Recordings!

I have two recordings coming up and/or out. I just did a session for a solo album by Dana Gross, just really great songwriting, which will probably finish up by this month. And next month I'm doing a jazz disc with Mike Stockbridge. It reminds me alot of the second great Miles Davis quintet. The songs build and build as a unit, very organic I 'spose. And the drummer, Shawn Boissonneault, gets to freak out. I get to be the Ron Carter to his Tony Williams. Oh joy!

I don't update this thing often enough. I'm still on the fence about blogging. I need a website that features javascript games, "The Duane Experience."

Facebook may become a reality soon (again).

Sanford School

I've been teaching two classes through the River Tree at the Sanford school system. One was a middle school class on guitar and songwriting, the other being an elementary age group. This is what I learned about composers from my younger class:

-All composers are great singers. A popular example of this would be Beethoven.

-A list of great contemporary composers:
Jonas Brothers
Taylor Swift
Miley Cyrus
Avril Lavigne

Another student raised a question about other people composing for the composers....

Duane In Action, Part Deux

Here are some pictures from another Liberal Cup gig, this time with Johnny No Shoes.  I have another Ray Brown transcription coming, but my scanner is busted.  Oh well.  Clicky the pictures and they get big.

 

Duane in Action

This is from the Evan King Group gig at the Liberal Cup on April 26th. A couple months in the making from Christina's brother's camera, but better late than never.
