Distant Music, Part 3

Written and recorded by yours truly. The title says it all; if only I had carried through on it. Personnel: JB on guitar and vocals, Bob Guida, Bass, and ?? I can't remember the guy's name on drums. Anyway, Pas mal du tout, non?

Distant Music, Part 2

Back in the 80's and 90's I played guitar in a bunch of blues and rockabilly groups. I guess the best band I played in was The Excellos with Steve Guyger on harmonica. We did plenty of gigs in the NY/Philadelphia area. At one point we went into the studio. Here are a few tracks I've recently unearthed. These were recorded live in the studio for the most part, with a couple of guitar overdubs. Personnel was Steve Guyger, harmonica/vocals, Joe Buzzanga, Guitar, Rich Yescalis, Bass, John Kennedy, Drums.

Distant Music (JB Archive Series)

Here's one from the archives. An extremely low-fi recording of my little band from some years ago. When I say "low-fi" I'm not kidding. This was recorded using a little $30 cassette player with built-in microphone. It was just sitting on the floor running during this rehearsal.

Anyway, there's 3 pieces going here: myself on guitar and vocals, a bass player and a drummer. The tune--Young Fashioned Ways-- is one I learned from the rockabilly legend Sleepy LaBeef.
