It's Not BaroqueTime: 0.56Tuning: DAGDAD Instrument(s): EVD Custom Acoustic Guitar This composition evokes memories of a Baroque string quartet utilizing chords and scales that are not commonly employed in modern music. Try to listen for the droning of the D strings and the harmonic overtones of the minor-6th chords as this short melody crescendos to a conclusion. In choosing “It’s Not Baroque” to open the CD, I have tried to select something that will set the stage for a relaxing adventure through my musical world.

Jason's PartyTime: 3.27Tuning: DAGDAD Instrument(s): EVD Custom Acoustic Guitar: Tacoma Thunderchief Acoustic Bass; Various Percussion Instruments Jason is one of my son Zack’s best friends and I played guitar for a very special party for him held at his home. While playing at the party, this melody evolved from an improvisation and captures the joy and celebration of the moment. A special thanks to Howard Simon for loaning me his Tacoma Thunderchief acoustic bass that had just the right tonal quality to complement the guitar phrasing. © 2007 Lawrence Blatt

Say Hello to YesterdayTime: 4.16Tuning: Standard Instrument(s): Wingert Parlor Acoustic Guitar This is basically a compilation of many melodies that I have been carrying around since I was about sixteen years old. Initially, I play the first melody in duplicates followed by a short duet played over the melody line. The bridge is a little melody I first came up with in high school which nicely transitions back to the original introduction. I call it “Say Hello to Yesterday” as these melodies remind me of days past.

Where Have You Gone?Time: 3.30Tuning: DAGDAD Instrument(s): EVD Custom Acoustic Guitar, Fender Electric Jazz Bass, Various Percussion Instruments As we grow older we inevitably experience the loss of family and friends through death. I have experienced loss of family and friends in recent years. This composition evokes the emotions of that loss. See if you can hear the sadness, denial, anger, and finally acceptance of the difficulties of facing the death of loved-ones as this composition moves musically and emotively forward.
