Blues For Freida -Eric Skye
Here’s a blues/tone poem I wrote for my grandmother. https://youtu.be/ZmAaT_h1cnc She was an incredible woman that lived through both world wars, immigrated to the United States, and lived to be one hundred and three years old. When I was a kid she would come to California from the Midwest and stay with us for a few weeks at a time. She would seemingly spend the entire time in the backyard alone, quietly drinking tea, beautiful and content with the sun on her face for hours. I remember looking out my window at her when I practiced guitar. She was the Buddha, deep as the ocean.

This is my favorite on your new CD, Eric. First time I heard it I assumed it was an old standard, so kudos on the composition as well as the superb playing!

That's a good one, Eric. Not many people can hold my attention on instrumental guitar, but you're one of the few who do it consistently. Had to buy that one.

Thank you. I have listened and watched several times, and I appreciate your performance more each time. Your grandmother, who must have been a serene soul, shines on through your music.
