ASH SOULAR, female guitarist, solos to Samba Pa Ti

Ash Soular plays a little piece from Eric Johnson's Cliffs of Dover.

As a tribute to Michael Jackson, I have covered my favorite of his songs. I couldn't sleep a few nights back, it was around midnight and I was still in shock from hearing about Michael Jackson's sudden death. He was a big inspiration to me growing up. I was playing my guitar and I started playing this riff. Out of nowhere I just started singing the Billie Jean lyrics to it. I really wanted to somehow send my respect to all of you who are also saddened by the great loss of this musical master who changed music forever. We will miss you Michael Jackson. And that is why I wanted to make and share my version of "Billie Jean".

Ash Soular, female guitarist, plays a Hendrix style tribute those who lost their lives on 9/11.

(For the Record: I did NOT in any way authorize Rapper Lowkey or his producers to use a sample from this copyrighted song. They are misusing my copyright without permission. I am not in any way involved with or receiving any money or even credit from their unauthorized use of my song.) I'm grateful to have the right to be outspoken. I wanted to express how I felt about this past election, but I'm not very good at writing political blogs or particularly fond of debating. So I figured, how better to express my opinion than to write a song. ** To elaborate: This song is about how we've forgotten the importance of our leaders' character. The expression, "Obamanation", (a play on words, yes) is also meant to symbolize a reality where people vote for politicians based upon charisma, instead of the content of their character. It's describing a situation where we are blinded by those whose main goal is to spend more of our tax money while ignoring our values. It reminds us that the change THEY want may not be the change that YOU want. Let them know whose change matters. **
