First track in the can! Danny Gotham and I are hoping to release our new album sometime in late summer. Mostly acoustic instruments, #mandolin, #classical and steel string #guitar, #ukulele, #lute, a little electric guitar and lap steel, too. Nice variety of material, too! Big honor to get to do this with Danny, who’s one of the best pickers this side of the Mississippi.
Back in ’94 I had a roomate for around 3 weeks. He was a busker and performed in various pubs around Montreal. He was, to this day, without a doubt the best classical jazz flamenco guitarist I have ever had the pleasure to listen to. He would often play so intensly that he would pass/grey-out. I knew him simply as “Yanni” or “Yanny”. He played as cutaway 6 string classical guitar. He left while I was travelling and I never saw or heard from him again. (1/2)
A few time while I noodled around on my six string he would come and sit and teach me some simple to play but great sounding little riffs and chord progressions.
My Friday ask, if anyone know him, or has any idea where he is, I’d love to see what he’s up to today, in the hopes he is still playing. Please retoot/share.
An interesting one for #MusicWomenWednesday - sometimes as I'm watching TV, I use Shazam to take note of a song so I can find it later.
Isobel Waller-Bridge is a modern classical composer for TV and movies, and her cool song "Bloom" was in whatever I was watching. That led me to her whole 2015 EP, 'Music for Strings'.
I'm not a fan of your older regular classical type stuff. But THIS? THIS is damn good.
