This happens to me wherever I go. Music has a way of bringing people together. Music has a way of finding a connection and creating a lasting friendship out of random notes and jams. It happened again just the other day. It's funny how things work when you look back at them. A friend of mine is a singer in a reggae band. He played a party of ours with a bass player named Renny Jones. We jammed all weekend and talked about shooting some music videos.
Now, months later, he calls me and we make a plan. The other day we ventured into a local forest to shoot it. He brought a saxophone player named Tootsweet with him and they did a great job and nailed their parts in turn. When we were all done with the shoot I broke out my 12-string and we played a little Wilderness Blues. We had never played before — in fact, we had never met before — and before you knew it we were making music. We had a great time and we shot it until we ran out of tape. I am so glad I had my 12-string with me. I have a new friend and three new videos. Here is the first one, a brand-new song called Home Alone.
Enjoy!
Stay Tuned! There's more.
