So you stopped coming round
Your heart buried in the ground
It's a shock, it's a scene
You never say what you mean
Emotional landmines
You can see the stop signs
But you're not slowing down
One foot on the trip line
And the words fly…
How you gonna sleep when you're never sound?
How you gonna keep you fever down?
Your an eyeful
How you gonna walk when you never run?
Chip off the block your father's son
You're an eye sore
And I wonder if I'll bend under
The weight of…

Last night I dreamed I was a dancer
In an old off Broadway show
And I danced with the girls in balcony
And I sang to the mezzanine row
It was Tin Pan Alley and Salvador Dali
At the curtain the crowd leapt to their feet
And I bowed and I…

From the first second of this song I was digging it. I love the instrumentation, the arrangement, the style -- very tasteful indeed! Great job -- Rock on!

i heard this before when you posted it on FB, but it's amazing how much i love your music for a style that is not one i would ever listen to. when you're rocking it's rocking and when you shift gears like this one, it's haunting and true. keep on making music like this man, if were up to me, you'd be a rockstar on a million dollar deal playing this for the whole world to hear.

1st of 10 "Off the cuff" songs I wrote just before the great flood.
I haven't really had a chance to work on any but this one. This is different than the rest of them. All I did was turn on a drum machine and played and sang what ever popped into…
Cover of the Blondie song, from the Plastic Letters album, vocal inspired by Sonic Youth's version of the Carpenters Superstar off of Juno soundtrack. This mixdown made on 7th March 2011, tracks recorded late Feb / early March.
Cover of the Joy Division classic, with a little drum'n'bass thrown into the mix
This version from September 2010
The youtube version is my original recording going back to 1997.
This is just another middle of the road pile of trot, this time about the amazing instant classics I write, but am so protective of that I daren't let any of you hear. No one will ever hear them. Sorry, but I'm afraid this shite will just have…

Taking taking all her money
Taking taking all her sweat
Taking taking all her money
Taking taking all her tears
What do you give back? (shark attack)
Taking taking all her love
Taking taking all her life
Taking taking all her love

Day 28
Anyone else still writing songs?
this is the result of trying to listen to too many mixes in one day. Sometimes it's just easier to record something else.
incredible album gumbo..i'm going to download this to the ol'pod so i can listen to it in the car and at work...love it..reminds me of all my old folk/blues/bluegrass fav's like roscoe holcomb, bukka white, bill monroe, son house, dock boggs, blind willie mctell, tampa red, etc....great job
Final version
An unaccompanied song about bedtime. Not a lullaby though. Oh no!
What does anyone think of the 'cat's moustache' line - it seems like that's a make or break call right there and i like it when i read it but it's hard to sing without…
Final version
One of my heroes. Willie McTell was blind from birth and travelled all over the south in the thirties at a time when many people would never go more than 20 miles from their home.
Plus nobody sings the blues quite like him…
Final version
RPM 2011 - my first track recorded and the opening track for the CD
A kind of Old Time gospel number, which, if you listen to those pre-war guitar playing preachers, are virtually indistinguishable from blues. Except for the lyrics…
