Couch By Couchwest 2014

I wasn't sure if I was going to find time to get a video submitted to this year's Couch By Couchwest online music fest (or the anti-SXSW if you like) but I managed to get one in towards the tail end. I couldn't coordinate things in order to have Kevin and Richard with me this time, so it's just me on the couch this year, strumming on my 40 dollar Spanish guitar  that I purchased from the Kingston Flea Market ( I talked him down from $50).

The song I perform is called "I Just Want To Go To Bed", and you'll be able to find this tune on the upcoming Foley Mountain Playboys record.  It's a song about sitting in the motel room, after the show, towards the end of the tour. Your bandmates are drinking and carrying on, it's 5:00 AM, and you just want to go to bed. But you're really too overtired to sleep anyway. Ah, life on the road. Gotta love it!

Please enjoy and share!

Song #30 Week #30 - Rainfall

Well, it has been 30 weeks of songs, so I figured it was a good time for my first instrumental. This really is an improvised piece that I recorded on my ipod while it was raining. The background noises are really what made me want to share this one with you. The rain hitting the rooftop.Cars swishing by. Even a cricket hangs out for the whole song.

I'm playing my newest guitar. An El Degas classical guitar that I found used for the low, low price of $40!!

It's sounding and playing pretty nice.
