I uploaded some more tracks from my last season playing in Antigua, Guatemala. Pardon the background noise, these were recorded on my phone but the performances should come through. Duo and trio work.
Muchissimas gracias a Andy García, Fernando Ortiz, Miguel Angel, David Gerow, and Dave Mendez, some with rehearsal, some without. You make it sound so easy.
Usual Suspect stuff coming up next.
Today I’m dropping the third installment in a series of videos I’m making of my past tunes. This week it’s one of my favorite songs, “Last Night”.
This song was inspired by a visit to Kilmainham Gaol in Ireland and is about a prisoner’s conjugal visit the night before execution.
Dancing lends such kinetic energy to a song, but I was never one to work with a choreographer and backup dancers. So for this video, I grabbed all the stock footage on dancing and threw it together, and – surprise! – it actually worked. More vogueing than you can shake a stick at, and my favorite one so far.
Here are affiliate links where you can get this song:
During my stint in Antigua, I did record a lot of gigs on my cellphone. I am just starting to dig through the archives and realized just how fun and how talented the pool of musicians is there.
Here is a jam I did with Gypsy Chitra at Whiskey Den, I affectionately remember as the Whiskey Chitra gig.
Big ups to David Gerow and Fernando Ortiz for awesomeness. I still have no idea what song this was… LOL

I am working on dropping a video or some archival footage weekly, so you can enjoy something from the catalog, while I am working on next steps.
This week, I took a stab at a lyric video using the Rotor online software. They are just developing their text overlay, so transitions weren’t available, like they would be in FinalCut. Still, it was good challenge to make something not too clunky using only timing.
And here’s where I post affiliate links to my music:
Ebay – out of print CD
Hasta el proximo video!
I am starting to work more on my content while the record has been delayed for a moment. So, what better way than revisiting the archives and compiling songs from my previous records?
I have started to make videos using Rotor and FinalCut. So here is the first one:
You can download this song on Apple Music and Amazon. Or you can get a collector’s out-of-print CD on Ebay here.
By the way, these are affiliate links to the above websites, so I can earn commission on any resulting sales. It does help, while I’m in between things. : )
