see, i played professionally full time on the road for 6 years...cover bands, a couple of original bands....
in that time, i memorized well over 500 cover songs...

if i never play another cover song in my life....!!

i did an licensed cover of creedence clearwater revivals' classic 'Bad Moon Rising' on this album.. just because i always loved this song, and made it my own. but i quit doing 'covers' many many years ago. i have focused on getting better writing songs of my own, i have no interest in covers at all.

there are!

i'll be posting more tunes along the way,
but since this one is for sale,
i'll only put up a couple at a time.

if you want to hear an hours' long instrumental project, using nothing BUT this guitar,
