Redneck Revelry - - Dont Tread On Me - - Mud N Suds Matthew Greenwood 2024-01-01 | MUSIC & LYRICS BY: Matthew Greenwood cafepress.com/redneckrevelry - - Redneck Revelry Merchandiseredneckrevelry@gmail.comRedneck Revelry, the song, was written as a tribute to the enduring spirit, individuality, creativity and resourcefulness of the great All American Redneck. Anyone can be a 'Redneck', as it is more about a state-of-mind than a physical attribute. The engineering marvels, that are Monster Mud Trucks, along with their smaller UTV & ATV counterparts, all revel in the conquering and taming of almost impossibly soggy terrain, and traversing swamps and mud-bogs just because they are there. And when that's all taken care of, park along the edge of the swamp to chill & swill. It's all about camaraderie and revelry whether your from the 'burbs, the hood or the holler. Just don't expect to stay clean! This unique gathering and bonding of fellow mud-sloggers is not an official 'sport', or a 'sanctioned' activity, and thus is 'un-corporatized' and still undefined as anything other than a group of Redneck Revelers, reveling in the 'slingin' mud & swillin' suds and hangin' with your buds. REDNECK REVELRY LYRICS: by Matthew GreenwoodWe drive trucks that are jacked to the moonwhen they see us coming, they shiver & they swoonwe like Slingin' mud & Swillin' Suds and hangin', bangin' ...wranglin' with our budsWe've twisted cranks and broke the bankcussed and hollered about all the dollarsjust to keep these beasts on the runthey're temperamental giants, upon whom we're not reliantFor Sunday, Monday, Tuesday grocery runsBoggin' holes and Jelly Rolls, as far as the eyes can seeSome folks say we're crazy, and that very well may beBut if you take a good hard look, it's easy to seeWe're just havin' fun & gettin' 'er doneIt's called Redneck RevelryRedneck Revelers, wild and freeSome folks say we're crazy, and that very well may beBut slingin' mud and swillin' sudsand smoozin' with the crowdWe're just hangin' out and gettin' loudJust Redneck ...

Good Time Feeling - Shake It Loose, Spread The News [Premiere Music Video] Matthew Greenwood 2022-03-03 | A Song with flavors of Mardi Gras, Country Gospel & Blues. Revisiting a wonderful song from the past. Dickey Betts wrote this song 'Good Time Feeling' and recorded & released it in 1978. The song immediately became a favorite of mine. For many years our band opened every show we played with this song. It seemed to be a great tune for the band to get in the groove on (Greasing The Tracks), and to set a good vibe for the evenings show. Songs tend to evolve over time, and this version is the result of years of tweaking and trying different things. When I started thinking about recording a new version of this song, I had in mind giving it a Southern Gospel feel. Good Time Feeling seemed to fall into that Gospel feel quite easily. The horn section adds to that Gospel/Mardi Gras feel that we were going for. Many thanks to all the talented musicians who participated in the making of this recording. A special thanks to Jeff 'Doc' Thal, who not only played the drums and percussion on this recording, but also did executed all of the engineering/mixing of the numerous tracks that were recorded. This recording is dedicated to the memory of two of our recently departed friends, John Henry & Wayne Jones. John Henry was a very talented drummer and vocalist with whom I played thousands of gigs with, in our band 'The Hurricanes' over an almost 20 year period. John and I truly became like brothers, having spent so much time together making our music. John left us on February 21st 2020 at the age of 66. Wayne Jones was a long-time friend, both as an enthusiastic supporter of our live music, but also as one of our 'Band of Brothers' from our Camping Tribe at the ever-popular 12 Hours of Sebring Race in Sebring, FL. Wayne was co-founder of the 'Sarasota Racing & Drinking Enthusiasts' association (SRDE) and had camped trackside at the the Sebring Track for 50 years, enjoying European Style SportsCar Racing and the fine art of 'round-the-clock revelry'. Wayne had recently been honored in the official 2020 Sebring Raceway Program as the 'Fan Of The Year' recipient. Wayne was thrilled to receive this very notable award, as were all of us in the LaBomba/SRDE camps. Wayne lost a lengthy battle with a respiratory disease on May 07th 2021 at the age of 63.
Wayne Jones & Friends @ the 12 Hours of Sebring Matthew Greenwood 2021-12-28 | We lost our dear friend Wayne Jones this past year from a respiratory illness . Wayne had been with us for over 50 years at the 12 Hours of Sebring. He was recognized in the official 12 Hours of Sebring Program as the 'Fan Of The Year' in 2020. Wayne was a beloved Husband, Father, Brother and Friend to all who shared our lives with his.
ALLMAN BROTHERS TRIBUTE : In Memory of Duane & Gregg Allman : A Brothers Dream [SkyDog & BayBro] Matthew Greenwood 2021-03-26 | ‘A Brother’s Dream’ is an instrumental song that was composed in memory of brothers Duane & Gregg Allman. There are both direct and referenced musical motifs from the recording careers of brothers Duane & Gregg Allman, dating back to 1969. This song is intended to honor the brother’s incredible contributions to the musical world and to the enduring legacy that they helped put into motion. This song is in memory of Duane & Gregg Allman, but also by extension, a tribute to the entire Allman Brothers Band Family. I was fourteen years old in 1969. I’ll never forget the day that we were hanging out in the old Siesta Key Village when someone started talking about this new band that had just released their first album, and that the band had ties to our town of Sarasota, FL. We went over to someone’s house that had the album, self-titled, The Allman Brothers Band, and I was captivated immediately. It was a sound that I had never heard, and I was instantly hooked. I was fortunate enough to hear them couple of times in Sarasota, in 69 & 70, once at Robarts Sports Arena, and once at The Municipal Auditorium where BB King opened for the Brothers. The energy and power these guys were able to generate was otherworldly. I believe that there are at least 10 vignettes or motifs referenced in this song. One of the riffs pre-dates the ABB era. Duane Allman has always been one of my top tier guitar heroes, and his brother, Gregg Allman an equal inspiration for his expressive song writing, and for his mirror-to-the-soul vocals. I never knew Duane Allman personally, but through his music, and everything that I have read about him, he was an intense, and intensely passionate and happy, man. He lived life with extreme gusto and verve, and with a ‘devil-may-care’ attitude. It was his vision, his dream, to create the band that became the Allman Brothers Band, and with this song ‘A Brother’s Dream’, I hope to capture a little of that effervescent spirit and indomitable energy that was Duane Allman. If inspired to do so, please consider giving a donation to the Big House Museum to help keep that unique shrine to the original Allman Brothers Band alive for generations to come. thebighousemuseum.com/donate A special thanks to all who participated in this project with me, including Mike Kach, Gregg Voorhees, Jeff Thal, Bruce Glasberg, Kevin Celebi, and Eddie Kinder. Also, many thanks and much appreciation to Caitlyn Woods for her beautiful interpretive hula-hoop performance to ‘A Brother’s Dream’ and for her help with the video production.

