Thanks for the comments! I am fiddling with compression settings and all sorts of timecomsuming stuff to make the videos look better. I recorded a dozen or so tunes in the studio yesterday (quickly, so the performances aren't perfect).

But I learned years ago playing bars that being known for guitar playing is like being a gunfighter in the Old West...someone is always faster and better and looking to pick you off.

So for me it's about the melodies. If ever I get this stuff in album form I'd call it "Tunes My Dog Can Whistle"!

Always have worked solo to this point. I have written lyrics, but not in this batch I just got on video.

So I'll send an update when I get the others loaded.

Thanks again!
