These videos were shot at my home church in Garner, NC when Lorraine Jordan and Carolina Road were kind enough to let me sit in with them. *EXTRA SPECIAL* thanks go to two people I am blessed to call my friends-- my Fairy Godmother, Quamela and my fellow watch loving boot wearing friend Tony. Hey Pam and Tony-- look closely-- you can't see the tie, but if you stare close enough, you'll see the boots! (Thank ya'll SO much-- I LOVE them and wear them EVERY time I'm on stage, and most of the time when I'm not!)
Amazing Grace
Shenandoah
From Merlefest 2007 Guitar Contest. Well, I didn't place this year, *BUT* a great time was had for sure. Special thanks go to my cousin Joshua for keeping my nerves calm while waiting to go on and waiting to hear the results... :-) (Josh-- we'll get 'em next year-- First Round "I Am A Pilgrim" and "Fishscale?" Get ready!!!! Hahahaha...) Amazing Grace is done in memory of all those waiting for us on the other side Shenandoah is dedicated (as always, every time I play it) to my Fairy Godmother, Quamela. The guitar I'm using is a masterpiece E2 model made by Lance Kragenbrink of Vandercook Lake, Michigan. Lance is a master luthier as well as a true friend and I send him my thanks for such an incredible instrument.
The Shenandoah Suite (Intro)
From the Newport Guitar Festival in Miami Beach, Florida 2008. This clip is me playing the guitar master luthier Lance Kragenbrink just finished for me, a Brazilian Rosewood / Carpathian Spruce D-14. This is the intro to "The Shenandoah Suite," a medley inspired by a dear friend who recorded this for an all instrumental album that, quite literally, changed my outlook on music. As always, this song is for my Fairy Godmother. I only hope I made you both proud. I must confess-- this was my first time playing through a Neumann KM 184 microphone. With the combination of a superlative instrument and one of the finest microphones in existance, I found myself listening to the sounds in the room, completely unaware what was causing them. All the while reveling in the truth of what my Fairy Godmother says-- we are merely vessels through which music is gifted to the world by God.
