I should be working . . . but . . . I just had to take another pass through your video again.
Something about that last chord and the expression on your face.
Now, off to work!

coool guitar! nicely-pitched vox. humour, I like. nice progression. poignant and heartfelt. stopping listening before the end, as I don't want to cry at it. G:) thank you.

What beautiful melody . ....a great image is formed from you're lyrics....you must have looked like little lord fontalroy in you suit and shiny shoes I know I did when we went to the family occasions ....a beauty of a song....

That is an incredible tune. Lyrically excellent! I love the riff. Those acoustics sound perfecto! Short but sweet, makes u want to hear more. Great Andrew :).
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…
First new one from me in a long time.
Kind of a love song, I guess.
Recorded in my new "studio" (3rd bedroom in the new house). Almost up and running now... shine and don't stop wondering!

i agree with williew,, the less you use,,(man and guitar) the harder it is to pull off,,, and indeed you do it here! i love the quiet understated , personal, right with you feel of this... and that's not even speaking of the lyrics,,, simply put "to die for",, beautiful, you have made my sunday eve,, quite magical,,, r
We wrote and recorded a new song while we are all on lock down...have really missed playing with the band. Lindy wrote the song and recorded his part at his home studio sent it to me and I added my parts and vocals Our studio is behind Ken's house…
I just had a birthday and the Rubics nude band was here.
I invited some of my favorite imaginary friends. See if you can pick them out
Chuck Berry on guitar, Jerry Lee on keys Duck dune on bass and the Eureka springs Sheriff dept on back…
Its Groundhog Day again......
All day I’m chasing tomorrow
Cause I need Tomorrow to get away from today
But tomorrow becomes just like any another day
It just morphs into today
I don’t know where this life going to
It don’t stick to any…
This is mighty cool. Digging the guitar sound. And the chords and the way the melody weaves through them is very cool. And such a simple phrase for the title that speaks volumes. Yep.
The Last Resort would have been too long if this had been included so I did a fade-in to create Part 2... The chords in the verse have a passing resemblance to 'A Few Words For The Dead' by Marillion... I found that out afterwards!
There's…
Yep. Follows on nicely from the first part. And although I disliked the "wall of keyboards" sounds in the 70s (I'm a guitarist after all!), I'm digging those 70s keyboards now. I was never that into Marillion - saw them a couple of times, and they did help eventually open my ears to Genesis etc... On a second listen, the sounds are reminding me of Rainbow from around the same time.
Here's the first of several versions that you'll see from a collaboration across the inter webs started by Greg Connor. He got us together on the Zoom and then look what happened!!!! Music and lyrics collaborated with the talents of Steve Krell…
from the album "the Machine"
nothings wrong with me
it's all in your mind
everything's ok
and I am feeling fine
must be some mistake
or you've misunderstood
whatever you might think
everything is good, so good
the power is still on…
had a few changes throughout this project, breaking my head and shedding some sweat but hey, there's plenty of free time so what the hell!
Added some hard electronic metal halfway.
The vocal samples is a real television broadcast about propaganda…
Wowsers. That's BIG. Well worth the effort and head breaking! I wouldn't have been able to appreciate this so much a few years back... but now, yeah, just wow. Nice one.
Looks like I'm a little bit drunk, but hey, I don't care LOL... It's been a while since I've uploaded something, but no excuse now during lockdown time :-) I still don't have proper recording facilities and I'm forever trying to find my way…
The last 6 months, I've been sight reading a Bach Chorale each morning (there are 400 of em!) and occasionally one sticks out that I really like.
This one sounded great on the Wurlitzer, which is literally note for note playing the chorale…
wrote this song back in 2017 when i had too many thoughts i wanted to express in music, so i wrote a song about having that instead of the thoughts themselves lol...
not 100% how i'd like it to have turned out, but i like it all the same... especially…
On a resent group meeting of musicians , I was reminded of the love of Latin rhythms. Thank you Bethan.
This is a tune dedicated to a los angeles luthier family ,Candelas, who build old style classic guitars. My fist real guitar was one of…
Written for the April 2020 RPM mini-challenge. I hoped for an EP and ended up with a single song. The song is largely recorded on a T25 mic I built for Brian of A Beautiful Scene as a means to test the mic. It's pretty solid if you ask me…
So, a song about today's World, first and foremost , without Greg Connor and his imput to push me on this song it would've happened. Thanks Greg, you're a star.
It's in my will, Greg, a third of all the profits go to you ....... sorry promised…
Oh wow,love it. I do think it's amazing seeing how different people take an idea on differently. And how we all hear it differently too. Personally, this one speaks to me more... but I do think he earned his third!
Strange Times is an international collaboration between Roger Harris & myself. Roger initiated the idea with the first verse and chorus along with a chord progression. I added the last verse and took some liberty in producing this version…
I wrote this over a year ago and could not get it. the groove was too slow and so were my hands. well tzars better.
the concept came from a friend comparing his new love with a ten round boxing match . I could not resist.

Love all the acoustics....nice playing ...its a breath of fresh air. More listens on this side of the pond.

That's a goodie

Oh yeah. Very very cool. Nice one all. Love the vocal.
Cool track, though... I'm quite happy with the amount of cowbell :)
I'm really quite tipsy here (blame my wife) ... but there's something making me think "The Who" and I can't tell what...
Digging this album
Oh yes... like it. Followed. I'll be listening to more later.
Wowsers. That's BIG. Well worth the effort and head breaking! I wouldn't have been able to appreciate this so much a few years back... but now, yeah, just wow. Nice one.
Wow. Digging your stuff. And then suddenly the guitars kicked in on this one! Yeah...
Oh yes, loving this.
Oh crumbs, it's fabulous.
Wow. That's a bit of a song. My favourite of yours so far. Yes please, upload more new stuff!
Ok, the best words have been used already, but I'm using them anyway - Sweet. Cooking.
Good one. Love the lyrics.
Oh wow,love it. I do think it's amazing seeing how different people take an idea on differently. And how we all hear it differently too. Personally, this one speaks to me more... but I do think he earned his third!
Oh yeah, nice one guys.
That feels good... and a cool idea
