A newer song I wrote with a blues feel. I introduced to the band (Arrogant Sage) last week at rehearsal and we performed it admirably for a, “Hey guys, here is something you’ve never played before.” That is the benefit of playing with better players than myself.

In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been creating more videos – though fewer than I would like. I’m cool with the process though. I would LOVE for you to subscribe to my YouTube channel.
