Let’s Hide Away and Dance Away with Freddy King and Burglar
As a new Freddie King fan I have begun acquiring some of his music. To date, I have bookends of his career: Let’s Hide Away and Dance Away with Freddy King which was released the year I was born, 1961 and Burglar released in 1974 two years before Freddie’s death and the beginning of my teenage years. I also enjoy the compilation album, Freddie King, Ultimate Collection.
Let’s Hide Away and Dance Away with Freddy King
The album Let’s Hide Away and Dance Away with Freddy King is an all instrumental album and includes his breakout hit, “Hide Away”. Many of these tunes are pretty catchy, and “San-Ho-Zay” is another on the album that I especially like.

Burglar
When Burglar was recorded, Freddie had left Shelter Records and signed with RSO Records based in the UK due to persuasion from his lifelong fan, Eric Clapton. As the credits in the liner notes indicate this was a massive production which included some of the most prominent musicians of the time beginning with Slowhand himself plus JJ Cale, Issac Hayes and George Terry. The sound of Burglar could be described as Blues meets Funk.
Track listing:
- Pack It Up – 4:10

UPDATE Re. Dr Dan Erickson & Dr Artin Massihi – We’re Speaking Up!
Excuse me, but, what the hell kind of country are we living in now? Have we become the USSR? Communism — where the state (aka YouTube) determines what you can or cannot say?
United States Constitution, Bill of Rights:
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Just learned that YouTube removed the interview of Drs. Dan Erickson & Artin Massihi that was included in my last post titled, “Must See: Dr Dan Erickson & Dr Artin Massihi – We’re Speaking Up – Full Video“! These guys are not subversives! They are medical doctors discussing DATA and YouTube deleted them? WTF! To everybody out there: Watch this video. Download it. Distribute it. Send it to the White House. Let the DOJ know what YouTube has done. As Edmund Burke said, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
Here are Dr Dan Erickson & Dr Artin Massihi.

Everyone should watch this conference with two very smart ER physicians discussing the COVID-19 response. They raise many good points.
Update 28-April-2020: YouTube deleted this press conference! See my next post for more info.
Guitar ¼ inch Adapter Cable for Roland GK 13-Pin
Hey all,
I thought I’d share with you that I successfully built a Guitar ¼ inch Adapter Cable for Roland GK 13-Pin connections! This is a cable that allows you to connect a guitar or other instrument with a ¼ inch output (bass, ukulele, etc.) to the Roland GR-55 guitar synthesizer. If you are on a gig using the Roland GR-55 the usefulness of this is that if you don’t have another amplifier and effects, you can access the Roland COSM effects and amp models within the GR-55 and use the same sound reinforcement system that the GR is connected to.
Below is a copy of my wiring diagram that was adapted from a similar diagram posted on Vguitarforums.com by “Elantric”. As the diagram indicates, the normal guitar (or other instrument) signal is transmitted to the GR-55 via pin 7 in the 13 pin plug. A voltage divider has been added to reduce the GR-55’s +7 vdc to +5 vdc to feed pin 8 which signals the GR-55 that a GK pickup’s volume control is set to 10. I tested it and, yes, it works!
I hope this information is helpful to you.
A Quick Intro to Christopher J.
I am Chris Hartzog and this is my website, Christopher J. Music. I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest in the Seattle, Washington area.
I’ve loved music as long as I can remember. During many years of being a special needs parent to a very high needs child with autism, I started playing guitar again and started writing music. And through that experience I learned that music not only transcends languages, it also transcends disabilities.
Today my music covers a variety of styles and instruments from folk to blues/jazz, and classical to pop-rock. I am a multi-instrumentalist, playing guitar, bass (electric and upright), ukulele, keyboards, and a singer and songwriter. I also enjoy playing classical music on the double bass with my local community symphony orchestra. And, I write, arrange, record and produce songs and put them on this website for people to download and hopefully share and enjoy.
