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…

Electric blues. Recorded 2007. I was learning how to use my DAW and trying to figure out how a one-man-band could get to sound like a bunch of old bluesers in a sweaty bar...

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.

Andrew , Great quality to this higher register,Heart felt and not Whiney. I love this. I could no more sing like this than
Wiggle my arms and fly. Great voice
A new original from me. Another one-voice, one-guitar, "live" performance in my broom-cupboard. This time it's the good ole tin guitar.
I wrote this one in 2002 during the "dark years" lol. I've ummed and aahed over the years on whether to…

"I like that notion of optimism right around the corner . . . but not quite here yet."
Yep, I like that as well now, VERY much... but I didn't really believe it when I wrote it! lol - it was more of a yearning for it to be true.

Steve developed this beautiful track with his ukulele and I added some lyrics to make a "positive message" song for the times we are in.... Hope it makes you smile too...
It Won’t Be Like This Forever
Sitting here on my front steps
Listening…
Oh yeah. Nice one. Love the title (although there is one bit I want to keep - I've kinda got used to working at home and REALLY don't want to go back to commuting!)
A song I made up in retro style, just for a bit of fun ;- ) I used various guitars. It's partly sung in English and some of it in French. I try to do my own mixing, so don't expect too much LOL... Regardless, I hope you enjoy it ! Kind regards…
A new song
The worst man possible for the job right now

Prior to recording these Vocals/Lyrics my Microphone died on so i had to use my phone voice-recorder with not knowing how the sound would be. Anyway i had a blast making this Song.
Lyrics:
Broken Dreams on repeat It’s a tie for the Grip…
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…

Enjoyed it a lot.
Nice one.
Oh yes, that works for me.
Cool sounds.
Weird... and strangely compelling.
Oh yeah. And a cool video! Nice one.
Rock. And. Roll.

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.
