Peghead Nation instructor Joe K. Walsh and guitarist Grant Gordy are longtime musical collaborators. They have recently marked 20 years of creating music together in configurations including their own duo, members of  Mr Sun (with Darol Anger and Adrian O’Donnell), and many other bands and projects. They were recently in the Peghead Nation studio shooting lessons for Joe’s new course Swing and Jazz Mandolin and during that shoot, they treated us to this take of ”Little White Lies,” written in 1930 by Walter Donaldson, and recorded by Ella Fitzgerald, Dick Haymes, and many others.
