This was a song I wrote last year, and haven't recorded until last night. We had a jam session at my place, so you'll hear some folks you know on this live recording.. Feels like a old time sing-a-long as I listened again this morning.

I had a wish to sing along with Greg, so he offered me a piece of his Cherry Pie to sing along with... I added a few other bits here and there as well. Thanks Greg!!! This was a fun one for me... added some piano and a teeny bit of percussion....
This is a song I wrote this week, trying to capture that strange emotion you sometimes feel during times of great milestones in your life - good things happening, changes, moving on. Joy and melancholy all at the same time. Everyone feels it…
This is one of my favorite collaborations with Paul Lennon so far. I wrote the song with king of a bluesy feel, and then found a perfect marriage for the music with one of Paul's awesome tracks. Then we tinkered on it together to make it so…

This was a write it and record it in one session song challenge that my songwriting friends and I came up with this week. Lions and Lambs was started thinking of spring, but it turned into a song about relationships... as they often do.

I wrote this song while out hiking some awesome trails in Zion National Park... gave me some excellent inspiration. I also tried some different stuff with the mixing and using my keyboard... so trying to push a few of my envelopes...

Reg has been reading the papers again, it always brings him down, but this time he can't carry on looking the other way and ignoring the news and the facts that the life, the freedoms he holds dear are slowly being dissolved not just by his government…
Inspired by a huge Cottonwood tree I found washed up along the Mississippi River near Red Wing MN.

Its snowing so nothing can be done on the garden so why not go down the cellar and have a ponder...and of course get Edie the acoustic out and let her join in with the pondering...Thanks for listening
We hear no evil
we listen the news…
Total inspiration for me this morning! The snow is also coming down here in MN, USA and I don’t think it’s ever going to stop this season. This song captures exactly the challenges we are all facing. Self seeking politicians seem to be everywhere these days! Great stuff!!
Lovely to work with the talented Ms Daulby again...she had asked for a version of this super Beverly Craven classic and I was happy to oblige! Thanks to 13111y for his usual excellent tweaking and mastering......
Were you guys aware that I'm a Beatles fan? Because, well.... I am.
I don't want you to come too close
I don’t need you to break the rules

I don’t think we can be friends

A large portion of this record was written with my friend Wilsun in mind. If anything, this is an album to amuse him. To ensure I achieved that goal, I tried to write a song that reminded me of "Life In A Northern Town", although it actually…
I had an hour or so this evening as the wife had a friend over I disappeared down the cellar and started to think about my old man he's been gone now twenty one years and how in his old age when I used to go and see him I'd find him sitting pondering…

A very loose homage to the passing of the amazing and wonderful tunesmith/songwriter, Burt Bacharach. Created in Pure Data in an equally loose Brian Eno feel.
Song #2 for this year's RPM album....another one from the basement in the middle of the night. Experimenting with minimal lyrics and a lot of repetition. The song probably has something to do with how we left our home of many years last February…
