about

PIECES: Complete arrangements which include additional lead, rhythm, & bass instrumentation.
BITS: Scaled-down renditions which, for the most part, use basic guitar rhythm and no bass.

This recording project is a virtual potpourri of original tunes I’ve composed over the last four decades. Every piece and bit is a result of noodling, which in my case means picking up a mandolin when I’m watching late-night television and mindlessly playing rhythms and notes in whatever key I initially land. I’ve never deliberately set out to write a tune, and because I don’t read or write music or immediately record ideas, I rely on my instinct and memory when I hit on something which “speaks to me”. I’d speculate that’s the way most of our folk and bluegrass ancestors did it, sans the TV of course.
