I have a song featured on the NATIONAL GUITARS CATALOG / CD package called "ARTISTS IN RESONANCE" Vol 2, which is available from National guitars. It features a song by many of the great artists that play National Guitars, along with a catalog with specs and picture cards of the models that they produce. It is a really spectacular presentation. The song I play on that is "Savannah Mama" by Blind Willie McTell, and is performed to demonstrate the sound of a National Baritone Estralita 12 String Custom Guitar made of Walnut that they custom built for me.

Don’t Forget It

My latest CD project was recorded in Nashville in June (2019) and was just released. It includes 18 cuts, recorded at Richard Smith’s Tunesmith Studio , and mastered at Tom Eaton’s Studio in Newburyport Ma., and has a great line up of musicians on it. It includes Dennis Crouch on Upright bass, Stuart Duncan on fiddle and Mandolin, Andrea Zonn on fiddle and backup vocals, Josh Hunt on percussion, Jim Stevenson on dobro and Richard Smith on second guitar. About half the tunes on the CD are solo and include a number of new songs I have written along with my traditional Blues and Ragtime stuff. The title of the CD is called “Don't Forget it". It is available either here, Amazon Music, ITunes, Spotify and most major streaming services.

The steel and Resophonic guitars I play are all produced by NATIONAL RESOPHONIC GUITARS in San Luis Obispo Ca. The flattop guitars used on these recordings are by COLLINGS guitars with the exception of one guitar played on DOWN IN BLUE, that I built in JULIUS BORGES shop. It is based on a Gibson 185 style in Brazilian Rosewood and Red Spruce. All sound equipment and pickups used in all the live shows and some select recordings are by FISHMAN TRANSDUCERS, Boston Ma.
