I wrote this song while watching a beautiful snowfall a couple of winters ago - right after the 2016 election. I was feeling a lot of emotions at the time, and writing this one helped out.

"It’s hard to see the difference
Between the twilight and the dawn."
What a perfect picture!
...and the person I wrote COLORS for has never heard the song. Do you think I should tell her about it?

I invited some of my favorite imaginary friends. See if you can pick them out

There isn’t much time to get this out
You won’t hear me if I have to…
A strat and a slow minor blues are a go to for an overheard cell phone call.
The tone is pure strat wiggly bar juju. Thanks Robert Cray

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…
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…
Well this is from a challenge,' write one with the word glass seems simple -straight away.
THE PROBLEM WAS THE VOCAL . TOO SHY TO SING!
MY friend on alonealonetone told me just sing it dummy
so I did that. Thank You you know who…
Wow!!!!! I love this one. How cool is this process. Its pretty awesome how different the songs turned out, but still that lovely track in the background. You write the best lyrics!!! Maybe we should do a mash-up of all the versions...

She's starting to write her own stuff (proud!) but just to get her in the studio for the first time, here is a cover of a song by Vance Joy.
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…

Okies, so I'm working on some other thing and it's taking a while... drums to do and wotnot. But in the middle of it I'm digging how my Martin acoustic is working out. You probs won't even be able to hear it amongst…
On a resent group meeting of musicians , I was reminded of the love of Latin rhythms. Thank you Bethan.
This is a tune dedicated to a los angeles luthier family ,Candelas, who build old style classic guitars. My fist real guitar was one of…
So, a song about today's World, first and foremost , without Greg Connor and his imput to push me on this song it would've happened. Thanks Greg, you're a star.
It's in my will, Greg, a third of all the profits go to you ....... sorry promised…
This is my 2nd Piece that I "wrote" in a pretty simple fashion. I started with the 2 pizzicato tracks and then Improvised 3 voices on top of that. It started as a test if I can plug in my audiointerface into my phone and it kind of worked out…
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…
Strange Times is an international collaboration between Roger Harris & myself. Roger initiated the idea with the first verse and chorus along with a chord progression. I added the last verse and took some liberty in producing this version…

About COLORS: With all this talk of harassment I'm reluctant.
"It’s hard to see the difference Between the twilight and the dawn." What a perfect picture! ...and the person I wrote COLORS for has never heard the song. Do you think I should tell her about it?
beautiful & coming from someone who works the graveyard shift ...I relate to the contrast of the difference
Thanks. This is beautiful, welcome back. I've been thinking about that difference a lot lately.
