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.

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!

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. :)

Aww, fabulous. Where's the fave button when it's not working? (I clicked it anyway...)

Woof - some cool playing right here.

Oh yeah. Nice one guys.

I was thinking that (intense backing track) - I had to listen twice to "block" that out and listen to you! Ace vox.

Tasty. It works like this - it's a good listen as it is - but I'd like to hear what vocals you come up with.

Well, my right foot moved a fair bit... does that count as doing the Tiggy jig? Nice one.

Woo yeah, like it.

I'd fave it, but the button doesn't seem to work for me anymore...

Love this.

This hits the spot. I prefer brandy meself (and vodka martini) but this makes me wonder. Love the choruses.

Wow! Epic stuff.

Oh yeah, this is a tasty one alright.

Haunting. Love the woodwind (and horns?) that come to the fore later.

It's three mics. A Rode NT1000 large condensor for the vocal. The guitar had two SM57s on it, one at the 12th fret, one just below the bridge, panned hard left and right. If I had more condensors I'd use them on the guitar - when I track things separately I always use the Rode on an acoustic (unless it's a resonator, that pushes a condensor too hard) - using the 57s like this seems to produce are fair amount of hiss!

Oh yeah, nice one. Big sound. You've got those synths and guitars working well together.

Love it

Oh yes, another gorgeous one. I think it's my favourite so far.

lol

A fine set of tracks. Looking forward to you posting more.

Ah! I seem to have listened to them back-to-front... But yes, this would be a great opener.
