I like to play finger style acoustic guitar inspired by the old blues masters of the Mississippi Delta 1920-1940. Listen to some of my audio tracks at https://soundcloud.com/fingerstyle_guitar or watch some videos uploaded to flickr.com at http://www.flickr.com/photos/frizztext/sets/72157632490396721/

P.S.:
compare four other guitars I liked to play on:

Biography
Born 1945, I was interested to discover what happened BEFORE I could join the party. I fell in love with the old guitarists listening to records from 1920-1940.

  7. What a beautiful post, dear Frizz, I sat and listened to them… reminded my son’s guitar days… He is a guitarist too. But he can’t play now because of his job, he is busy so busy… I missed to hear guitar sound in my day, especially when he was at home… Thank you, and these photographs are so beautiful too. Is there any other video that I can listen to your music, ?
    Have a nice weekend, love, nia

    Fun to listen/view your music–just kept clicking. I love Blues–indeed I do. Blues Jam coming to my neck o’ the woods soon–Yay. I wrote lyrics for a tiny, simple blues piece–find it on my Writing Life tab–“Still Morning Blues.”

  13. I listened on soundcloud, but still can’t figure out how to comment there. I like the minor key stuff the best. How you play in E flat I don’t know, but it all sounds very nice, Mississippi Frizz.

  15. I really do like listening to you play. Why was it that you erased all those video clips on youtube? Unfortunately, I didn’t know about them in time…

    • too much copyright restrictions on youtube – even when I played Silent Night or Amacing Grace! They are killing the enthusiasm, joy, optimism, communication of musicians!
