The Legend of Arthur by John McLaughlin published on 2010-02-03T21:45:32Z This was the first track recorded on Sunday 24th January 2010 with my new Merlin guitar. It is basically a series of looped swell chords with a first-take improvised melody / solo. Genre Somekindajazz Comment by Elzie B Hickerson I haved loved your music since hearing you the first time on the MIDNIGHT SPECIAL in the 70’s.

This was the first track I recorded with my Harrison Custom Merlin guitar abck in 2010. It was also the first track I posted on SoundCloud in January 2010. It was a quick improvisation to try out the different combination of pick-up tones. 2016-11-29T22:46:42Z Comment by David Sinvergüenza I can not move my fingers so fast, not even just drumming on the table...

I am never sure whether my name is a help or a hindrance, but it does seem to get a few folk listening, even if it is under the misconception that I am the other fellow. 2011-11-17T12:05:24Z Comment by KULTUR SMOG Cheers John.
