Following 12 stone row, I set out to record another Fingerstyle record. Yet, as American musician life can be, the production flowline broke down.

As I’ve been reviewing recordings from that period, I’ve found some tracks I had completely forgotten about. None of them are mastered, yet hold a vital space in my catalog.

The first I would like to share is Eclipse. I have a visual map for this tune – when I locate it, I’ll update this post.

Eclipse

This tune is single take, no editing & self-recorded.

2009 was the 10 year anniversary of my only fingerstyle release. I’ve recorded roughly 20 others since 12. And, I’ve only recently been re-entering the fingerstyle arena. No more fake nails! All natural. There is an extra track in this collection. It’s the title track not included on the record [what I consider my personal best]. Recorded by Joe Didot. David Baranyk helped in the mix.

Or listen by tune:

happy dance – the only song i can still play from this record. also, was interpreted on piano by aaron urbanski. check it out.

resonant chamber – any type.

reflective surface – I consider tracks 2 & 3 as a pair. aaron urbanski also created a piano version of this tune. check it out.

acoustic nerve – the only flawless take on this record.

angle of the fire – infinite possibilities. all directions.

wind off water – the pull strum!

discord's meadow – originally titled 12 stone row. took it’s name from the bonus track – 12 stone row – below. Swapped them out.

light song – a little sloppy for my taste.

a penny's thought – a tiny lullaby.

harp's great tear – a play on tear: the harp emitting a large tear, a tear in whatever is tears.

array – took over 20 starts. [these tracks are single take, no editing]

lenore's lament – first ever fingerstyle tune. only tune not recorded in bunch. originally titled ‘waiting’. recorded in denver, co, 1995.

12 stone row- title track not included on the the cd. originally titled ‘discord’s meadow’ – see above. i consider this my apm. this is un-out-doable for my skillset moving into future nows.

Thanks to all who still include 12sr in your playlists. And, yes, I am aware that dogs & cats dig it.
