Happy Father's Day!

Well, the first official day of summer is here for 2009. It's smoking hot down here in NC, and it's Father's Day. This one is just a single guitar track (the background pad is just a tweaked reverb), because much needed yard work and the riding of bicycles took precedence over indoor activities. I wish I had an easy to upload pic from my childhood with my dear old dad, but maybe it's best in this case to use your imagination and create your own personal image of childhood nostalgia.

PCH 1

Last April, my wife Ellen and I had the pleasure of driving the Pacific Coast Highway. I was on tour on the West coast, and we rented a car to drive between shows in San Francisco and Los Angeles. The road was closed due to a brush fire about 2 hours south of Monterrey, so we were able to enjoy Big Sur from both directions.

A phenomenal photographer, my wife documented our trip with her Diana camera. Unfortunately, much of the film was damaged in processing--camera places just don't do much film anymore, I guess. These are some of the few surviving shots.

You can see much more of her wonderful work on her flickr page.

If the trip had a soundtrack, it might have sounded something like this:
