Had some down time over the Christmas weekend, so Will and I got together at our friend Dan’s house to play some songs…

Of Yellow Pages

admin — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 08:55:45 +0000

This notebook has seen
many years. Many moons.
Many zip codes.
The night air of autumn
has many times yellowed
its edges, curled its corners.

I used these stenos
during the winter we lived
out in the country,
near the pond where we
rowed around our love, and
the morning fog was full
of questions;
by Christmas it had
strangled the house
and mingled with the
smoke of a chimney, once
lonely, once jealous.

These pages filled
with answers and notes
to the classes
of my new life.

For a few years,
after we’d left that house,
after you’d gone to another,
and I’d gone to the city,
these empty
lines held up
part of a
bookcase, then
and old organ,
and now
remind me of
what is real
and what is not.

This is worth reading before watching the film:

Such purity and peace of mind again…”

Vocal Tracks – Beach Boys

This the vocal takes from The Beach Boys’ album Pet Sounds tracks “God Only Knows”, “Sloop John B”, and “Wouldn’t It Be Nice”. I can’t really add anything particularly interesting to describe these recordings. They are amazing, and they showcase the talents of the musicians quite well. Also: holy crap they were good.

The Jaywalkers

My band, The Jaywalkers, are recording this summer… we’ll have more news and updates very soon. Hoping to have this record out in the fall (2011).

Classes etc

I’ve had a few people write and ask about guitar lessons, or various music classes, and I thought I’d post this info here for those interested. I do teach privately at The Studios at Eastside Guitars. And while I focus mainly on songwriting, folk, gypsy-jazz, and improvisation, there are many teachers there – some focus on metal, some blues, etc. Many genres. Take a moment and check out their site – if you have any questions, give them a call… 864-281-9771.

This is something short I did for my friend, Buddy Zapata (who is amazing!) – featuring his song, “Father’s Son”, from his album Turo. Go buy it.
