This is another collaborative effort with my good friend Jonathan Nicholson this was title track from our First Cd Mornings Promise from our acoustic duet the Rising Tide this song has an interesting open tuning FACGAC capo at the first fret the tuning was one that Jonathan came up it some one out there some may be using this same tuning but I have never been able to find when I searched open tunings all that said this is about the blessing of another day I typically am an early riser its a blessing to drink my coffee and watch the sunrise with all it vivid colors as I get older I appreciate the little things in life and never take any thing for granted Yesterday is history Tomorrow is a mystery and Today is a gift that's why its called the present I read that some where once upon a time hope you enjoy the music kind regards to all.

Thank You so much Regina, Farrell, Waveman and Tony. I have to say and I was little afraid of posting this song up that it might mislead every body this is duet Not just my self but also Jonathan Nicholson who is an amazing acoustic artist so all these songs played on the guitar and recorded was not over dubbed there were 2 guitar parts I had been a solo acoustic player for many years as well as Jonathan we wanted to create music that the whole of the sum was greater then its parts and I think we accomplished what we set out to do The Rising Tide was an amazing four year ride a partnership that defined us both as guitar players and song writers Jonathan Nicholson is more of a brother to me than he is a friend in my heart he is family a brother from another mother in 40 years of playing I have never had such an amazing working relationship with another musician everything that you would hear is 100% co written from intro to outro and everything in between Consequently Jonathan has a page on Mixposure with some of his solo acoustic work you can listen to it all though he has not been active on
Mixposure for quite a while I think it still qualifies as a collaboration with another artist on Mixposure there is another song I posted up couple days back called From The Top same scenario its me and Jonathan all that said thanks for the awesome reviews and taking a moment and lending an ear to what we created kind regards to all.

same story here when I get up north to the cottage and enjoy the morning tea on the porch, the silence out of the city always makes me feel this way. I like how the strings catch that little acoustic run down, wonderful and calmly played tune.

I have been playing guitar for about 40 years both acoustic and electric played in various bands through the years. I have had the opportunity to open for some acts like Fog hat, Night Ranger. I did a 10 years stent in the Air force around 1990 I tried out for the base talent contest and much to my surprise 1st in solo instrumental and best of show I ended up going all the way to Air Force world wide competition all be it I did not place in the finals or get picked for Tops In Blue it was an honor to have made it that far I guess out of 9000 people that try out only 600 or so make all the way to command level so I was fortunate at any rate. in 2003 I started to get more serious about my acoustic playing started writing music for an instrumental CD The cool beyond I released in 2004 locally and a second release in 2008 Staying The Course I had a small following but genuine and they had poked and prodded me to press on In. 2013 I had combined forces with another local solo acoustic artist here in the Spokane area Jonathan Nicholson and formed the acoustic duet .The Rising Tide we cowrote 2 CD,s Mornings Promise released in 2015 and the other The Theory Of So Called Kings in 2016 we performed around Washington state for three years and had a blast but with some life changes Me and Jonathan decided to disbanded the Rising Tide in the fall of 2016. I had been chasing this dream to play music professionally for so many years but never got far I became burned out and disillusioned with the the guitar and the music scene and just walked away from guitar and playing all together. I joined up with Mixposure back 2008 but had not been active for many years till recently with some encouragement of a friend from this site maybe it was time to start playing again so that said going forward no more cd's no more gigs I am just doing this for fun as I get my chops back might be interested in doing some collaboration in the future with some of the amazing artist on this music site. Coming back to Mixposure is like coming home after being away for away for a long time I used to call it my Mixfamily. Thanks Todd and all the staff and DJ,s for keeping the faith and this music site alive all these years. So there you have it folks you got my life story and a testimonial (-; Its good to back with Mixposure looking forward to the future.
