This one started out one morning several weeks ago when the sun was still shining...
If it's as wet and dark as it is here, just close your eyes, I'm sure you can imagine it if you try hard enough...
Lollies, chips, and beer…

this is so cool ... really enjoyed the groove you got going ... great vox and slid age and that organ is the icing on the cake..
Makes me want to get out my blues harp and jam...

This was well worth the wait. Superb! I love the reference to what is current these days....hint hint..I like the entrance of the keys and organ at 2:42, masterful. Love it.

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…
I can't quite believe that I'm posting this, or that I've even recorded it. But I've played it like this sat on the sofa in the living room for many years, and I needed something to check out how to record a live "one vocal and one guitar" song…
Recorded Oct 2010.
It was meant to be a full band pop-rock song. But I started overdubbing on the original exploratory demo I'd done to work out the arrangement (with no click track). I kept coming back to it intending to start afresh... but…
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…
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 like, I like this song! Great vibe, lyrics...your wife must be lovely. And the lyrics here so I can sing along confidently...great for twiddling along to on guitar too!;-)
A song about my wife. Recorded 2005.
I'd just taught myself how to play piano (badly).
I'd always wanted to be Freddie Mercury when I was younger... still got a bit of a ways to go.

Found this little chappie while I was preparing my latest original for loading.
It was a quick demo recorded on my Boss Micro BR sometime in October or so last year (2011) while I was working on Shine.
It was a sort of "blow the cobwebs out…
leaving the island
Costello fingered his bow
looking out his villa window
grey morning sky
giving way...clouds
scattered by the sun
to fishing boats painted on
far off horizons
a melody he offers
in toast of their run
of their run
his boats…
Wow, you've got something going here...
At first the "lo-fi" recording made me think I'd probably switch it off. But the performance and song transcends it completely. This is superb.
Over the weekend Reg had gone back to his home town where he come from and met up with a few of his friends from whey back when. He found that he seemed like stranger. He was sitting telling Elvis about his weekend. Elvis felt sorry for Reg because…

Have to find out some more about my organ. So I gave it a try once more. And ofcourse had to play with the video of the organ and me playing on it.
I hope you like it.
Also I love to play…
Well, this might have been a beautiful start to the day for Leo... but for me it's been a pretty good start to the early evening after a hard day at work!
It's uplifting and relaxing at the same time - it was perfect to shake off the burdens I'd brought home... they seem to be gone now :)
2 Januari 2010.
I love animals and so I made this video for my friends at CDMagz, and later also posted the video myself at my Twirretwarre channel. I hope you enjoy the music
and the birds in our garden!
I improvised with Korg I3 and improvised…
Your stuff is completely unlike what I've been listening to recently, so it's a bit of a culture shock!
But a few tracks in and it's really relaxing me. Love this one :)
Our lovely cat Minimini is such a nice cat. She loved to go outside with me in the snow. And so I had to make some music and video with her.
This was in January 2010
Reg is trying to find escape from all the bad news surrounding him, his age, his life, the world as a whole, He needs to escape he can not do anything to help the suffering people of the world apart from maybe send money, he can't change this…
This one started as a the title line while driving in my car. All I had was the line and it's melody. I built the song around that about 6 months later. The lyrics are self explanatory.
This one had better not be cr@p now lol...
And it's not... it's tingle-down-the-spine music.
A perfect finish to an utterly stunning album. Well done, very well done indeed.
This song started as the riff on my Strat while fooling around with some FX. I knew it needed to be a big dance number, and then realized there is a great story about the power of music and dance, which I hid in the lyrics. See if you can figure…
It's about a few folks, some known, some known to me. I liked the chunkiness of the chord that starts it, but wanted to do something a little more 'spacey' than a pure rock number. It's all true too.
A little fun riff that came from noodling on my Epi whilst watching the idiot box one night. It's kind of written for a friend who is a little lost in a self-imposed exile from life.

This went by while I was musing on the earlier tracks...
Now I'm listening to it again. Another goodie. Stunning vox, and I'm liking the slide. The middle section is genius.
A brief glimpse, but that's all. Inspired by last April. It's for everyone, but no one in particular. Yes, this one gives more than a passing nod to Ham and Evans. Thanks gents!
Top Of The Pops circa 1972! Remember when all those bands in the early 70's where adding synth to every song but the lyrics meant something (sometimes)? Pure excitement, pure bubblegum, pure fun. Well, this is my offering and thanks to all of…
I've run out of words... I've broken me "Favourite" button...
And your rhythm guitar playing... wow... you've got the same thing going that Malcolm Young has.
Good grief... I'm only three songs into this album... this is just... just... fabulous.
Yep, that reverb is the one it needed.
Like DB sez, yes, ELO. But there's Mott The Hoople, etc, as well... much else... all that 70s goodness... and an excellent song as well.

Feets started tappin' straight away,this bounces along very nicely!
Oh!you are awful....but i do like your Honkey tonk.....
This was well worth the wait. Superb! I love the reference to what is current these days....hint hint..I like the entrance of the keys and organ at 2:42, masterful. Love it.

I found myself leaning into my laptop screen to try to get closer to the performance! lol Excellent, excellent. I love your voice and delivery.

I love this. A fabulous piece of music.
Wonderful, utterly wonderful. And I didn't believe it when I heard that Elvis was your basement
Spaghetti Metal - lol Whatever it is, I likes this one. Great groove pushing it onwards.

I ain't got nuthin sensible left to say Faved
Sigh... :-)
And that guitar break!!
This went by while I was musing on the earlier tracks... Now I'm listening to it again. Another goodie. Stunning vox, and I'm liking the slide. The middle section is genius.
This is a stunner. Had to come back and listen twice. So well put together... unbelievably good listening.
Brilliant.
Yep, always listen to what the song says :-) Another superb one. On certain days, this would be my favourite of the album so far.
