August 3rd, 2009 - Weekend Recap

I had a great time playing at the Root Note on Friday night. It was great to hear Joe do his solo set, hopefully I can talk him into doing it more often. Casey and Jeff's performance was also great. Special thanks to all three of those guys for joining me on a handful of songs towards the end of the night as well.

My wife was kind enough to operate the iphone for me and I have recordings of most of Friday night's performances, once I get a chance to get them downloaded I will try to post a few live tracks if the recording quality is up to par.

It never ceases to amaze me that there is so much great music that I have never even heard. Lately I have been really drawn to music from the 50's and 60's as I love the simplicity of the songs and the fact that they were recorded with real people playing all at once in a room, a feeling that is often lacking in this era of computer edited music. I am really enjoying the Sam Cooke compilation album I picked up used on Amazon. Sam has such a great voice and has done a wide variety of music. I also like that he wrote a number of his hit songs.

I don't have any shows scheduled at this point and after playing three in the last week I am anxious to have some time to focus on writing and recording new material.

Today's free music download is one of my favorite songs from Vision Question.
