Musta been December cause the air mighty cold
A family was moving in, further down the road
They were not the colour of the others in the street
All the kids were laughing at the trainers on their feet
I was only young and so I guess I laughed…

A moody solo acoustic thing that I came up with playing in a long forgotten tuning. Just got a new Zoom H4N, so this was recorded in my shop sitting at my reedmaking bench may 12 2009
there is a great melodic feel to this study
super clean guitar sounds, too
you're a 'fera' of the fretboard, as the brazilians would say.

shutting my eyes - i was back in brazil - the rainforest there is alive with many things - both fairy and non-fairy.
thanks for this beautiful piece of "forest" music!
It's official, Tess and Beth love it. Aready got the melody sussed. Played it to T ess over the phone - totally up for it. Oh, I love bluesy

Then one day i was playing it, and i stopped and saw my dad's old guitar…
I should be going for a shower, instead I'm finding things to do because I want to listen to you. What a gentle and melodic collection of songs, beautifully sung.
How wonderful to play the piano like you do Lalo, I particularly like the very melodic pieces probably because I don't really know much about classical music. But I can tell you are very, very good. Cheers Bethan

I found this while doing some clearing out. Its the only demo me and a friend Ben Price recorded when we were briefly looking to form a band in about 2005/2006. Listening back to it, strained vocals aside I kinda liked it so thought I should give…