The Stand Off Matthew Greenwood 2019-12-14 | This is a tag to my other video of this same squirrel coming into our home to help himself to nuts from the nut-bowl. This time, however, the Rottweiler decides to let the squirrel know who is the alpha in the equation. Moments after this 'standoff' the squirrel was right back in the nut-bowl. Funny animal behaviors!

Statesboro Blues - Clams & Gaffs Special! - Jam along with Backing Track Matthew Greenwood 2019-09-07 | Broke out the old Les Paul after playing Strats the past few years. Two completely different instruments. I'm record this again soon when I can clean up the mistakes and phrasing...and figure out why my iphone lens is so darned dirty.
Trouble No More - Allman Brothers Band Version - Backing Track Jam Matthew Greenwood 2019-09-04 | The only backing track that I could find for this song. A little cheesy, but charting my progress with this song. The phrasing has been tough for me. Still actively a work in progress, and at least I'm aware of the bits and pieces that still need work. Absolutely love this song. Not sure what happened with the film quality, but this is filmed with my iphone. This was the very first song that Gregg Allman sang with the band when he joined the rest of the members in 1969, and the final, farewell song at the ABB's final show before calling it quits. So inspiring to listen to their treatment of these classic, sacred, blues songs. They always did them justice.
Roland Blues Cube Hot Demo - First Impressions - New Amp! Matthew Greenwood 2018-08-24 | A quick, bit rough, demo from a giddy newbie to the Roland Blues Cube amp series. ( Recorded with no pedals, plugged straight from guitar into amp. )This is the Roland Blues Cube Hot, with 30W max, but a power selector switch for 0.5W, 5W, 10W & 30W. I always have been a tube amp guy, and for all the obvious reasons. But, I wanted to check out something small, easy to transport, and something still gig worthy. I was especially wanting something that would work well with my Slide Guitar tone. I needed that sustaining overdrive for slide work, but I didn't want to have to use a bunch of gain to get there, and loose the bite and articulation in the process. This amp has an inspiring clear overdrive that provides lots of sustain, but without sounding over-compressed or harsh. It's a good thing when you plug into an amp and like it immediately, and that was the case with this Roland Blues Cube Hot. These Roland Blues Cube Hot amps are certainly worth checking out. This recording was done by playing a YouTube backing track video and playing along with it while recording using my iPhone 6 for the recording device. That's all we've got!
2018 12 Hours of Sebring - Sights & Sounds from the Green Park & Beyond! Matthew Greenwood 2018-03-22 | Next Race On IMSA Schedule: Sahlen's Six Hours of The GlenWatkins Glen, NY - Jun 28 to Jul 01Track: Watkins Glen InternationalRace Duration: 6 hoursCircuit Length: 3.4 miles (Important Video Disclaimer: Scroll To Bottom) They are all special, and this one was no different. Great weather and superb racing. Many thanks to Wayne Estes for all the very noticeable and appreciated improvements he has made in his brief tenure as President & GM of Sebring International Raceway. Come on down if you haven't already been, it's better than ever! This video presentation is a perspective from the home of the Giant Race Car Float, otherwise known as La Bomba, or La Bomba Racing. Our camp is in Turn 11, where you will find La Bomba moored while not out cruising the circuit. The La Bomba Camp and the Sarasota Racing & Drinking Camp merged into one ginormous camp several years ago and camp-central is under the big Green & White striped canopy tent in Collier Curve. I am happy to have finally gotten some footage of our favorite traffic director from the Paddock Area. This gentleman is at the same intersection every year and performs his important duties with style and aplomb. WeatherTech has found a group of superb company representatives with the WeatherTech Girls. They are super friendly and fun and go out of their way to pose with/ and for everyone and anyone with beaming smiles and bright eyes. With their wholesome good looks they always draw plenty of attention. A special 'tour of Green Park & Beyond' cruise aboard La Bomba - La Bomba Racing - was arranged for a group of people representing Michelin Tire. The Sebring Cows shuffled on-board at some point during the cruise adding to the frivolity. Michelin Tire will be the official tire of the 12 Hours of Sebring beginning next year. The weather at the 2018 12 Hours of Sebring was perfect this year. The overall race winner was the #22 Patron Tequila sponsored ESM Nissan, and included driver Pipo Derani who won the 12 Hours of Sebring for his second time in just three years.

