Empathy in G 1 Locomo Bossa 2 Song For Wes 3 Como Va Mi Ritmo 4 Tap Conga 5 Samba Vibes 6 Trombone Way 7 Empathy in G 8 But a Prayer 9 Five For You 10 Moo Moo   Locomo Bossa- a bossa nova beat, with lead guitar. Steve Florian is featured on drums.     Song for Wes is dedicated to guitar great Wes Montgomery and the deliberate structure, mellow mood and changes are from his musical style.     Como Va Mi Ritmo means how do you like my rhythm. This is dedicated to guitar great Carlos  Santana, and this song borrows from the chorus line in their early song, Como Va.       Tap Conga is all guitar tapping, done on a hollow body electric, a Gibson ES175, with very hot humbucker pickups. Tapping lessons were supplied by guitar tapping great Andreas Kapsalis. This has an African - Caribbean feel to it.      Samba Vibes is a remake of an early song on Cruising Lane, my first compilation of songs.  This song features Wendy Herbener Mehne on the flute. A pop tune.      Trombone Way is a remake of an earlier version on the Hill Climb album, in that earlier version the Trombone is lead, in this version it is based on dueling guitars. Pop music.        Empathy in G is a song in the "French House" style. As such it is very machine like, for that club sound, the heavy beat, taken from Northern Europe recently. The drum line required is so machine-like that I was unable to use the drum track from Steve, and went to sequencer, club-DJ-style.        But a Prayer is  gospel music. I got nothin' but a prayer, is the expression. There is something in a song that sets the mood, and this one creates some blues feelings.    Five Four You  is done in 5/4 time, and the song name is a pun on "five for you".       Moo Moo is a humorous treat of dueling guitars, one with a metal slide, the other guitar acting as rhythm. A brief foray into country music, which, in general I do not care for unless the music is instrumental.  This song brings memories of cow-tipping from many years ago. I hope you like this new music !
