Welcome to my music page!

This song has a lot of neat layers and dynamics to it, and I'm sure I'm missing some! I try to be true to Zac and use fingerpicking only for the intro, but then I use a pick the 2nd time around for variety. Recorded in the living room of the Boothbay House with the lovely Deb LaVoie on camera!

I've always loved the spirit of this song. "When my time comes, I'll hold my own...you won't find me in an old folks home" ... This is standing on the deck of our family's summer home in East Boothbay, with Inner Heron Island and the Atlantic Ocean in the background.

I heard Toby Keith do a version of this song and just had to do it. I do it in D instead of E (like Toby) and it's a bit of a stretch vocally, but I hope you enjoy.

I LOVE taking a song that was meant for a 5 piece band and trying to pull it off with just an acoustic guitar. I have to pick and choose which dynamics to grab and which to leave out. I hope you enjoy and please comment, like and share!

Such a simple song, but it's one where you really need to get the beat perfect to make it groove. I'm not sure I've quite got it yet, but I'll get there.

This is a bit of Waylon & Willie! I love the rhythm, it can be a challenge to keep that beat rolling and get the lyrics timed just right, especially with Willie's unique brand of "slightly off kilter" lyric placement.

This is a quick "iPhone recorded" video of my playing and singing "Honky Tonk Women" by The Rolling Stones, on a cruise we took back in January 2020.

This is my rendition of Mrs. Robinson by Simon & Garfunkel. Recorded & mixed by the talented Michael Reny

My own version of Driftaway by Dobie Gray (Mine is a little more like the Stones' version)
