I wrote this one a couple of hours ago.
I set up for recording, and busted a string on the Martin... GAH!!!
I tried a big ole dreadnought thing…
GEEZZZZZZZ! Your lyrics always just slay! Fun to imagine all your arrangements moving about in your head. It sounds like a major league anthem in the making!

OK, this is a bit of a departure for me - posting songwriting demos.
This is a one mic recording made this morning in the living room, touch of reverbs…

I found this one while I was digging through the shoe-box for the 1994 songs. Apparently I wrote it on 10th November 1995.
Foolishly, I thought it would only take a week or so to record... I was originally expecting…
Love it - also the era it is from! I hear the Bron-Y-Aur Stomp but only because you mention it (that is one of my favourite Zeppelin songs). Fun and great musicianship truly.

Ah! I now read your post....that challenge seems more zen :). I also like that emphasis on the song writing part. You're off to a fabulous start! PS thanks for listening to my stuff - much appreciated. ONWARD WE GO! lol

Wow - glad I found you. I'll chime in with the other comments - that is an amazing demo! The raw guitar and voice gives it an intimate feeling (befitting of the song). Well done! Now I'm listening to the other song that came up....really professional!

I love the raw quality of your vocals and just your guitar. Really powerful indeed. Your lyrics touch that place of remembrance of a long ago friend. What might they be like had they stayed around…. Love it!!

I was asked (told?) to upload something happy. Hmmm, I thought. This will end well...
So, a few days later, I was rehearsing a pleasant little thing I wrote several years ago that has a working title of "She Was…

I can see you on your rocking horse now
The one that turned around and kicked you in the teeth

Rats on the long message! I just figured it out… it was bleeped away when one song ended and the next popped up mid typing by me. All hail Taylor Swift!!! I hope you and yours are doing okay during these crazy times.

I've been missing in action for ages - apologies to all, I'm about to start listening again too.
For ages, I'd been considering a move away from my trusty Boss BR1600 on which I've recorded and mixed nearly everything…

So I got me a new geetar the other week.
Named her Lala, obviously. Seemed kind of appropriate - she wears a faded gold dress and is full of chunes and mischiefs.
This is our first effort together. It was meant…

When I read the album blurb, I was wondering what the effect would be from the Rock/Acoustic split.
It's fab! Brilliant transition, and now i'm in another place but still emotionally in the same album.
A little ditty i recorded at the weekend and then sent off to the Mighty Two Regs to strut his stuff all over and man that boy can sing!!!
Cheers Reg,your a star!!!
When Jimmy was little he couldn’t stand still
He had pepper in his britches
Jimmy was so funny. We threw him lots of money.
He kept us all in stitches
Jimmy was a thumper. A shadow humper.
He scratched it where it itches
Jimmy was a…
I’ll tell you the truth. I’ve been out of control
They took away my blanket. Put me out in the cold.
Even Miami’s got ice on the ground

I heard the track on Geas's RPM album and thought i would try to add a story to the instrumental...i then sent it over for Geas to mix so here it is...

I've put this one together this morning for the TV fest on the otherside, it's based on the Vikings series showing on Netflicks it covers the first episode it looks like it's going to be a cracking series ...now to find the time to watch it…
FDR sent me over this superb backer to see what i could do...well i went back in time... to the time of Motorbikes and leathers and living life with no tomorrow...oh what fun it was back then shame we have to grow up!.........well have to sell…
this is the new Remix by Art
First collaboration with Greg Connor for 2014!!
Greg's lyrics...he sent them to me along with his version and said I could do as I please...so I had my way with them and this is what came out.a little experimental…
Song about idolising people. Mr Supercool is anyone we think deserves our idolatry - could be a him, or a her, or even oneself. Mr Supercool cares nothing for anyone. He has no love.
Anyway - glad to be back messing with music again after…
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
How come I feel like I'm back in the Court of Henry VIII, with a merry minstrel strumming his stuff ..... love it ....
GEEZZZZZZZ! Your lyrics always just slay! Fun to imagine all your arrangements moving about in your head. It sounds like a major league anthem in the making!
Good one. Keep going, you can do it!
That’s a great sounding demo Andrew! I share your thoughts on RPM. I did it for several years, but now I would rather take my time.
Love it - also the era it is from! I hear the Bron-Y-Aur Stomp but only because you mention it (that is one of my favourite Zeppelin songs). Fun and great musicianship truly.

Well it does it for me, and I find myself agreeing with all that you say ...
Very nice Andrew - and the edge provided by ‘live’ is great for the song 👍👍
I love the raw quality of your vocals and just your guitar. Really powerful indeed. Your lyrics touch that place of remembrance of a long ago friend. What might they be like had they stayed around…. Love it!!
Still one of my fav songs of so many awesome song you’ve written. Your writing is absolutely amazing!
Rats on the long message! I just figured it out… it was bleeped away when one song ended and the next popped up mid typing by me. All hail Taylor Swift!!! I hope you and yours are doing okay during these crazy times.
Glad you're sharing more of your art. I haven't been able to listen in until just recently. Best of luck.
WoW! Rock on! Great crisp guitar. You must come over some time and make one of my guitars sound like that.resting break...huge.
Added to my favorite playlist...perfect driving music.
Top notch guitar playing and production arrangement. Great stuff. 'nick of time' very British alleyway:)
Absolutely fabulous! Your lyrics always mesmerize… wonderful to hear your amazing music again. You’ve been missed indeed.
You've been gone too long! This sounds rich - love the stereo duelling guitars. Great tune and lyrics too
Good stuff, really crisp sound.
Liking the country vibe! Lovely harmonies too. :)

This is a gorgeous song.

Second FDR/2Regs I've heard tonight - you guys is rocking!! It's party time now (Sunday roast and a bottle of wine, anyway!)
And this... love how it hangs together.
Tasty.
Oh yes. LIKE IT. Love the chorus.
Nice one chaps
WOW! I've been away a long time... I'd never have predicted you'd come out with something like this - love all the vocals.
Rockin stuff, guys!!