Nutty Squirrel Matthew Greenwood 2018-03-14 | This has become a daily ritual. We feed the cats and here comes the squirrel to eat with them. You just never know!
Never Seen This Before! Squirrel & Cats Eating Together Matthew Greenwood 2018-02-11 | These are our two full-time outdoor cats who eat their meals on the front porch.

I've always thought that in the wild 'attitude' goes a long way, and this Squirrel certainly has plenty of that.We were absolutely gobsmacked when we first saw this. You figure the squirrel must have run some risk calculations, but then to put it into action. That's one alpha squirrel, or just plain nuts!

Sorry about the dirty fingernails, but it's good dirt from the vegetable garden. Memo to self: Fingernail brush before next video. Thanks for watching.

This final show was as much a tribute to George Generoso, the 5 O'Clock Club's owner, as it was a final mournful farewell to this beloved hangout. This video is part of the set from the Rock Soul Radio Band featuring Twinkle Yochim on vocals, Tony LeClerc on Bass Guitar & Vocals, Lenny Brooks on Guitar, and Benny Puckett on drums.

Fender Tone Master 4x12 Speaker Cabinet Modification - Open Top / Closed Bottom Matthew Greenwood 2016-03-30 | My first YouTube tutorial video. This may help someone contemplating the same procedure. The concepts and suggestions should apply basically to any speaker cabinet. Removable back panel cabinets would be even easy to work with. No guarantee that you'll be pleased with the final result, so always be sure this is what you want to do before butchering a perfectly good closed-back speaker cabinet. Please always be careful using power tools and always wear your safety equipment, i.e. eye, ear, & breathing protection. If you do not work with tools yourself, it should be easy enough to find a carpenter with the tools & skills to accomplish this for you. Mesa Boogie did/does offer a similar cabinet referred to as a half-back. Please leave comments & suggestions if you have them. Thanks for watching and hope this video was instructive.

