An instrumental blues for this animal I know. He sleeps with my daughter. Eats out of a dish on the floor. But the boy knows how to live!

Kind of reminds me of Bill Frissell in places...I think you
do something interesting with the blues here. Lots of nice
and original phrasing. Nice and subtle.

Again... &mdash 05/18/05 - 10:34:07 PM
Beautiful Ziti. Man, I love your style...and touch. This is just
downright gorgeous. All the subtle inflections and
overtones...

What can I say...wish I could do it...but since I can't, I'll listen
to you, and I'll make sure others listen to it too...count on it.

Totally hip blues &mdash 05/19/05 - 06:45:53 AM
Very cool. Smooth and slinky. Great playing, nice lines,
classic; nice key change; dug the rhythm variations in the
melody. Nice funky drum groove. Could have used a hair
edgier EQ on the bass. Totally hip. Excellent track.

Thanks...I've really enjoyed your material as well. I use a Line 6 amp. I can't
endorse it enough. It's a little spotty for gigs, but it makes recording an
'effing JOY!!!

cool and slinky &mdash 05/20/05 - 01:13:55 AM
love your use of high pitched guitar notes. You really
squeeze alot of music out of those high sounding leads.

You put notes just in the right places.

Very, very cool. Inspiring! I liked getting an idea of what you used to record this in your responses to the comments above. It does remind me of one of my favorites, Bill Frisell.

Thanks!! &mdash 05/23/05 - 09:48:27 AM
Thanks Jim (what an odd virtual name) I never ever expected to be compared
to Bill Frisell!! in a million years! he is one of my favorites, but I never
considered him as am influence...but yeah, I love the spacey thing and use of
open strings, so i guess....You are way too kind! I love it

Thanks!! &mdash 05/24/05 - 07:51:58 AM
I have been listening to Bill Frisell's latest "Unspeakable" which is less spacey maybe than some of his stuff, and that's what this sounds like in parts. I think it's your light touch and all...really quite nice. BTW, I'm in Boston too...

Have you checked out "blues dream"? WAY COOL. and on he did with Kenny
Wheeler(tpt) and Lee Koonitz(Angel Song) that's beautiful. Well if you are
around the area, look for the TAYLOR BROTHER BAND. I'll be the one with the
guitar.

heres another idea &mdash 05/27/05 - 11:17:37 AM
you could make some money with that music. Go play that
shit in the streets and ask for money to stop playing that horrible shit.

Missed it &mdash 07/19/07 - 08:24:06 AM
Some good comes from all the bad vibes my friend - I probably wouldn't have got here if it hadn't showed up in chat. Excellent little tune, lovely touch!

oh my &mdash 07/19/07 - 01:28:52 PM
those negative comments were on this song from the very old days...they have no relation to any current events

i pray to god there is no mis-understanding over that...i thought those remarks had been deleted years ago!

An honest mistake... &mdash 07/20/07 - 11:53:02 AM
...but an important point revealed...

And, through it all: a very cool blues...
