODS(blackface) 100, Marshall 1x12" semi-open cabinet with Eminence Texas Heat 12" speaker. I used my go-to guitar, a Flaxwood Custom: Seymour Duncan calibrated set of minihumbuckers, neck scalloped from E1 to G3 to facilitate bending, bridge pickup 1 sentimeter further from bridge than normal to juice the tone. Close mic is Neumann U-87, ambience stereo-pair is Sennheiser. TC reverb in mixdown. No EQ was used.

The drone that you can hear in the background is all my guitar, recorded some time ago as an afterthought, that I find addictive. Maybe it's my studies of Indian (Carnatic) classical methods rearing its head.

Worth watching just to see the blindingly fast reverse stick play at the end!
I have a lot more footage I can post if anyone's interested. I'll only know if this clip is rated I guess.
