Well the song tells the story of the morning.... a lovely bleak, cold day. I decided on a simple a cappella arrangement to fit the feeling of the day.

Steve developed this beautiful track with his ukulele and I added some lyrics to make a "positive message" song for the times we are in.... Hope it makes you smile too...

I wrote this one in response to a song writing challenge from the Minnesota Association of Songwriters. The title had to be Mississippi Moon and it had to have a I V VI I II chord progression somewhere in the song. Over 20 writers have signed…
Hi there from across the pond! Thank you so much for your kind words about a couple of my tracks....really appreciated. Been listening to few of your recent compositions....love the voice and sentiments - are you influenced by artistes such as Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell etc?
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…

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...

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…

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…
Can’t you find a way, to get
Closer to me
Don’t think about leaving,
Think about me
Don’t throw it away
You’re all that I have
You’re all that I need
Look at me falling, lady
Head over heels
Doesn’t that move you baby?
Closer to…
