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…
(Remastered 22/10/2021)
So I got me a new geetar the other week.
Named her Lala, obviously. Seemed kind of appropriate - she wears a faded gold dress and is full of chunes and mischiefs.
This is our first effort together. It was meant…
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…

So I was locked in the broom-cupboard, checking out some old songs that need recording.
I'd just picked one and then suddenly this thing came out of nowehere. It started with one of those guitarist doodles that other musicians love so much…

I wasn't even sure the recording machine was still going to work after nearly five years... Certainly, bits of me don't work anymore... But, surprisingly, I got this done in 24 hours, start to finish... Strange old world…
Hello peeps!

Lovely to hear your wonderful voice here again. Love this spare arrangement. Great sentiment in your lyrics. Life’s a journey indeed! I hope life is treating you well.

And here we go - Edith FINALLY gets it...
Actually, she's been getting it ever since I wrote it on the 29th May. I thought it would take a week or so, but it proved to be more of a fight than I was expecting.

Lyrics
Throw another log on the fire.
Let it Burn for one more day..
Take another chance on this Dice.
Throw it until luck comes our way.
Promise…
I got me a new Cajon.
This is the first time recorded it (or played it for more than 30 seconds to be honest. My son keeps telling me to be quiet, then jumps on to it himself... ).
Thank you G man for Playing guitar on this. Luv ya bro…
This is me live....
No frills....
I Play a classical because my fingers are too big... Lol!!
Sorry if it is a bit rough...

Do you know T? I think this is the first live recording of yours I've ever listened to.
You cut it live just as well. Great song too.
lol at the compere at the end - "get off you f*cker there's more important folks here... can you wipe the mic down boys?"
It's years since I've done it, but I remembers :-)
Nine cans of Guinness....
One beaten up old Guitar.....

Lyrics
Take the lift and your half way up....
Reach the top and your half way up...
You didn’t see your rise, and Lost your way.....
Looking down on the world your tears fall...
You Missed the Beauty of the climb.
And now you’re…
This Track is Part of an Anti Gang/knife Crime initiative that is running in an East London School.
The Pupils will make tracks Similar to this during the course, to try and send a message out..
To stop Youth Violence......
Wish us luck

An unusual traditional tune from the first Scartaglen album way back in 1984. Going through stuff the other day and ran across the LP and couldn't even remember the tune or having recorded it. I played guitar on this track
Did the world really need a cheesy, spaghetti western version of this classic Eagles song? I'm not sure. Did I make one anyway? Yes. Yes, I did. By the way the painting is "Villa Diablo" by Downe Burns.

Brilliant!
We definitely needed this version.
I suspect that even Ian Anderson would like this take on the chords he "lent" them Eagles chappies... lol
Faved, no problem :-)
This started up while I was commenting something else... initially I was going to stop it, but something dragged me in... I was over halfway through before I realised I'd stopped typing!
Nice one, well worth a listen... it kept my attention all the way.
(I do hope I actually pressed send on the other comment - I keep forgetting to when this happens!)
Vocals: Rebecca Riss
Lyrics: Donna Devine
Drums & Horns: Ian Burrage
Bass: Andy Gupta
Piano: Steffen Offermann
Guitars: Mike Woodford
Composed, arranged & mixed by Steffen Offermann
I think this was the first song that Donna and I collaborated…
Like it. I think you're right on the mix though. I'm guessing you're quite attached to the sound of the band, but could seat the vocal a lot better now.
Some stunning - and extremely musical - guitar work on this one, like it.
I often get bored with guitar instrumentals like this - NOT THIS ONE
Yeah, pretty dang cool... good stuff :-)
This is an older song and hey, you'll finally get to hear me sing badly! This was under my old name Piscean Dream so I couple of you may or may not have heard this before. Thanks for listening!
I thought I'd commented this (and others)... I'm obviously not awake yet !
Really glad you've joined up, loving your stuff.
Are those real drums? You play drums as well??!!
A loose variation of theme from movie "Ip Man" originally composed by Kenji Kawai. Modestly performed by JC Prophets band.

Cover of the theme from the popular BBC television series. Recorded on Boss BR-864 December 18, 2008. All instruments and drum programming by 64Guitars.
I'm not superstitious, but ... I did not want to end the day with 13 uploaded songs. :D
Here is another old one. Not mixed as good as I think I could do it now, but it could be much worse. ;)

Could definitely hear a soul searing electric blues solo over that, or even an organ solo. nice subtle touch with that low organ in there.
Glad you're digging into the archives. Good stuff.
'ello stranger, mind you, so am I now it seems, great to hear from you again, a touch of Roy Harper for me. Good Stuff.
Lovely to hear your wonderful voice here again. Love this spare arrangement. Great sentiment in your lyrics. Life’s a journey indeed! I hope life is treating you well.
Timeless! This needs to be re-activated.
FUCK! This rocks like a ton of granite. Long time since we exchanged comments. It's like old times.

Ah... glad this one is here :-)
I was sure I'd commented this one... anyway, back for another go. Love it.
Yo T :-) I remember you talking about the project, but I don't remember hearing this. Fantastic project, but a cool piece of music anyway.
This is mighty fine.

Oh yes, thanks for highlighting this, kirk... This is really good listening

Oh yeah, this is a bit special.
Love the feel of this. And yeah, there's nothing bad about the voice :-) Just keep using it...

Woo! Great voice, and I like where you go with your melodies.
Love it.
Among other things, your tracks are making me think of The Doors - no bad thing in my book. Like what you're doing.
Tom Baker for me! Hi there 64! Could've been a bit longer mebbe :-)
Ah! Another Tricia Dovidio vocal - yesss... Got any more? :-) Love the organ... but I'm a sucker for a hammondy tone
