Jan 17 2015 - Remixed. I was always kinda disappointed with what the original mix sounded like. Listening to it the other day I realised what it is - I'd mixed the vocals too loud. This reduced the "stereo" and killed off a lot of the life…
A fantastic, brilliant, colorful, delicious, epic composition! This is one of those one-in-a-million exceptional bit of songwriting. I'm impressed. A lot of mojo happening here. Take a bow, cause I'm standing and applauding this one -- FABULOUS! 5 STARS!

beautifully composed ... love the bass and piano at the start ... great when it kicks in ...like the nuances like the strings and electric guitar bits ... a well produced and mixed piece that takes you on a few dynamic journeys ...the ending rocks ... strong vocals.

Finally, at last... I've got something finished...
Been working on this for a few weeks.
A bit of a rocker... (and an aging lecherous one at that)
I got it as close as I could and then mixed it loud... I've over-cooked it slightly - but…
This song has been sat on the marvellous mechanical mouse organ in the broom-cupboard for well over a year.
A few weeks ago I got a bit of a scare - the mouse organ nearly broke down (in the middle of sorting out Delta Dawn). While I was fixing…

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…

This is one of the many songs going round my head from when I was young. No idea whose version I heard and used to sing along to back then, but it was written by Larry Collins and Alex Harvey.
(EDIT: Done some research. It was Dottie West's…
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…
I wrote this little ditty back in May, did an acoustic demo and then played it to one or two people. I always meant to do something a bit more, er, "expansive" with the thing... So I stuck it in the corner for a bit and forgot about it.

Yeah you know what it is that I want
Oh you knew, didn't you, before I did?
How many times did you wonder whether I would dare?
Oh never mind...
Take off your underwear
Over…
lol - it seems to start off with the same sentiment in the vocal as the Nod's did... and then it starts feeling increasingly sinister... by the end, I thoroughly pitied the poor person you're singing to. Perhaps they really ought to consider a restraining order!!
Brilliant.
This salty man's a salty dog
His travels have left him weary
Got boots all lined up at the door
He's must be carrying stones again...
His salty wife waits on salty shores
Tending the child she carries
Washing his wounds with olive soap…
At the end of this road
Red rock and blue skies
And the wind calls
Plant your roots in the ground
And the clean air that the trees share
You can't hear a sound
Deep in the heart of it all
Morning dew at the sunrise
Covered in fog
Fires…
Listening to all your stuff (after your clear out) while I'm working. This one really jumped out at me and brought me over to comment (loving it all though!)
Ernesto Cavallini was considered the foremost Italian clarinetist of the 19th century. His playing was admired by both Gioachino Rossini and Giuseppe Verdi. He was in the orchestra that premiered four of Verdi’s operas at the La Scala opera…
Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach was the second of three sons of Johann Sebastian Bach. He was a crucial composer in the transition from the Baroque and Classical periods in music, directly influencing Mozart and Haydn, while retaining Baroque elements…
January challenge songwriting fun...
WATER UNDER WATER
So near the surface
So near the end
So near the purpose
Time and again
Just barely breathing
I’ll need you when
I’m floating in the water under water
Holding on loosely
Without letting…
Heres a collab that i did on the cool-lab with Tims Buddy on the beginning Johny Robbo on the 1st main solo and The Rev on the next two solos and Tim on the end and my self on the vocal…hope you enjoy.........
Close the door on Love (Lyrics…
Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift.
The cat is on the chair
And I watch him as he stares
The sky is changing fast
I see the boats sail past
And the winter's closing in
I can feel the changes from within
Tomorrow…
this is my take on Joe Bonamassa's version of Blind Faith's "Had To Cry today"
a much shorter version...just wanted to record that cool lick and am trying to work on my vocals ... oh well ..what a time to try to learn to sing at my age...63 next…
Well heres the ballad of the younger other Reg who has found himself in trouble trying to do a deal with the devil.....why didn't he listen?.....Reg told him not to trust him............I got the acoustic out for this one and a little guitar fx…
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
A fantastic, brilliant, colorful, delicious, epic composition! This is one of those one-in-a-million exceptional bit of songwriting. I'm impressed. A lot of mojo happening here. Take a bow, cause I'm standing and applauding this one -- FABULOUS! 5 STARS!
EPIC!!!!!!!!!! Haaa!!!! Great Work all the way around!!!!
Ya nailed it. Awesome mix.
beautifully composed ... love the bass and piano at the start ... great when it kicks in ...like the nuances like the strings and electric guitar bits ... a well produced and mixed piece that takes you on a few dynamic journeys ...the ending rocks ... strong vocals.
Wow... I see why it took 5 months. A wonderous construction indeed. As I'm no longer an Alonetoner... I'm Mac McIntyre
another beauty from the house of Russe ......
Awesome classic rock, outstanding tune!
I missed this one. Really Nice Ballad.
Good ole Rock N Roll...still alive and kicking!!
Nice -- really, really nice.
A great, Classic Rock-style song -- vocals, guitar, lyrics, vocals, everything! Rock on!
I still like it as it is!!
Wonderful piece. Enjoy the variety in your material.
So sweet! Love the lyrics. Such a gorgeous vocal job. Very gentle yet so powerful.
If you were going for that AC/DC sound, you nailed it. You sure can cook up some fine recordings! Great job -- Rock on!
Astonishingly great blend of vox - you guys sound amazing together! More please.
This is such a lovely, heartfelt tribute. Romantic/cool, very fabulous.
Typical Andy R gem , a great listen
This is great. I added it to my collection. Always impressed with your music.

Very echo-y kitchen you got there... :) Wonderful version.
Aww... superb. Gorgeous and fluffy, and then... uh-oh!! "Today is the day that it all went wrong" Yep... hope you cleaned up afterwards...
Yep

Oh yeah! Big Slade fan here... and this does not disappoint. Excellent version.
Nice one.
Oh, and while I'm commenting - love the riffing over the sparse background on this. Simple and powerful.
Listening to all your stuff (after your clear out) while I'm working. This one really jumped out at me and brought me over to comment (loving it all though!)
Yes. Wonderful, as ever :)
And this one. And I'm liking the information you give with the tracks. Looking forward to more.
Oh... monstrously good to listen to! Love it.
Oooh yeah. Liking your sounds :)
Wonderful stuff.
Nice one. Simple and gorgeous.
Fine version chaps. I had me doubts... but it's turned out nice.
Well, that was very enjoyable. Some very tasty stuff in there guys.
I didn't realise how much I was enjoying this until it ended. Mightily good stuff.
Oh yeah, love it
But this one just shades it for me...
I also like 'em both...
