Over the past couple weeks I’ve been listening to studio experiments and fragments created in a recording program called Riffworks 2.6.5 by Sonoma Wire Works, a tool geared toward guitarists (but not exclusively for guitar). I first discovered the tool in mid-2009, and used it heavily for a little while, ...
Signals with Shivasongster returned to the interwebs on 10/20/11 after a hiatus of a couple months due to our travels in Ireland, EM2011, and other priorities. Now back as a monthly program, Signals is offering me a place to once again experiment with new sounds and put myself out there ...
Last night’s show at Avenue 209 coffee house in Lock Haven was a good mix of experiences, combining an appreciative audience, great stage ergonomics and good sound. I had some fun with a few of the Irish tunes that have been rattling around in my songbook since before the Ireland ...
Along the way to our accommodations in Northern Sardinia, we had lunch at a place called Red’s Bar in the small town of Chiaramonti. Inside the restaurant looked like any other bar/sandwich shop just about anywhere else. The bathroom was another story. One memory that will stick with me is ...

{Reposted from my original 2008 trip journal and reflections in 2009} Looking back on the pictures and the trip as a whole, the Positano region, including the nearby town of Ravello, was the most musical of the trip. Our first night in Positano, we saw a street band ...
On arriving in Capri, we heard opera singing coming from an opera festival that was winding down not far from our hotel. Otherwise, aside from some street music and this sign… not much going on musically in Capri. ...
{Reposted from my original 2008 trip journal and reflections in 2009} It’s worth reiterating what I said on my review of our travel agent: “My own personal pet peeve was that Hidden Treasures seemed to be completely oblivious to any specifically musical offerings along our way, and did not go ...

I purchased a Mahogany Baby Taylor travel guitar for our first trip abroad. I already own a full-size Taylor, so I knew that the quality would be good. Aside from being one of the best values for the money, the reviews also indicated it was fairly easy to get onto ...
