I dig it. Guitar and voices. Mandolin? Multiple voices. Live recorded maybe? I am envious that you have access to that kind of community locally. Well done.

This is a great song! I can't believe its from just 1 mic! This would be something a person would hear on prairie home companion to bring in the spring. After listening to it a few times I would really love to hear it live!!
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…
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...

You guys are on fire! Each of you has the thing to compliment the other.
Colleen, I was thinking of you over the weekend. Thinking about how far you have come musically since I met you last summer.
These last few songs have stopped me in my tracks. Very impressive!
This is my first upload. I mostly have a vocal here. It's a song that I'd love to get some collaboration on from the guitarists in the community. Let me know what you think?

Baby you can sleep while I drive
The Stars shine bright as I’ll slip the car into overdrive
I’ve got faith showing me the way out to the dream
Out into that brand new day
Where hopes…

When there’s C snow on the G pumpkins
Autumn leaves have all D gone
And the C geese are all G flying
Cause it’s time to move D on
When there’s C snow on the G pumpkins
We’ll sit by the Em fire
We’ll C talk about our dreams, our D hope…
(Remastered 22/10/2021)
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…
DIRTY LAUNDRY Key C
I got a call from Russell. He had to move his junk
He’d filled his car. He’d filled his trunk
Big black bags of something. I said, “What’s with these?”
He said, “It’s dirty laundry.” I said, “That’s crazy.”
So, he…

Wandering thru the backyards on a cold and hallowed night
When I saw the little children all dressed up with eyes so bright…
In Lockdown, I have really been inspired to return to my more classical roots, and have enjoyed playing around with the idea of epic style movie or cinematic themes/trailers. I have imaginatively named them Lockdown Orchestrations No. 1, No…
Well Reg is struggling can he find that belief in himself or not…….
Belief
Sat at the bar wishing again on a dream
Head floating into space
I got my eyes closed to the scene
Cause I know I sit here in disgrace
Another drink another whiskey…
I really wish I could sing.
This one was written for the 2014 50/90. I remember it clearly. I set up with the intention of working on something else but plugged in my guitar and played this without thinking about it. Well, I guess I was…
