Well, I have finally managed to start to catch up on 21st century technology trends by posting my first video on YouTube! Can fame and fortune be far behind? 🙂
The song is On the Tip of the Tongue recorded at a recent concert in Saskatoon (… Saskatchewan … Canada ). It’s not a flashy, wowza!, showstopper; just a quiet little piece that means a lot to me.

Level: Intermediate Tuning: Csus2 ( CGCGCD )
I love the melody to this traditional song. This is my arrangement inspired by Martin Carthy’s classic rendition. There is a more common version of this tune which is somewhat prettier and more melancholy. But I’ve always felt Carthy’s more aggressive musical reading of it, especially given the nature of the confrontation, seems more appropriate.
Level: Int/Adv Tuning: Open G (DGDGBD)
Includes Transcription + MP3
From the album
Caffeinated Coffee
I wrote this for my Mom. It’s a slow ballad played in open G tuning.
It’s not a difficult tune. But as with many slower pieces, the challenge is to be able to play it smoothly so it flows. Take your time when playing it, and let the music breathe.
From the album Caffeinated Coffee.
