Sample songs

Songs below are separated into 8 genres.

Many of the songs can be considered in multiple genres.

I try to read the crowd and spread my selections out over different types of genres at every gig.

I can stick with one genre if that's what you are looking for, but I prefer to mix it up.

Tamberlane Campground Clips

Below are some short clips of songs perfomed on July 5, 2025 at Tamberlane Campground. One of the guest, Chris, played bass and asked if he could sit in. His wife, Julie, took some videos and they sent them to me. Although we played together for about 45 minutes, he is only with me in the A Pirate Looks at Forty video.

But if you watch the Shake It Off video and the little girl dancing doesn't put a smile on your face, I can't help you!!

Songs Recorded

God Bless the U.S.A. - Lee Greenwood (41 sec.)

A Pirate Looks at Forty - Jimmy Buffett (30 sec.) with Chris G. on bass

I Got a Bass Player!

Chris G. sat in with me at Tamberlane Campground for about 45 minutes.

Me and Noah rocking YMCA

YMCA with Noah - The link shows a video from August 27, 2025, when two year old Noah came to the Oar House Pub for dinner with his parents. He brought a small guitar with him because he loves music. I noticed the guitar and invited him to come on stage and "jam" with me. He stayed up there for like 45 minutes and rocked it!! His parents told me several songs he liked and one of them was YMCA. This is 30 seconds of that song.
