It's been quite a while since I performed at one of Doug Young's Acoustic Gutiar Showcase presentations http://www.dougyoungguitar.com/guitarnight.php because his invitations have been coming when I was lucky enough to be in Hawai`i. But this winter he caught me at home for his annual Super Bowl of Acoustic Guitar, when his first of the month show goes up against some football game. As usual, the guitar fans turned out and filled the room, Doug has done a wonderful job of finding a faithful and friendly audience. The discussion of my Hawai`i trips led to my opening number, an arrangement I call my Honolulu medley. It joins "He Aloha No O Honolulu" by Lot Kauwe with "Honolulu I'm Coming Back Again," written by an LA songwriting team as a tourism promotion. This is the first vocal performance I've posted, so it's a milestone of sorts. The guitar is a Tony Yamamoto OMY tuned to taropatch F - C F C F A C low to high. The video and audio are both from a Panasonic Lumix GH2, with all editing done in Edius Neo.

Apr 6, 2012 - Andy, thanks for stopping by. I'm still not sure why I did that vocal, but the mic was just sitting there ... How's the playing going? Fran

Apr 6, 2012 - I'm making slow but steady progress -- it's very gratifying! Working on the stuff you and Patrick showed us, as well as Mark Nelson's lessons on jamplay.com. Also just trying to figure some things out by ear -- always a good exercise. I look forward to my half an hour (or more, when lucky) with the guitar every night. Hope to see you soon! Andy
