I love when people in the audience sing along, so I play this, "Yellow Submarine", "Yesterday", "A Little Help From My Friends" and others which helps us interact nicely.
Filmed live at a Giulianova Groceria in Westminster, Maryland, 1/26/2019.
My "All The Beatles You Can Eat" show.
BIG Thanks to owner/chef Billy Schroeder for the great Brit fare and happy atmosphere!
Another great singalong, as evidenced by the audience prompting ME to play it!!
Filmed live at a Giulianova Groceria in Westminster, Maryland, 1/26/2019.
My "All The Beatles You Can Eat" show.
After the show I received this from Mr. Schroeder: "Thank you Paul!
What a pleasure and honor to have you on my stage. We will have another performance before you go back to the land of Lake George!!!!"
*Note: I purchased this PRS at Bill's Music in Catonsville, MD from Mick. (No worries - Les lives!)
My insane arrangement of the McCartney classic, from my CD "Beatles Plus", which I sell only at my shows. Filmed live at a Giulianova Groceria in Westminster, Maryland, 1/26/2019.
My "All The Beatles You Can Eat" show.
*PS: The PRS is a Mark Holcomb, in case that interests you. I just bought it because it had killer intonation.
Another good singalong like "Yellow Submarine", "Yesterday", etc.
Filmed live at a Giulianova Groceria in Westminster, Maryland, 1/26/2019.
My "All The Beatles You Can Eat" show, again with thanks to owner/chef Billy Schroeder, loved by millions of hungry people everywhere!
I play medleys:
1) so people won't have to clap all the time
2) because chords or rhythms coincide
3) for clever reasons of my own
In this case, Alan Parsons recorded the Beatles and also Floyd and also his own material. "Us and Them' is very similar to "Time" and both are in the same tempo as my "Strawberry Lucy" medley. There it is.
Me doing the McCartney classic, from my CD "Beatles Plus", which I sell only at my shows.
The song McCartney dreamed and called "Scrambled Eggs" before having a title. *When accounting for reported plays and adding up that time, the song has lived longer that it has existed in real life!
As usual, I created my own arrangement with some very cool chords in the second bridge and also the very end. Will that make your cash register ring? Can't say. Will musicians salivate? Definately. Yes. Uh huh.
Me doing the McCartney classic, from my CD "Beatles Plus", which I sell only at my shows. Filmed live at a music store in Westminster, Maryland, 4/2018.
My "Concerto for Guitar and Human" show.
Me doing the Judy Garland classic, with my own twists and turns, during my "Concerto for Guitar and Human" show, (which was actually a clinic for my guitar instruction manual "The Guitar Explained",) in Westminster, MD. 4/2018
Me doing the Beatles classic, from my CD "Beatles Plus". This show was in an old restored Opera house where my aunt, Cosma Vullo (who sang for the Metrpolitan Opera in NYC in the 20's) performed!
This was performed at a Buddhist KaiKan, (temple) and is a requiem I wrote for world-famous Flamenco dancer Pascual Olivera.

The "Pascual Lives Suite" is all three of the pieces I wrote to commemorate Pascual Olivera, not widely known to Americans but who was an internationally known Flamenco dancer who I knew, who passed away from the big C in 2002. I wrote this to help his wife with her grief.
I play this live at my shows.
Larry Coryell is featured in the middle duet section.

This was my first true solo concert and I was ... how you say ... scared silly.
Sadly, the kid I paid $200.00 to, to record the event forgot to hit "play" on the audio recorder so what we have left is audio from the camera. Sigh.
But it isn't hard to hear that I can play the crap out of a guitar, especially if you stay with it to around the 7 minute mark when I beg the audience's indulgence to show off for a bit. I don't need to play with my teeth or set the guitar on fire, I do it with my hands.
More Beatles craziness. No bass, drums, tracks, about 65 people in the audience. I sold 8 guitar books and 3 art of pencil books. Oh and about 14 cd's.
The applause is real, no trickery!
Larry Coryell (the "Godfather of Fusion") plays the acoustic guitar to the left side of the mix, Tracey sings (and composed the tune) and I play everything else in addition to engineering, assembling and final production.

This is a sample of my work for PBS.
This is done entirely on an Ensoniq ASR-10. I love sequencers and samplers - if you can hear it, you can record it.
There are many examples on the above youtube link.
Me playing an original tune live with a track minus the lead line. It was 48 degrees that day, back in 2004, VERY unusual for Florida ! I STILL ripped it up!
Pay attention @ 1:00 - 1:07 where I play the most ridiculous scale ever, and I made it up on the spot (like all my solos) ... and the very end where I play about 40 notes with one hand ain't too bad neither!
I did this little picture that went viral and is now in hoax museums in Italy and the Netherlands and also on many hoax sites like www.Snopes.com
Here's the story!
I was in this band as the bassist - while playing all my parts through an octaver on my same Les Paul!
This was at a Vietnam Vets Moving Wall performance in Melbourne, Florida about 2009.
