In a Bluegrass MoodI just got home from a visit to Morelock Music in beautiful downtown Knoxville to hear the banjo stylings of David Ball followed by a duet performance by my niece, Gillian Oaks and Matt Morelock (owner of Morelock Music) and a fantastic band called Red June. It put me in such a great mood that I'm posting a selection of the tracks from our first bluegrass project, BLUE YORK, right here on the homepage for your listening and/or downloading enjoyment! I hope it puts you in the mood to hear our sophomore effort, VEGAS BLUE, which we'll be mixing in the next few days.
Listen all you want to these tracks, and if you'd like to download them for your personal iTunes library, be my guest! If you'd like to donate a few shillings to help with production costs, or if you just like me and want to throw a nickel or two my way, click the DONATE button to the right and PayPal to your heart's content. You might even help pay for someone who can't afford it! However you decide to obtain them, I really hope you enjoy the music and that you tell your friends so that my collaborators and I can become international songwriting superstars! Be sure and check out David Ball and Red June on the World Wide Web, and be on the lookout for my 10 year old superstar niece, Gillian!
