She Stole My Song

Posted on March 20, 2011 by gilbertbabin

Written in 1986, this is a jolly little piece with the two guitars creating movement in all directions. Was trying to play something coherent that didn’t sound like any body elses music.   http://www.shediac.com/bbb010.mp3

Electric Guitar 86

Posted on March 20, 2011 by gilbertbabin

This is the only time I have jammed on electric guitar. You might want to skip this one, really noisy.   In the 80’s I tried all kinds of music. Now I prefer acoustic style with simplicity present. http://www.shediac.com/aaa010.mp3
