Song of the Day: Days of Sunshine, Days of Shadow
This is one of the first songs that I composed on the guitar, and I would really like to lay it down and record it as it is in my head with multiple parts. Somewhere out there are videos of me performing this song, but Lord only knows where they are.
The title of this song is actually from an episode of Little House on the Prairie- I never saw the episode but when I saw the title come on the screen at the beginning of the episode it painted such a vivid picture and story in my mind, and I transcribed that into this song.
Much of the song is played on the middle part of the neck, with the elemental theme in a mid-range tone- that is the “Sunshine” element of the song. The guitar is tuned to a beautiful “Open-D” which gives it a dark and hallowed low end sound- that is the “shadow” of the song.

I never get tired of playing on this guitar- such a beautiful tone and such a smooth feel whenever my hands glide up and down the neck- pure Heaven!

It’s hard to believe I have had this guitar over twenty years, and yet she plays just as beautiful as ever. The Fender guitars have such a beautiful and rich tone- a softness that is unique, and yet when needed they can pack a punch.

The problem with playing this Wolfgang guitar, is that she wants to be played with the volume cranked up- and that doesn’t bode well for 2:30 AM in this house. Still, because I have to go into the office, I thought I’d get my music in early!
Song of the day:
316 by Van Halen (the only Van Halen song you can play without cranking up the amps!!)

Another early morning studio session because I have to go in office today…
I have those artists that I listen to quite a bit, then step away from them for a time. And there’s that moment when you come back to them and you remember and realize just how much the music spoke to you and moved you in such a powerful way. It’s like a long-lost friend you’ve not seen for years but it’s like no time has passed in-between visits.
Song of the Day: Lightning Crashes, By Live.