Gerry Groom - Duane Allman Protégé - Electrifying Blues Guitarist Matthew Greenwood 2014-12-07 | Gerry Groom and the Village Idiots. A recording from 1988. Gerry Groom was living in Sarasota, FL at the time &handed me this 2 song cassette tape he had just finished recording. The songs are, Woke Up This Morning & Corrina, Corrina. Gerry was a Child Prodigy and protégé of Duane Allman. Duane had told Gerry that if anything ever happened to him, he wanted Gerry to have his Gibson SG that Duane did most, or all, of his open tuning slide work on. Gerry did have the guitar for many years, and played it out often much to everyone's delight. He eventually sold the guitar to Graham Nash. Gerry had offered to sell me the SG for 5K at a time when he was in a financial bind. I couldn't put my hands on that kind of money, and guitars weren't as insanely collectible as they were soon to become. In hindsight, duh, I should have figured out a way to come up with the cash. Gerry died untimely at a young age, (Feb. 11th 1992) from a Scuba Diving incident. I was fourteen years old and was at the ABB concert in Sarasota when Duane invited Gerry up on stage to sit in with the Brothers.JERRY ROSS INTERVIEW WITH GERRY GROOM:JR: Then what happened?GG: Well, Duane Allman and the Allman Brothers came to town. I was totally captivated by Duane and, like a bunch of other little kids, I hung around the stage and caught every show. I found out where he and the band were staying and I sneaked in and knocked on Duane’s door. Keep in mind that I’m around 16-17 years old at this time. Duane invited me in (I had my guitar in tow) and he asked me to play some with him. 5 minutes of so. He took an instant liking to me and called me “little brother.” He liked my playing so much that he asked me if I would come to their concert in Sarasota at Robert Arena the following week and get up onstage with them for a couple of tunes. I couldn’t believe it. Here I was being asked to play with Duane Allman . . . by Duane himself! JR: So here you are, 17 years old, playing with the Allmans. Did you play any other dates with them and how were you received by the rest of the band?GG: Well, I always felt that I didn’t belong with the band, although they all liked and accepted me. I think some of them resented Duane’s liking me so much and consequently I never would travel with them. Instead, I would hitchhike around the country and “just show up” at Kansas City, San Francisco, etc. Duane would know this and he would slip me a $100.00 here and there. I was in an unbelievable position being this close to Duane and I was in heaven. He was a tremendous person.JR: And then the tragic accident.GG: Absolutely. Very devastating. I had lost a real friend.JR: I guess the attitude of the band changed a little toward you after that.GG: Yes, somewhat. It was interesting because at Duane’s funeral they were going to bury his ’62 SG Les Paul with him. It was the guitar he used on “Statesboro Blues” and all of his great slide work, However Gregg remembered that Duane had told him that he wanted me to have this guitar if anything ever happened to him and I’ve had it ever since.JR: You are the owner of one of the most classic guitars in rock history?GG: Yes, and it is very rare because it is made out of one solid piece of wood (the neck and the body are one piece). The tone that this natural wood produces is unmistakable and almost impossible to copy through any amplifier setting. I use it quite a bit.JR: Can you tell me an interesting story about you and Duane?GG: Yeah. I was sitting with Duane in his hotel room in Jacksonville and we were joking around one night. The rest of the guys in the band were going out on the town and Duane and I were sitting in his room. This was right around the time when the Layla album was out and The Allman Brothers Band Live at the Fillmore East had just been recorded. Jokingly, I told Duane that he really needed to work on his slide playing. He looked at me straight-faced and said, “You know, little brother, you’re right,” and he got up, unplugged his electric guitar and went into the bathroom. He closed the door and stayed in there playing slide guitar by himself for the next five hours or so.JR: The burden and the debt to Duane must be tremendous.GG: It is, especially when I remember Duane introducing me to Eric Clapton as his hope for the future. Duane created in me a feeling of always giving it my best shot.JR: Any chance you would be a part of any Allman Brothers reunion to form a new band?GG: Yes, as long as the brotherhood aspect was sincere, as was Duane’s intention. I even remember that their music crates and cases used to have "The All Bros Band” printed on the side of them.

The Hurricanes Band Demo CD - 2002 - The Hurricane Band - Sarasota Matthew Greenwood 2014-01-23 | Just for fun. Was cleaning out the garage and found our old Hurricane Band demo CD that we recorded back in the year 2002. This version of the Hurricanes Band came together when Matt Peterson (drums) and Mike Hensley (keys) asked me to join them at Matt's house to jam some material just for fun. We'd been hanging out and playing for awhile, and things began to sound like we could maybe consider playing out. Matt P kept telling us about this lady who was his personal fitness trainer at the gym and that she told him she was a singer when he mentioned that he was involved in this jam thing. We knew we needed someone to front the band so we kept bugging Matt to ask his trainer to come by the house some night. It seems like it was forever before we made the connection, but man, when Gyll Perkins stepped in the practice room that first meeting we were immediately in awe of her statuesque and stunningly good looks. When she grabbed a mic and dug into a few R&B tunes, we knew we had hit pay dirt. We were so lucky to have found Gyll and we had a really great run with the band for the next several years and had tons of fun in the process. We were super green when we recorded this, but we had a ball doing some bar dates as well as some nice corporate events and private parties. The Hurricanes Band lineup on this Demo CD were:Matthew Greenwood - Guitars & VocalsMike Hensley - Keyboards & keyboard bassGyll Perkins - Vocals & PercussionMatthew Peterson - DrumLater on we added a bass guitar player, Greg Voorhees, who held that spot for about the final two years of the band.The songs on this CD are:01.
