A Personal Pile of Tunes $15.00
1 Shawnee Town An old
boatman
tune
2 Howl
Away Dog * is my 'Boy! am
I glad to be out of
the city'
song. Sometime a critter can inspire you.
3 Pretty
Polly Cold blooded murder most foul and a
dark raga
for 12 string guitar. The lyrics to this one are kind of
creepy, but I am rather proud of the guitar work.
No overdubs on this one, a straight through, one take miracle.
4 One
Potato Another collection of fiddle tunes
wrapped up in my own
ideas.
Its called One Potato because . . . actually, its really
stupid, so forget it.
5 Tenting Tonight The
civil
war
again. A sentimental,
straightforward, and honest period piece.
6 Butler
Creek ©
2000
Heres an instrumental guitar
piece I wrote in the late 60's about a place where I
loved to fish and chuck rocks. Finger picking fun.
7 Timber is an old work
song about a mule. I learned it from an
Odetta album in the 1960's. Another critter tune.
8 Cane
on the Brazos is a great Leadbelly prison song
from Texas.
9 Black
Jack Davy
An oldie, but goodie. Sometimes a woman's gotta do what
a woman's gotta do.
I learned 10
Fair Beauty
Bright
from an old album by Cathy Larish and and Carol McComb back
in 1967. Don't know where they got it.
11 Blind
Fiddler A Tune from the 1850's, but could have
been written yesterday. I learned it in a bar, listening to someone,
but I can't remember who.
12 Wild Mountain Thyme An
old saw, but still a good one to do on a late Winter night.
 13 The
Veteran *
This was my response to the gluttonous
90's as seen through the eyes
of a friend , a Viet Nam war veteran. I wrote this right
after we invaded
Granada.

gunboat
