I published this the other day as “A Guitar Waltz”, but I decided to change the title to “The Sunflower Waltz”. I had such beautiful sunflowers growing in the garden this year and I hated to see summer end, I decided to rededicate this song to the Sunflower. So, here you go: Here is a little tune that I recorded today on my classical guitar to start your week off with. It is a waltz composed by Spanish guitarist, Dionisio Aguado y García from Opus 7.

I was inspired a while back by Seattle area musician, Eric “Two Scoops” Moore, who is well known for penning great tunes with a food or eating theme. For example his song, “Big Buffet” (“They got meat and potatoes, they got beans and rice, they got good country gravy make you go back twice … “). So I decided to take a stab at writing my own food inspired “hit”. Songs you write can tend to take on a life or direction of their own and my composition ended up to be a mixture of a food story and a fictional love story. (to my Christian friends out there, I am not advocating adultery and I am happily married, just for the record!) Let’s just say I have had a taste for hot sauce since I was a kid and I may have had a crush on a Mexican waitress when I was a teen…. More about this tune, as well as the title will be revealed in a future posting. 😉
I obviously jumped the gun when iTunes first approved my podcast, because this initial podcast never appeared in my iTunes list of episodes or for some reason in my site’s RSS feed. Oh well. Anyway, here is a link to Podcast # 1 that I posted on August 5, 2013. Thanks for going back in time with me!

I have another new song in the works. The lyrics are written, and actually have been written, for a while now. Been working over the mix in the studio on and off the last several months. This post is just a bit of a teaser. Here is a clip of the intro, bass and drums only. Can you dig it?
