Sadly, an unfinished track I recorded about the time I ran out of money. Back when I was writing four or five tunes a day. Played guitars, mandolin, keyboards, and I'm guessing it's my original keyboard drum and bass parts that I did at home…
A couple of Irish jigs I wrote and recorded on piano (using either Reason or Cubase and EWQLSO, I really don't remember) a few years ago. The arrangement is incomplete and one I meant to add a little icing to. I may have to dig up the Reason file…

Kavin told me to swing by and check out your music. I have been checking out your RPM to start (as I've had time today and have really enjoyed it. I like that layers that you build upon with the riffs and how you create a nice atmosphere within each piece. I will be back by for a more in depth listen and it looks like I have a lot of listening in the coming days. :) -JG

"Happy To Meet" really nice!
All of these are, Doug! I've been sitting here through the whole CD. Not just sayin', but I love this CD. And I'll be late for supper, friends picking me up! Thank you so much for this! I'll be back!!
Doug, Just came in from mowing lawn, a very large lawn, I am tired! But, had to check my FB news feed and found your post re: Sweet Dreams Come Drifting. Am playing it now! 3rd time! It is beautiful! I saw where someone said "you don't give yourself enough credit" and I agree! I turn up the volume and I just "float" (LOL) around here doing my housework while listening! Not a musician, just know a great sound when I hear it! Thank you for sharing!

Another rainy morning, lazy mood, and I am listening, Doug, to the Old Stone Bridge tracks and enjoying! I am not a musician, just a lover of good music! Thanks for this and the many unheard yet!

I like a bit of Mr Young and often do a few of his songs at open mike nights etc. this is one recorded as it happened onto a hand held recorder. bit rough round the edges, but so is Neil.
Well the votes are in and nobody, who has commented, seems to think I have offended against Satie with this. That's kind of cool because this really is one of my favourite pieces of music and one that I hope, one day, to be able to play myself…
Kublai Khan attacked on Fukuoka Prefecture in 1281, mobilizing 140,000 soldiers and 4,000 ships. The Japanese defenders, numbering around 40,000, were no match for the Mongols and the invasion force made it as far as Dazaifu, 15 kilometers south…
for REALZ, this is way far from being done. this is an oldie from a previous duo I was in, VC Andrews, (http://www.myspace.com/vcandrews) and i wanted to give it new life. Listen to the old version at the myspace page to hear how it's going to…
Memories of walking a coonhound in the small hours around the empty structures of Baltimore's Artscape festival before dawn- silent ferris wheel standing behind the rows of booths, vacant carnival installations on the Charles St Bridge. In this…

I've been working on this one little by little; now I'm at a point where I do not feel like revisiting the feeling. Moves from 3/4 to 4/4, or so I think.. kind of like a 7/4 time sig but not really. typical glu instrumentation, etc.
Everyone…
This is a real old tune. I remember about 81 or so. My brother Asa wrote it.
I felt like recording something, so this is it.
A rude kinda fun song with that cowboy stylin' :)
Lyrics:
It didn't take me long
to find out you were wrong
when you…
Similar in feel to the other Fragile Moment track. Mostly acoustic guitars recorded sitting in my shop on the H4N and then finished up in Cubase just this morning. September 9 09. Maybe a nice one for bedtime
Glu and Sister Savage bring you these remixes!

Oh my goodness! What an absolutely beautiful track! I love it! w;-)
Anthemic and slick - hoping you find the time/space to finish this one and write another 4 or 5 a day. Hope things are good, Doug.
Fantastic track!
Nice Doug! Hope you and family are well. Marla
A breath of fresh air. I love it! w;-)
Pretty melody Doug. It deserves finishing. I can hear a more rock type layer over parts of this. That would be cool. Nice to see you here.
