E-Mail me HERE if you enjoyed a song that touched your heart or funny bone!
OH, I have added a new section HERE !
If you would prefer to just listen to the songs, I have 2 other auto play pages
for the songs on this page without the lyrics being shown as is on this page.
Multi-play pages = One HERE and Two HERE, and of course the solo accoustic
page Three HERE which is my solo voice with only an accoustic, very folksy and intimate.
Check out the lyrics and play the song!
Hello there friends and strangers, grinners
and pickers!
On this site I am sharing some of my original home recorded
songs.
I have been at this sort of thing off and on for more than 30
years and maybe you will enjoy some of thoughts and noodling on the 6 string and
keyboards.
I wrote my first song at the age of 16 I believe. I have
written a couple hundred at least. I have lost count. I love blues and like rock
and rock and roll a lot. I delve into folk and country now and again a bit too.
What else you should know about me: I started out with a
guitar I bought from GoodWill that cost $37.50 I believe coming from my mom's
accoustic guitar that I learned to play chords and pick a bit. My first band had
Bruce Shubert as rhythm guitar, Chuck (Charlie) Bezold as our firey bass player
and Freek aka Barry Bezold as the dynamic drummer! I really have to give Barry (Freek)
extra kudo's. Totally awesome drummer and I still feel proud to have had him for
a best friend for so many years and to have him as a drummer in our band.
Awesome friend and musician!!!!! Still think about you and love ya Freek my
friend!!! Hope you are doing well.
Over the years I have played with so many
talented and knowledgeable musicians from Chicago (where I was born and raised),
Kentucky and around South Carolina.
My truest love and most enjoyable form of
music is not that popular and it is the blues. I have found blues the best
outlet because you can make the guitar talk and add embellishments to what is
being sung in the songs and add to the bluesy feel. For me the blues is the most
expressive type of music which enables me to be more tasteful with my freestyle
licks and really get into the songs. 2ndly, would be the world of rock and rock
and roll where at times I can use a lot of flashy licks and run up and down the
fret board here and there to show off some speed and dexterity.
In recent years I have been fortunate to hook up with Don Spencer whom has been
a great friend to me over the years. Don took a few seeds of music knowledge and
spread it around to guitar, drums, bass, harmonica and on and on. He hasn't
stopped yet! Rock it Don! ha-ha. Don has a fantastic singing voice that almost
everyone seems to love.
Well that is about all I can think to put down at this time.
Enjoy my original songs why don't cha!
I hope you find some that you like. I jump around quite a bit.
hugs
Hooty
