Past Appearances is a brief photo album that will open in a new window, covering some Tucson appearances since I started documenting with a digital camera.
Teri Woods CD
musical-priest-mixed.mp3
gives you some idea of how I sound in a six-piece
band: It's a track I arranged
and played on this summer for an album by a local singer /
songwriter, Teri Woods. Part of my "payment" was getting to
use Tucson's Cavern Studios (and the talents of Bill Cashman)
to record and mix this track,
which features (in order of appearance on the track)
Mary Bouley, harp;
Mick McQuaid, tin whistle and Uilleann pipes;
Don Gest, tin whistle and bodhran;
Jim McConnell, guitar;
Jerica Leathers, fiddle;
Dave Firestine, mandolin.
The music consists of three Irish / Scottish reels: The Musical
Priest, The Sailor on the Rock, and Lord Gordon's Reel.
You can purchase the CD at
