I find the more I proceed along this self-imposed musical endeavor, I collect hundreds of new skills. With this video I explain what I am trying to accomplish. I am in my office that adjoins my studio. Several of my covers will be recorded in the office with a 100-watt PA system & 3 100-watt amplifiers. I have engineered about 100 stereo backing tracks of my favorite songs to which I can then SING & PLAY the BASS GUITAR LIVE. BEST SOUND: If you are on your PHONE use ear phones or Blue Tooth to your vehicle or stereo set up.. On your COMPUTER? Use a stereo speaker set up.
This is the first music video I have ever posted to the Internet. I find it easier to play for 2 or 3 hours live as compared to producing a single video, error free. It is a nerve-racking process completing one video without having any major errors in the final production. I hope you enjoy "Heart Of Gold"

This is one of my many ZZ-TOP favorites. I usually play ZZ-Top songs at the beginning of a set. Reason being, I can wear a ZZ-TOP beard. Once after putting it on in a rest room I waited outside the restrooms till I was expecting to start. However, it was then reported to management that there was a strange old man hovering around the Womens' restroom. LOL.
I hope you enjoy "Sharp Dressed Man".

Don Williams is the performer who brought us Tulsa Time. However, I would wager that you did not know that Danny Flowers wrote & first performed Tulsa Time. Danny Flowers: Tulsa Time (SBC18) - YouTube We are more familiar with Don William's & Eric Clapton's versions. Danny gave them permission to do his song, but wanted Don to do a COUNTRY version first, then later Eric could do a ROCK version. The rest is history. I hope you enjoy "Tulsa Time"

The is a song created & played by "Midnight Oil" a world successful Australian rock band. The song depicts a challenge to the Australian Government to return some mountainous-desert lands to the native Pintupi tribe. This land was taken from the tribe, while the natives were to be absorbed within the Australian culture. That plan had limited success. The tribe wanted to go back to their native lands & pop culture pressured the government to accommodate the Pintupi.
I hope you enjoy "Beds Are Burning"
