Wow, I am impressed. This a list of some great songs. You cover some of my favorite artists like Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Seger, and The Band.
Some of these songs are very difficult to do accoustically. Tree Top Flyer would seem tough. Guess you have mastered it...good for you.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

i'm fortunate to have brandon lee, he is a cross between stevie ray vaughn and joe satriani...awesome twelve string guitar player...
tree top flyer requires a guitar set up just for that song,,,it is tuned in a key that only works for that song...
i sang with a band called "the rude boys" in the 80's and enjoyed every minute of it...looking forward to belting out tunes again...
merry Christmas and happy new year,,,

WOW!!! I am impressed as well. But, then again I know how talented you are. How do these songs sound at midnight under the stars?
Joe Satriani in my opinion is one of the most unrecognized and under appreciated talents in the music world. His guitar playing kicks ass. Not only that he has been a great teacher of his talent...Kirk Hammett of Metallica was one of his students.
Are you planning on doing some live gigs?
we will start doing a weekly gig at spanky's and then at the vineyard...chris leblanc plays there on wednesday and thursday but has other gigs on the weekend so we will do the friday night slot...
brandon lee's 12 string ovation playing moves us up most bars list of live entertainment...
the last time i sang at midninght i had a dirty martini in a coffee cup in one hand and a camel menthol in the other...that was SEVERAL years ago...i was glad to find out i can still sing (sober)...
Dude,
I wish I could be sitting in the club listening to that set. I like the mix of classic, country, and newer rock stuff. Ice Cream Man is a fun tune to change up the mood, and I dig Sweet Melissa to mellow me out.
I hope one day to hit the Red Stick area and check you out. Do you have any demo tapes of your stuff?
Cheers,
TBone
