Gordon Lightfoot Tribute - Webcast Recording
As I've probably said before, Gordon Lightfoot's passing this week made me very sad. I hypothesized that doing a webcast wherein I played every song of his I knew (and a few I wasn't real solid on) would help me bring closure to my feeling of sadness, loss, and general mourning. I think this webcast achieved that, and here it is. Not perfect, by a long shot, but every minute was sincere, and I'm feeling much better as a result. Just over 4.5 hours, that was a first for me.

A demo video showing off my '70s-vintage Ibanez 2453 Howard Roberts model, and a little explanation of why I like it so much.
Wacky Guitar Synth Stuff
Переглядів 101Рік тому
Pursuant to a request from a couple of people on the Reverend Guitar Owners group on Facebook, I put together an off-the-cuff demonstration of my gigging guitar rig, what it's composed of, and how it works. Kind of made it up as I went along, so I wouldn't call this a polished performance, but I guarantee it's worth every penny you paid to watch it. After showing this to a friend, I looked at m...
John Cox Memorial Service, February 11, 2023
Переглядів 148Рік тому
This video has been uploaded to UA-cam to facilitate enabling friends and family to see it. The location where it was initially hosted was unable to support the bandwidth necessary for all the people who wanted to watch it (not surprising, given how many friends John has), so I offered to host it on my UA-cam channel and Laura agreed. The slideshow video will also be posted here, separately fro...
John Cox Memorial Slideshow - February 11, 2023
Переглядів 157Рік тому
This is the slideshow that was shown at the Memorial Service for John Cox on February 11, 2023. Laura asked if I could share it here to avoid the bandwidth issues many people were having watching it from its original host. The audio is copyrighted material owned by someone else, and I make no claims of ownership, it is here to enhance the presentation for our friend John. Peace, FG
It Takes Me Home - Video Test
Переглядів 67Рік тому
Making progress in dialing in The Studio of Silliness as I get ready to resume solo webcasts and of course, the Drunken Christmas Eve Show next month. A run-through of a song I haven't played in years, U. Utah (a.k.a., Bruce) Phillips' "It Takes Me Home." It sounds different on headphones compared to through the studio PA, and the cable on my studio monitors went kaput, so I don't have those fo...
The Overland Avenue Quartet - "The Star Spangled Banner"
Переглядів 118Рік тому
On Saturday, October 1st, 2022, the Overland Avenue Quartet had the honor of singing our country's National Anthem at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California, before the LA Galaxy's final home game for the season, which was also Fan Appreciation Day. Escorted out to the pitch by the snappily-dressed San Manuel Honor Guard, we had the time of our lives singing our favorite song for the ...

A bunch of songs I felt like playing late on New Year's night. I may have had a beverage or two beforehand.
The Boilermakers "An Average Tuesday" - Gig Debut
Переглядів 1892 роки тому
This is one song from the Boilermakers' first public performance yesterday. The intent of this video is to show off the Nocturne Rooster guitar I had made for me. There will be other videos from this show, but this one is here mostly for demo purposes. Yes, I'm wearing overalls. It's pretty obvious that I'm not a major part of the L.A. Blues scene. And this was a private party gathering of a lo...
Vehicle - Frank Giffen with Foster Campbell and Friends
Переглядів 722 роки тому
I recently got to sit in with my friend and high school classmate Foster Campbell and his band from Bakersfield, CA. This song was originally done by The Ides of March back in about 1970, and I had a blast re-doing it last weekend. Playing my Nocturne Rooster guitar, which really rose to the occasion and delivered the goods. This isn't the kind of music I usually perform, but I really enjoyed i...
My Reputation Precedes Me

I guess this truck driver saw me riding in to work through Vernon this morning and then by the place where I work on the way home and found it remarkable. Street cred? Probably not.
The Real Quando, Quando, Quando

Yes, I was lip-syncing in the video I sent to Mitch Polzak for his Blues Brothers Tribute Show, but I was lip-syncing to myself, because I didn't think I could pull off the performance and keep a straight face while in costume, so after 15 takes (this is Take 14), I opted to lip-sync it. Here's the video of the actual take that you hear in the video on Mitch's show.
