Two Dreamers

I dedicated this song to Joe my partner and our madness. If it weren’t for Joe, none of this would’ve come together. We’ve been friends since 1984, studying music, (BTW Joe is a terrific guitarist) being an integral part of the Wolfpack guitar ensemble as a player, and later the Wolfpacks’ soundman. Joe helped me build both studios and generously invested in the microphones, the mic-preamps, the outboard gear and the monitoring speakers. We both purchased guitars from John Zeidler, which I used throughout the album. Joe was and is a constant encouragement and friend. In fact, Joe and his wife Michelle actually got married in our kitchen at our new place. We piped out the ceremony into our nice size yard. It was an unbelievable day of love, friends and music people from all over the country, eating, drinking and playing music all day long. There have many good times here together since.

“Two Dreamers” was written as a guitar solo featuring the awesome John Zeilder guitar. It is in DADGAD tuning. As a super fan of Michael Hedges, I wanted to write a song is his style that incorporated some of his revolutionary guitar, slap technique. The beauty of the guitar is that it is such a multi faceted instrument that can generate melody, harmony and rhythm simultaneously. My goal was draw out the harmonic chords in the percussive section, something unique to guitar. It took much practice executing these slaps and recording them without clipping and capturing the tone of this great guitar in the fullest way possible.

This recording is a testament to my friendship with Joe. It wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for our friendship and commitment to trying to do something well. “Two Dreamers” is completely dedicated to our long-time friendship with all of its ebbs and flows. We’ve truly been two dreamers for a long time.
