Original "SUNRISE"

islandguitar · #1 01-21-2018, 11:55 AM

Hi folks,
Just adding in here: "Sunrise" from the CD Autumn's Soul '17. If you click on the picture there are notes I've included which you may find interesting about "The 40 Steps"....something to see and experience if you ever travel to Rhode Island and visit Newport. It's a special place.

Hope you enjoy.....thanks,
Fred

Very beautiful, Fred! And I love that photo and the image of those steps and your playing there at sunrise for a wedding. The composition sure sounds like all that and more!

Just what I needed this morning. Good stuff Fred, do you have any of your tunes online for sale or any CDs?

Thank you so much, Glenn!
Yes, it was a really nice experience playing at the base of those steps at sunrise. Only a few guests at the wedding and they stood on the stairs to witness the ceremony and the wedding couple were at the base. I was tucked away into the left side of the stairs. I played through a little Roland Cube amp(battery operated), and a gentle morning onshore breeze carried the sounds up the stairs so all could hear. Phew!!! You never know!!! All seemed to enjoy the moment and I was glad to lend a hand for a good friend. Magical!
Thanks again!

Very nice, Fred, and a nice story as well.

I recognize the spot, I have been there several times (but not that early

)

That was lovely. I always love transitions, the change ups. Nicely done.

Newport is great, but I actually prefer your island, Fred, ...spent many a beautiful day in Dutch Island Harbor

A man after my own heart!!!!

We promise to never take this island for granted each and every day. You arrived here by boat, I presume? Sail, power? Perhaps camping at Fort Getty?

Sounds good. Mystical. Thanks for sharing.

That's good Fred, you live in special place. We sail out of Old Saybrook and enjoy your local waters very much. Only another few months

That was a special one Fred, nice job.

Hi Bob....great to know that! I operate one of the launches out of East Ferry/Conancicut Marine each season........come say "hi" if you find yourself on the that side!!
