It wasn't "finished" in my mind - there was a certain amount of "orchestration" to come.
But I ended up liking the starkness of this version.

Acoustic tale recorded Christmas 2010.
I wrote it years ago. Even tried rehearsing it with the band I was in at the time. But I couldn't play it properly. It took several weeks of practicing DADGAD (never really used it in anger before) until…

Quite nice in this stripped down version ... love the subtle organ ... the simplicity adds to the sense of starkness and the melody is very effective with the words.

Pop-rock song. Recorded 2009.
I wrote this several years earlier and rehearsed it with the last band I was in.
The recording was my first "serious" project on my Boss MBR, I was stunned that you could do something like this on a little silver…
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 kinda like this one, although the cutting and pasting sounds really obvious to my ears. I usually try and get my punches cleaner than this, but I seemed to be slacking on this day. The lyrics are part of my current atheist bent. The guitars…
Not sure about the mix for this one. My left ear hears much better than my right, and I do all of my work with headphones. Sometimes when I have two doubled tracks split left/right I end up having a hard time keeping them balanced. I over compensate…
It was about time I got on with musical expression. This song is about our interconnectedness. Our identity. Serious mystic stuff eh? Yeah - wait until you hear it - haha.

My tribute to Anne Boleyn, the first queen to be publicly executed in England. I used some of the poetry she wrote during her imprisonment in the chorus. An innocent, incomparable woman.
With music written and performed by Soundsmith Kamachi.
It was the last day of RPM and he asked me to write a lullaby for a track called Cornucopia. Very much enjoyed how easily this one flowed. That's my mum, Bee Mathis, adding class to the…
This one was recorded back in 2011 but I never posted it. I took a listen to it recently and liked what I heard with fresh ears. It's another of my surf tunes which I enjoy making from time to time.
I suppose you could call this a Lament of sorts, I call it a bit of fun, and it was fun to record. Thanks Aimee, ( my daughter ) for the new strings for my birthday. they came in useful !!!!!
:)
I listened before the "About" was in. I was thinking "why can't I write happy songs like this?" ... and then the verse after the instrumental arrived and put it right in the same ballpark as the lyrics I'd just been typing up!!!
This is an April song. It's bad enough that I think it might be completely ripped off of a 2013 RPM song, but the mix turned into a sloppy mess. I might remix it, but then again I might just give up. The lyrics are about our failed attempt…
This song marks two milestones in my silly little music recording existence. First it is the very first time I recorded a song that used electric guitars that only used a Fender guitar. When I bought the Strat last weekend this was the only…
My cover / tribute to the Led Zeppelin masterpiece.
It's a song I turned to in the early days of teaching myself to play guitar 30 years ago and I've always been a bit obsessed by it.
Done for the songcrafters.org Zepfest.
Enjoy
I was listening to the two Jack Bruce/Robin Trower records from 1981. I was sort of digging the whole aging-white-guys-making-a-show-of-being-funky vibe and decided to steal it. The result is this cheese ball of a 12-bar.

Keep generating it!! Like it.
More very tasty guitars... I can't hear anything that sounds like a dirty punch to me, though :)
Well, balance of the gits feels pretty good to me (I am listening in my "mixing" headphones though!!). Cool playing :)
Oh yes. Gorgeous sounds... more fun like this needed!
Nice one. Like it.
I listen to this quite often - spose I better listen to it again now! You knows I loves it, don't yer? :-)
:) x
Oh yes, glad you dusted this one off.
A fine set of songs, sir! :)
I'd forgotten the extremely cool guitars in the instrumental - good to hear again.
Woo! a new one - like it.

Or maybe you won't! (Sell the Gibsons)
Like it. You know you're gonna sell your Gibsons, don't you?... hehe
I was doubtful about how this would work (I've been a bit obsessed by it too) - now I'm sorry for doubting you!! NICE version. Love the piano outro.
Ha Ha Ha!! Ya crazy buggers Wonderful version
Headphones on... RAWK!! Hey! I didn't fave it first time...
Works for me! (aging-white-guy)
