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…

This is a remix of this song.
It was recorded in 2010, and I was in a hurry to post it elsewhere because I'm so fond of the song itself. But I've always hated the old mix - I lost the essence of the guitars and choirs during mastering because…

@guest
:) don't let that inner puppy get sunburned.
Some of what you've been doing yourself recently went into the ability to create this one. And I nearly even posted the songwriting demo!!! :0

Refreshing new sound. It's nice to hear an acoustic guitar, and the harmonies are really nice.
And the message . . . well . . . you old softy! Well done.

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!)

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.
Ip Man was a Gradmaster of Wing Chun(southern Chinese kung-fu) and he is widely known as a Bruce Lee's SiFu(teacher…
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. ;)

I finally was able to remix the song. Please listen to "Fide On The Broom Stick (Version 2012)" in my track list to compare…
This celtic folk piece is a collaboration with lyricist Donna Devine.
This is Donna's explanation:

Background: In earlier centuries, young men were captured by "press gangs" - often literally torn away from…
Another goodie...
Thoroughly enjoyable listen to all of your tracks on here so far...
I'm amazed at all the different styles you take on and succeed at.
This one started while I was commenting All I Do Is Cry ... and it didn't grab me initially.
But when I started concentrating... crumbs, this excellent. Really interesting melody and chords, and boy does he navigate his way around it well.
I had to click favourite by the time it finished! Brilliant.

Ah... I heard this the other day, didn't I?
I've got two more of yours to go at the moment, but this is my personal FAVOURITE so far.
I assume it's Tricia Dovidio on the vocal again? I think I loves her voice and delivery... :-)

I'm glad this song finally got finished. I had lost the synth draft and with it…
Like the song, love the song, but you're right, I think there's a better a mix in there - it's almost like the lead vocal dominates the track too much... try thinning him out a bit mebbe? Seems a shame to do it though, he's got such a good rich voice :-)

Oh yeah, this is a special one.
He's an excellent lead vocalist, absolutely superb. The song stays sung when he's sung it! Not so convinced that he ought to do his own bvox based on this one though? I felt his lead wanted a different texture to go with it.
Having said that though - wow! The song, the performances, the recording... Superb :-)
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
Haha, growly and lots of fun! Quite cheeky actually.

Excellent track mate really enjoyed this one.
Oh yes....White suit unpacked !!!!
I love this song !!! Subject of the song....Spot on :)
I like this song.
The harmonies toward the are striking!

That is killer....love that gnarly bass line.
Always a pleasure listening to your music. Great arrangement on the background vocals. I like , I like , I like this song...he he
I think this is a masterpiece! You have captured the essence. My wife brings order to my chaos too, 36 years now.
Well played. After reading your notes I've decided to be nicer to you. Just kidding.
Refreshing new sound. It's nice to hear an acoustic guitar, and the harmonies are really nice. And the message . . . well . . . you old softy! Well done.
Cool tune.

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
Yep, lovely stuff, this works as it is for me
