Captain asked me to post this. It is a blues song that I wrote for a blues set I did last night. Still needs a bit of work. It is called "Gonna see my baby tonight"

Thanks Virginia, it is a very simple song. If I get some time I will webcam the picking for you. it sounds a lot harder than it is, it is very simple picking on 3 chords .. really easy

Sounds real good, Dan, but the lyrics are a little too subtle for me; I can't quite tell what you're getting at.   ;^}

Ya Dean, LOL, this song came about because a french blues / Jazz artist who is a friend asked if I could write a "Jelly Roll" old time blues for her CD. So this was my attempt ... not what I normally write for sure LOL

GNU
I am going online to BMI today and officially change the name of Appalachia to "Gary's Appalachia"

About once a week you tell me how much you like it so I am going to name it for you ... I mean it to

I learn a lot about songwriting from you, Dan. I like that you aren't afraid to try different styles of music. I love your guitar work as well as your singing. So thanks.

You are most Welcome Maeve, your writing and performance is better than all of us. That is the truth. Amazing is the word.

Oh many people emailed me about St. James Infirmary. I learned to pick it from my brother JT and in a million years I could never play it as well as JT (Jayto on mudcat)   He taught me how to pick it

Dan I have listened to your songs with much enjoyment.
If I may offer a note of technical advice, I would use a music producer program to compress the orignal files and then post them with a bit less volume. The amount of echo or digital reverb is fine as is or you might experiment with reverb applied to only certain frequency ranges.

You want your membership back, just say so.

You just keep getting better, Dan. Makes me want to take some guitar lessons.

Donuel
thank you so much. I thought the same thing, I have the volume kicked up to high, will fix that for sure. I am using too high a compression for sure. I think I am using way too much reverb also. Gosh I wish I could produce better. I need to work on that more for sure. I listen and I can hear all kinds of things that drive me nuts.

Jeri
my dear friend
thank you!
