Sounds

Rama P. Jama A tune that I co-wrote with Colby Maddox. Rama P. Jama was the name of a new age/world music radio show I used to listen to when I lived in Santa Cruz, CA in 1989. Rama was a terrific radio personality who turned me onto a lot of very cool world and new age music, so I named this tune after him
Listen A cut from Destination Euphoria by my friend Jim Green - The Wandering Endorphin. I met Jim at a Borders' Books Open Mic Night I used to host a few years ago. I was completely blown away by his unique guitar technique (inspired by Michael Hedges and Preston Reed, but it's his own style)...anyway, I was honored to be part of this record.
This is fine Years ago I used to spend a lot of time with my friend Pete Mancuso who owned a music store at the time. We would get together and jam and he would write tunes on the spot. I really liked the way this tune came together. Pete is a great guy and one of the most generous people I have ever known.
Memphis Train On the new cd by the band Farwell. I have known Ben Brittsan and Seth August for a few years now. They write great songs and I love to play with them. I really liked this tune the first time I heard it and I am really happy with the way it turned out.
Wonder of Life I met Mark Paffrath at a benefit gig I did with my friend Kevin O'Donnell a few years ago. He called me about a year later and asked me to play on a couple of cuts on his new c.d. -Soothe. This is a tune he wrote for his son. Mark is a great songwriter; Soothe is a really nice record and I am happy to have played on it.
