Title Track journey to Euskadi and how it became a song...

---

"The Title track to my album Journey to Euskadi was a fairly easy song to write. A friend of mine who played professional guitar was actually coming through Elko - and he made a stop by my house and we just started tinkering with music. He started playing this guitar riff over and over - and the idea came so naturally. So in about an hour the song was written. It didn't require anything fancy - it was more of a sentiment of a trip that I had taken to the Basque Country, so the idea was always there but the melody never came to me until that day, so It's pretty magical when two musicians get together and the inspiration that occurs. It was a great song and that was a great day. So Journey To Euskadi came to be in a simple manner."                                                                                                                                                                                                          

One of my my favorite venues is performing at the Folklife Center. The acoustics are always crisp and bright and the company is hands-down one of the best crowds around. Thank you Kenny Harriman!
