I recorded a few instrumental tracks that I made for a documentary on my grandpa Peterman.  While they’re for the documentary, I thought I’d share them here:

1) Instrumental Jam.  This tune is one I’ve been playing to myself for years but never performed for anyone but family.

2) When I Survey.  This is a traditional song arranged by myself and is roughly based on the way I have played it at church for background music during communion.

If you’ve not already checked out the Pandora Podcast, please consider doing so, its excellent.  Rather than link straight to it I’m going to suggest you start here: the History of Reggae & Ska.  Wow.  This podcast continues to amaze me with the quality of the information.  Very, very worthwhile for musicians.

My friend Steve works during the Summers on his family’s cherry farm.  Steve’s got a great sense of humor and is quite down to earth.  This was a happy birthday song for him.

Jon Carney has a large truck with big tires, a big lift and it certainly demands attention on the road.  Here’s a song about it.
