Sometimes the answers to questions in life are hard to accept. I know that Yah wants to be my #1 focus… Continue reading Yah First Demo (A)

Lyrics: Guess who’s still alive? Ninety years old and counting. I’m hoping to survive. It’s been a miserable life (it hasn’t been all bad). No matter what they say. But that don’t matter anyway.

Chicken before the egg or egg before the chicken? I was thinking about recording a funky blues demo inspired by a 70’s Rolling Stones hit record because of my one style (only) of playing blues guitar. The next thing you know, overnight, I come up with the next Superblack Records release. It is tentatively titled… Continue reading New Release Coming September, 2024

Hello, I didn’t make it to Mississippi. I am tentatively planning to change website hosts to match my domain registrar. Hopefully that will make sense and be a smooth transition.
