Morning light on the mountain stream,
catches the eye of the child within his dreams.
The day begins, present and aware,
of all the beauty, he plays without a care.
Castles on the riverbank, a choir of birds in song,
picking spring flowers in…
Why does everyone have a better acoustic guitar sound than me...?
More Neil Young sounding to me but I can also picture/hear B.O.C (fyi: Blue Oyster Cult for the kiddies..:>) covering this or the Marshall Tucker Band.
Love the first chords, drew me right in. Wish I wrote it! What's the intro's chord progression so's I can steal em! If this was a bit faster, it'd be a great Monkees tune (i love the Monkees!) or 'country-fy' it and I can hear Tom T. Hall covering it (is he still alive?)
;>)
Cover of a 19th century minstrel tune attributed to S.S. Steele, popularize by the late great John Hartford. This is my own arrangement. I use it as a backing track for alive set without the banjo and lead vocal tracks.
BTW- that banjo is an…

Winter Solstice
Written by Greg Connor
When the G days are short, and the C evening’s so D long
And the C wind is D shaking the G trees
When the cold snow crunches C beneath your D feet
And your C cheeks are D…

Heres a collab with Wildgeas Music a beautiful bit of music hope i did it justice with the vocal............
Tomorrow (Lyrics)
I know the curse of the darkness is coming
those dark nights that will feed upon my soul
with no forward glance of tomorrow…
I heard Jimi Jamin for the first time the other day after M.T.C commented on it with ".yep....this jim is jammin today" and it got me thinking about Jim when he's jamming and his inspirations i may be well of the mark but hey! were trying…
This is my favourite Elvis song and it's took me over a week to get the piano as good as it can be although i do intend to give it another go but for now it will have to do.....plinky plonky as it is.........the vocal needs recording better as…
Hook sent me two mix's and i couldn't decide which sounded better so i thought i'd put both up and let you decide....this one has a bit of age to it and i love how the Banjo and the Piano work together....let me know what you decide.....thanks…
I found a cassette tape the other day from 1991 which turned out to be live to 2 track demos that Scartaglen did in the studio in preparation for our 3rd and (as it turned out) final album. This tune didn't make the cut for the record but I always…
Thats the total deal........I'm going to tune up in DADGAD and play along with you guys here. What a great full sound. This warms my heart might I say.
You're just kidding yourself if you thought I could resist the chance to add a bit of percussion to this wonderful song by Osckilo & Launched. I used Paiste Sound Discs to create a 3vs.4 polyrhythm against the delightful underlying 4/4 Spanish…
Merengues are fast arrangements with a 2/4 beat, originating from the Dominican Republic. The traditional instrumentation includes a "güira" (guiro), which is a percussion instrument that sounds like a scrapper. The Merengue güira is a cylinder…
Chris sent this track to me earlier today with the request that I add some percussion to it.
I had something different in mind.
After the first take I was afraid to return it to him, fearing that he would convert it to 23 edo or something…
Johnny Stones fabulous tune was playing on the juke-box in the cellar last night and Robert got up to do his thing but Reg told him to step down and let him have a go.Reg took over proceedings and blew everyone away down the cellar with his take…
As johnny says............great vocals mate.........you got it going on man, when you sing it like this, so much soul in your voice.........you are a soul man.
Reg has got a kinda Bluesy political thing going on this one.....he's been reading the paper and watching the news..........it's a little too long but i think he makes a point.......do you?
This was a collab i heard today on Songcrafters and was wondering wether to ask to have a go at it vocally when Tharek sent me message asking me to have a go so Thanks Tharek and Dave, i am more than pleased to give it a go. i loved this music…
Comments on Dave Berry's stuff
Why can everyone else play cool solos but not me! Bring up the main vox!
I'd bring up the solo and add reverb to put it 'up' among the stars with the strings!
what a great easy feelin vibe! The change up tempo kicks it good! Who needs the MTB...?
Yup, flying... also kinda reminds me of Queens work for the Flash Gordon film soundtrack at points and also UK (look them up)with their synth sounds.
I was relaxing, drifting down the river in a canoe then the song picked up! Nice solo, definately M.T.B. flavored.
