Today will be a roadtrip to a little town known as El Cajon. That’s right boys and girls, homie is heading to the Taylor guitar factory. Gonna spend a little time down there to get some work done on the guitar and help my friend Femke with her newly gotten endorsement. So I won’t really be doing a random drive this week as this is replacing it. Besides, there’s the superbowl to consider as well. No I’m not a football nut, but it’s always fun to get together with friends to eat, drink, and watch the festivities.
Since I’m heading to my mecca of acoustic guitars, I have to pull up an acoustic tune. Preston Reed comes to mind for his acoustic brilliance. Does he play a Taylor? I don’t know, if not, he should be. 
I’ve featured Preston here before. With a much more uptempo number. This one is a bit more mellow, but because there isn’t a major rush today with this trip, it’s more for fun, I’d rather feel mellow about it.
There’s a great vibe going on here with the melody and how it works over his note choices. It almost sounds like it could be a baritone guitar with that extra low string and how it’s tuned. Though I’m pretty sure it’s only an alternate tuning.
It’s a sexy tune isn’t it? Probably why he named it Mermaid Eyes. ‘Cause mermaids are supposed to be dangerously beautiful right?
Go get Preston. Do it now!

Inspired by great music and randomly spewed words, it makes for a fun way to learn about new music doesn't it? There is no money that can get you on to the site.
Very cool tune – the kind you feel like hearing while you’re sipping a glass of wine near a fireplace on a cold winter day. Definitely has some JT aspect to it. It’s one thing to strum an acoustic guitar in the background of a rock song, but it’s quite another to hear something clear and pristine like this. Nice work.
