i recently visited my friend, the great luthier Max Sipe, in Portland to celebrate his 100th guitar. I played a bit on it as well--hear it in this video below. Sipe was profiled in Portland magazine--the article features a few quips by me.

At Oregon State University with Ryan Lee at the Oregon Symphony's Classical Up Close with friends Andrew Ehrlich, Eric Alterman, and James Bishop-Edwards. This Feb. 12 concert was for the Oregon Bach Collegium in Eugene, OR. I'm playing on a Romantic guitar made by Portland builder Max Sipe Another free download for everyone, the product of a full Saturday's work. What a lovely Strauss song. Works well 1/2 step down from the original key of Eb major. Use a capo if you need.![]()
Recently perusing Hoppstock's mighty contribution of Schubert arrangements to the vocal/guitar repertoire inspired me to make my own. This, Im Frühling (In Spring), is one of my favorites. Level is pretty advanced, but there are still a few months left before Spring..a favorite performance, below. ![]()
Ric Burns' epic New York documentary stoked my interested in Irish Americans. Programming starts far in advance of concerts, and as I've been asked to include some Irish music on a concert in March, I made this brief transcription of the chorus. See also a bit from the documentary below. ![]()
Each term at Oregon State University I arrange new music for my Guitar Ensemble course. I liked how these two turned out enough to record them myself. Please enjoy. Over summer, I went through a bit of a da Milano phase. Here are two Fantasies I recorded. Played on a Romantic guitar by Maxwell Sipe. I've been working on Bach's late masterwork, the Prelude, Fugue, and Allegro (BWV 998) for a while, and recorded it last summer. I put the score to the recording in the video below. ![]()
