No Foolin' - Tom Brier & me - Recorded in Sutter Creek, CA - May 2014
More "lost" footage of Tom. I think I didn't upload this back in the day because I was too critical of my performance (I had only played this piece a few times prior to this so it's essentially a sight-read). I don't care about that anymore xD
Here's my final (for now anyway) take on this rocking tune. This piece is so damn fun to play that I thought I'd have another go at it, this time played even faster than my first two attempts. Enjoy!

This is the first part of an album I made called Mockingbird from the way back when of 2005.
It was the 4th and final is a series of albums from early 2005 that I made as a result of getting my hands on a quality DAW (pro tools) for the first time. This also just so happened to coincide with my being a passionate 19-year-old college dropout with a fierce motivation to create.
The result is a raw but powerful vision into that tumultuous and even otherwordly time of my life. Shortly after recording this, my laptop died and I lost the ability to use a multi-track recording studio for several years.
This video contains the first 3 tracks of the album...the first, Air à Faire Fuir, is by the brilliant French composer Erik Satie.
The second, For I'm Far, is based on a lovely guitar lick written and performed by my high school buddy Johnny Plastini.
The third, Petticoat Junction, was written and recorded (along with For I'm Far) in April 2005 when I took a solo trip up to the mountains for that purpose. The photos from this video are from this trip.
The remainder of the album will be forthcoming...

This was the first video I took at Sedalia this year.
Having just finished the entire Bioshock series, I thought it was funny that one of the first songs I heard performed was used as the theme of Bioshock Infinite...
This is only the second half of Solace, one of Scott Joplin's most beautiful compositions, published in 1909.
Barron and his father Donald were easily two of the most incredible performers at the festival.
Brace yourselves, more Sedalia videos are coming...
