World Wide Rag


Get Flash to see this player.

Description
This is a song I wrote a number of years ago for a cable access show in St. Louis called "World Wide Magazine." You can find clips of the show on YouTube and it certainly had its moments. The artwork is a replica of the handwritten show's title by Peter E. Parisi who was the genius behind the show. He died several years ago and although the world is a quieter place, it is not as good a place without PEP.

The song is just a couple of guitars, Guild DM-25 on rhythm and Gibson L-50 on lead.

It's a short one, so if you don't like it, you won't waste much time.

Yes, L-5
My late father-in-law had this guitar under his bed for years, but never played. I inherited it when he died. It is a goody, with a great neck.

Thanks for comments.
