Caterwauling

I returned to an undisclosed location to attempt some totally unrehearsed sonic-sin. All covers,not originals this day.  Atlantic City by The Boss; Roll Another Number; Lookout Joe; For the Turnstiles; Barstool Blues; Cortez the Killer; Through My Sails; Old Country Waltz; and Saddle Up the Palomino all by Neil Young.

Undisclosed Location

Had an opportunity to plug my Yamaha SSC-500 into an early 1980s Rivera era Fender Super Champ. On the last four tunes my first honest attempt to infuse playing live with "vocals" (not yet close to describable as "singing").
Unfortunately the day before recording I caught the fingernail of my picking hand's pointer in the garage door, damn bent half the nail up tore to quick. Ouch! Anyhow, made control of the pick a bit smarting.

Note to self, not a good idear at my age to play sitting Indian-style. Using a chair or standing, much easier on the back.

Beast of a Thousand Young; Blue Skies and Puppy Dogs; Song With No Name (AKA "Mandatory Blues"), Red Blanket (Minus the Latin); Jack of All Worlds (Master of None); Death Gripped and Cracked Pipe (Slow version); and I Don't Need No Hallmark to Tell My Baby I Love Her.

Red Blanket

Rough translation from the Latin...

(Verse the First)
Let us pray for the most wretched
That Almighty God may at length
Move the curse
And grant them the blessing
To be found only in our God
And Lord

(Verse the Second)
Eternal God, Creator of all things
Remember thou alone didst create the souls of infidels
Framing them to thy own image
And likeness
How, to thy dishonor
How, to thy dishonor
Hell is daily replenished

Teacher Happy Summertime Blues

A little instrumental piece composed last summer. The colorful visuals are from a public domain cartoon from 1936, "Somewhere In Dreamland" by Max Fleischer. I actually used my steel string acoustic guitar plugged in with a slight overdrive effect for the lead, not an electric guitar. As a matter of factuality, I had no electric guitar at this particular moment in time.

Zombies Are Us

Most of the scenes from this video are from George A. Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" with a few scenes at the end from "Carnival of Souls." Both movies are in the public domain. As a result of their transformative nature, in essence the political commentary inferred with interspersing and juxtaposition between the live-action works, the cartoons I would argue fall under the Fair Use doctrine. Hmmm, interesting to see if I'll get a cease and desist for using some famous rodent...
