Must say I'm with her. Truthful? Truthiness at best. Simple? Simpletons. There used to be boring talking heads on TV. Now there are little more than yapping faces. Things will get better when they STFU. Just me talking.
Since you've all been such good boys and girls this year, I decided I should give you all a present. Here is a song written by yours, truly, and sung by the incredible Inge Meijer. I can't say enough about what an great job she did on the song…
This is a rough demo recording of a solo marimba composition from 2000. This is part 3 of a 3 part piece [1. Once (marimba) 2. Twice (marimba) 3. Three Times (marimba)]
I took an old track that was a cover of Hear my train and dropped the vocals and added some new electric guitar tracks. I had just upgraded my recording setup and was testing some hardware and software when I did this. It has a punchy lil guitar…
Liked this very much. If I might make an observation, your songs sound like there is, or should be, a vocal track running through them. I don't know if you did vocals or have lyrics for these, but I found myself adding my own melody and finding my own lyrics to go with the music.

A rough and ready audience recording of my set at open mic night at Queens Park Centre, Aylesbury.
Setlist:
Stand Up But Not To Fall
Revolution
All Was Nothing
Been listening to all of your selections and I must say I'm impressed. Your lyrics are very thoughtful and your songs are excellent. Will be back to listen to more.

Acoustic love song. Written and recorded between Christmas 2010 and the New Year.
I'd just finished recording Elizabeth's Room and was tooling up to record a pop-rock song when this little beast popped out of nowhere, almost perfectly formed…
I thought it would be fitting to post this today, on Memorial Day, as a tribute to my friend William Easley, as well as all who have fought and died in wars, American or otherwise.
Sometime back in the 60's William (Billy from here on) heard…
This is like a mission for the Doom Patrol
I need a robot body for my brain
Miss Callas calls
the dopamine exhanges
the sound of down
And there is danger everywhere
the scissor men are coming
House of icons
Felt like cards
The brilliant…
One more instrumental before I move on to the vocals...
I came up with this riff one hazy night when I was 19. I'm in my 30s now, and rather more sober, but I still like playing this. It felt good to finally flesh it out.
Been listening to all of your selections and enjoyed them very much. I like the steady beats and find myself creating melodies for some of the tunes. Will be back for more.

The theme for Improv Friday this week is "variations". So here's an improv reconstruction of the one classical piece I know, Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.
A friend of mine once called this kind of jam session "noodling", as in "straight from your noodle (pointing to his head) to the guitar". This is a primo "noodling" session.

Well, here's a REAL oldie. This is the one my kids like me to play most when we're in the backyard with the fire pit and the sun going down. They play gently through the first 4:07... And then run around like maniacs for the last 1:20.

Rock on! I dig the grinding, grungy riff. The mix-down is very good -- the vocal track is clean and clear. I like that.
Good work on the guitar - groovy song

Real catchy song, nice one :)
Sweet and swinging ... :)
ooh really interesting sound on the solo!!!

Listened to the entire album and enjoyed every song. ER
This is certainly a departure for you. I keep expecting the guitar to kick in along with the drums and base. This is intriguing, though. ER
Listened to several selections and liked what I heard. Sometimes your guitar work reminds me of one of my faves: Robin Trower. Well done. ER

Sounds very good, sir. Wish I was there. ER
Love the harmonies. ER
Like this a lot. And NONE of us are supermen. ER
Been listening to all of your selections and I must say I'm impressed. Your lyrics are very thoughtful and your songs are excellent. Will be back to listen to more. ER
Very nice. You sound a bit like Mister Jagger if he did a slow song. ER
I've been listening to your selections, and I like the music very much. I also find your lyrics most intriguing. Will be back to listen again. ER
Very nice folk song. Well done. ER
Just stopped by to listen to a few of your tunes. Sounds good! ER
Listened to all the selections and liked what I heard. Keep up the good work. ER
Righteous work on the guitar. ER
I knew several teachers. Love this song. Right on, brother. ER

This was excellent. One of my many failings is the inability to fingerpick anywhere near as well as this. Well done. ER

Run around like a maniac? I do that at work every day. Nice playing. I'll bet the kids all fall down at the end. :-) ER
Very nice. Liked it a lot. ER
