Alexander "Sandy" Bull (February 25, 1941 – April 11, 2001) was an American folk musician and composer. Bull was an accomplished player of many stringed instruments, including guitar, pedal steel guitar, banjo, and oud. His early work blends non-western instruments with 1960s folk revival, and has been cited as important in the development of psychedelic music.
His albums often presented an eclectic repertoire including extended modal improvisations on oud. An arrangement of Carl Orff's composition Carmina Burana for 5-string banjo appears on his first album and other musical fusions include his adaptation of Luiz Bonfá's "Manhã de Carnaval", a lengthy variation on "Memphis Tennessee" by Chuck Berry, and compositions derived from works of J. S. Bach and Roebuck Staples.

Sandy Bull - Blend Part One
The first half of Bull's remarkable 20 minute long guitar improvisation. One of my favourite tracks ever recorded, this was the first track on Bull's 1963 debut record "Fantasias for Guitar and Banjo." Bull's collaboration with drummer Billy Higgins is one of the most memorable works for the guitar that I've ever heard.

Saturday sweet Or was it Sunday Blue? We scattered seeds And the day grew Throwing caution to the wind And danger dances on the land's end Tripping over air No one ever really goes there Dancing on the breeze No one ever really sees me Saturday slow And then Sunday flew Another night without you You walked away And the world shut down It's hard to dance When you're not around Tripping over air No one ever really goes there Dancing on the breeze No one ever really sees me I wonder if I walked with you You'd take a few steps too Or would you walk away from me? We always disagree Saturday sweet or was it Sunday Blue We scattered seeds and the day grew Throwing caution to the wind And danger dances on the land's end Tripping over air No one ever really goes there Dancing on the breeze No one ever really sees me I wonder if I walked with you You'd take a few steps too Or would you walk away from me We always disagree The days go by And I dream of a time when the poems rhymed And the night's are so long
