This one's a bit of a ponderous beastie.
It can be whatever you want it to be. For me, it's got a lot to do with Sunday 18th June 1815.

Did this one sometime in 2009 on a Boss MBR. I'd recently joined what became Songcrafters.org and PJ (Wiley) posted a bass/drum track for us ubiquitous blues guitarists to solo over.
I decided to go a different route…
Here's a new one. Well, a new old one, actually... And a bit different than the last one!
Something old, something new, something borrowed, and, er, something blue...

I struggled to get this thing completed. I've been sat on it for weeks, finished, debating whether I was really prepared to let it go.
I loved the song when I wrote it, inspired by a wonderful week at the end of September. But the recording…
I love the chord move you do at the end of line three in the verse. The lyric grabs me from, That she hopes will be the very one
That you decide to wear." Because of you voice you use and the sounds it says the object of their desire/affections is David Bowie.My favorite line, among many is, And Blazey’s left her homework on the train." And, It’s never crossed their minds that you might fail."

Well, I'm almost on a roll now - this little love song was written, arranged, and recorded in just a week. I've been meaning to attempt something like this for years, just never got round to it.
I'd actually settled down to finally record a…
New original from me, hot off the old wotsit.
When it was half written yesterday, I was considering binning it as a throwaway exercise - I do that quite often. But I played the songwriting demo to someone else and, er, apparently I should finish…
New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…
This song's going on 32 years old...
Some 12 years older than I was when I wrote it!!
I borrowed the title from one of my favourite madrigals, The Silver Swan by Orlando Gibbons:

Keyboard and Electric Bass Guitar by Otis Maly, Percussion by Matt Santana
One of three tracks that my friend Otis jammed on during February 2012. This is the first mixdown I've done since he laid down the keys back in mid-February of 2012…
Apparently I'm a recent listener to this - I don't remember!!
I'm sure I would've remembered this. Lovely sound. Those keys are fabulous. I just shut my eyes and let it roll.
I love how he was so into it that he kept playing bass and keys even after the track had finished. And a cool touch to leave it on.
Nice work guys.
Once upon a life
By OsCKilO
Once
Upon a life
Do we find
A happy ending
More
Are the times
That we try
To race from the line
Slow down Laddy
Wont you go a little bit Slow
So Daddy can
catch up
Hey there Laddy
I could run fast in my day
And…
Lyrics:
After the Sun goes down
Lay in bed no sleep to be found
And the shadows dance on walls
After the Sun goes down
Just a reflecting time
The clock just seems to unwind
The silence gets so loud
Just a reflecting time
It won…
Back for another listen. I went to bed buzzing last night because of this. Over breakfast, the missus had to put up with me explaining and miming the virtues of this performance... (poor girl)
That entry at 1:19 - crumbs. And 3:38 til the end... And the end itself... It sounds so "live" that I'm expecting crowd noises!
Woof! Lovely.
When you want to do it, you've got the "expressive Hendrix" thing completely and utterly pegged - how to play it and how to record it - I'm in awe.
I know guitarists - and you probably do too - who'll sit around saying "oh so-and-so just copies Jimi/SRV/whoever" ... don't ever listen to them - they're just jealous lol. They bought the right gear, the pedals, whatever, and they still can't make the sound...
You've got it in the fingers/brain/soul, and I find it a joy to listen to.
Magnificent stuff.
I saw the title and I thought "I know a girl like that..." we have a wine rack with a lot of bottles beside it waiting for a space lol
So glad I liked the track as well!
Yeah...
I wanna get one of my strats out - but it's past my bedtime... (it's certainly past the neighbour's bedtime anyway lol).
Loved it.
I'll be back for more :-)
At first I thought "he's uploaded, er, a recording of Jimi"! lol
Brilliant, captured the feel of the riff, the way he double-tracked parts, the whole thing...
Loved it.
Using a drum track laid down by a fellow collab artist up in alaska [Rata_tat_tat], I put down some silly wierdness today whilst enjoying the nice coldness of a few of Miller's finest... Ha

LG on Bass

Still love this tune...
great vocals....amazing pipes you've got there!
Excellent song. Well written and performed Andrew. Reminiscent of early Bowie for me, but unique and stylish in it's own right.
brilliant, love the guitar work !!!
wow, cool !
Nice work. Many of us would like to be able to play and sing as well as you, I'm betting.
Love it. Well played and very ZZ. Keep on rocking!
You like that girl, I like this song :-)
really good !
Takes me back to the days of great 70's era rock. Tops!!!!!
Missed this one. Nice breakdown section....sounds like red SG doodling :)
It's great the way you play different styles. Keep on rocking.
Brilliant. Love the atmosphere...
My condolences ...

That's a MIGHTY bass sound. A fine set of new songs.
Yep :-)
I love the riff in the middle. Ah, it comes back at the end :-)
That was a surprise, for two reasons: 1) I came in expecting some rocking. 2) I really liked it! Nice one

Back for another listen. I was wondering whether the shine would have worn off after a few days... NAH! It's still wonderful :-)
Mighty fine song. I like how you've controlled all those guitar parts to make a smooth rolling track. And like B sez - that whistle is gorgeous.
Like it. No, that's wrong... Second listen, I love it. Gorgeous guitar sounds.
OK... I've got to dust my strats off now (I've been enticed away by a cute 335 recently).

Loving your stuff - fantastic guitars on this one. So much expression in the lead.
Huge sound! Loved it.

I kinda like how the extra sounds, the rain etc, are louder than the performance itself. It really works like this.
Oh yeah, this was one kind of goes off on it's own. Some fine playing on here.
