1: Somewhere Out There
Written for a production of my wife Margaret's play, "Sightseeing".

2: Two Left Feet

3: Moss Town Boys

4: Morning Prayer
the endless science project of 12 string (in this case 8 string) guitar tunings. The top pair of string is tuned to a major third, the second pair is a perfect fourth. The rest is a variation on DADGAD but tuned down to B flat.

5: Pedro Luis
My friend Charlie Dos Santos gave me a marimbula that used to belong to Pedro Luis Ferrer, the great Cuban singer and songwriter. I used it for the bass line and then made this piece out of it.

6: Bluegrass Girl
A looser version of a song I recorded a long time ago on a CD with Jeff Berman called Big Black Sun

7: Pee Willie

8: Bolero
an earlier iteration of the 12 string tuning experiment, before I'd started changing string gauges. I'd broken my thumbnail, so had to play mainly by just brushing the strings with my thumb.

9: Oh How I Love Jesus
A tribute to the great Bahamian guitarist Joseph Spence
