Bach’s Borrea
This is my arrangement of Bach’s “Borrea.” It’s one of my faves. Jimmy Page plays this at the beginning of a Led Zeppelin song, but he doesn’t play the B part. I wonder why…?? 😮 seriously…it’s beautiful. Maybe it’s not as memorable as the A section. Whatever.

This is a cover of Raffi’s “Douglas Mountain,” from the Christmas Album.
Loving In My Baby’s Eyes cover
This is a cover of one of my favorite Taj Mahal songs, “Lovin’ In My Baby’s Eyes.” Yes, I know I got the lyrics wrong. I’ll make another one sometime.
Blues Riffing in A
Blues Improv in A. What else can I say?
Afro-pop Jam-out
This jam-out was inspired by a song from Paul Simon’s “Graceland.” I’m just exploring with my loop pedal.
Johnny Winter says…
Goin’ back to Dallas take my razor and my gun
Goin’ back to Dallas take my razor and my gun, oh yeah
Lots of people lookin’ for trouble
Man, sure gonna give ’em in some.
You know that ain’t evil
just wanna have some fun
There’s so much shit in Texas
I’m bound to step in some.
I load up my revolver
Sharpen up my knife
Some redneck mess with Willy man
I’m bound to end his life.
Goin’ back to Dallas
Gonna take my razor and my gun.
Johnny Winter says…
Eat big cat balls with your food. Cause you know someday they could make you smile.
see: “Be Careful With a Fool” off the album “Johnny Winter”(1969).
B.B. King says…
I gave you a brand new ford, but you said “I wan’ a Cadillac.”
I bought you a ten dollar dinner. You said “thanks for the snack.”
I let you stay in my penthouse. You said it was just a shack.
I gave you seven children, and now you wanna go and give ’em back.
Earl “Leadbelly” Ledbetter says…
Moses stood on the Red Sea shore;
smote that water with a two by four.
If I could I surely would,
stand on the shore where Moses stood.
Robert Johnson says…
When you gotta good friend they’ll stay right by your side. Spend all your spare time to love and treat them right.
Kernels of wisdom from the blues legend himself.
