Recorded Last Friday - I sprung this song on Mark Imsdahl while we were playing music together.
I thought he did pretty good for never hearing the song before.

I love my mini van, lot's of room. I could try to make it sound cooler by saying I'm using it to lug my gear gig to gig but mostly it just gets the family where they are going. Cheers!

And y'all thought the Hokey Pokey was what it was all about! This song is 4 dimensional – up/down, left/right, in/out, now/then. BIG THANKS to Greg Connor for fabulous vocals…
Remixed unplugged.
I removed all the electric guitars and synths.
I also replaced the lead with a harmonica, re-recorded my backups, and ran the bass track through a fretless patch.
I like this version.
Thanks Michael - You've been a wonderful…

Been a while since I posted anything...(working on a secret project) anyway been feelin the blues lately so I decided to record this old blues tune...the lead guitar was recorded in one take so please dismiss some clams and relentless wanking…
There is nothing like the presence of a horse. The quiet understanding. The gentle strength.
Woodlake, California...1961. I had a horse. She was my friend.
There were times in my teens when Babe was the only being that did not judge me…
I'm almost done with this last CD by Wildgeas Music.
I'm retiring to new stuff and new gear :)

Feeling down, I don’t know why
Remembering how I used to feel those times I cried
Running down this lonely heart
it just don’t feel the same now that we’re apart
And I know…
An old song revisited. My attempt of writing a Ye Olde style Folk song !!!! The old version is still deep down in My Tracks, be a where the sound is awful !!!!!
come away, come away
away from trouble
away from care
come away, come away
away from sorrow
away from fear
may the cool wind find you
through a thousand thoughts unsaid
gather you in
weary day behind you
and you can lay your head…
Finally, at last... I've got something finished...
Been working on this for a few weeks.
A bit of a rocker... (and an aging lecherous one at that)
I got it as close as I could and then mixed it loud... I've over-cooked it slightly - but…

Ohhh ... lovely intertwining of mando and low whistle. You set a beautiful mood right in the first few measures.

Thanks for the invitation. That was fun!
Very unique . . . and beautiful, almost tranquil.
It's like taking a 5 minute journey. Haunting music with great bass line accompanying perfect vocal.
Nice organic feel with the acoustic guitar and harmonica
This thing REALLY swings! Excellent
This is a real toe tapper! Big full sound.
You have that distinctive sound. Well done again!
I love it! You should get the "BLUES" more often. This is first class.
Great sentimental song/story.
Wow . . . I like this! You really have a nice grove going here.
Great Vocal with lots of feeling! I like that acoustic sound too.
Beautiful song. Music is very inviting and compliments the singing perfectly. Nice work guys!
Nice *"Back To The Country"* song. I like that Open A tuning.
I. Think I know this woman that you are singing about. She really gets around. Nice harmonica Dave!
Good music! I spent a few minutes listening to several songs.
Sitting here on Saturday afternoon, playing along to your tune across the pond. *You gotta love the internet!*
This put some lead in my pencil this morning. Now I'm ready for the day.
Perfect Spring Love Song!
Still a *"KICK ASS"* Lullaby
*Bullseye* . . . ! You hit the spot Andrew!
