Please, take a listen to "Cruising" with Christopher Martin Hansen on lead guitar! Thank you!
Cheers, Everyone!
I was born and raised in Germany and moved permanently to the U.S. in 1986. As a young guy (age 18) I've taught myself to play the guitar and soon expanded to other stringed instruments and the piano (well, keyboard!). I've been playing live gigs for years, then took a little break. Soon, I picked up composing and songwriting again. I've been around for music just about for 30 years and it still remains one of my biggest passions in life.

This one sounded (at the intro) like it was going to be a mellow tune. But, to my chagrin, Mike brought in a fuzz(ish +) induced rhythm guitar. And added another (country influenced) rhythm guitar that melded well with the first. Then factor in eclectic lead guitars that supported each other, and worked well with the sax solo.
Lots of really cool textures here that keep you from guessing what’s happening next.

Nice blues standard Mike, and you’re particular solo was tasteful and well played. But, nothing personal here, Chris’s lead was exceptionally done (Chris, if you see this, what guitar and effects we‘re you using…. I promise I won‘t try to clip any of your stuff).
All that aside, the backing instrumentation/production and scoring was up to your usual level Mike. Very enjoyable.

Music
Thanks to Maria Daines and her incredible vocals and Jim Miller for his awesome Sax work on this tune!
Just found the right tone for my guitar with this tune, originally recorded with a classic guitar!
Kephas and I trading lead on a tune that I produced ... all instrument, except Kephas' lead by me.
Kephas added some great lead guitar to this piece!
Rick Kresiak on lead guitar, bringing my music to life!
A bit of Dire Strait feel? You tell me! I had fun doing it , though.
Just having fun!
Cruising down the musical highway.

About as smooth as it gets. Thanks to Christopher Martin Hansen
This is a song I wrote about my horse Robin, who was killed by lightning in a thunderstorm some 25 years ago.
Thanks to Lisa Miller for lending her incredible vocals, Jim Miller and his awesome saxophones as well as Christopher Marting Hansen for
I played dirty, Chris played clean. Two guitars crying the Blues.
A dreamy Latin/Jazz tune... it's Midnight - almost time to go home...
Inspired by some bad storms with Tornados hitting our city. (Work in progress)



Wirklich tolles Stueck
Outstanding work, very, very well done
