Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift.
The cat is on the chair
And I watch him as he stares
The sky is changing fast
I see the boats sail past
And the winter's closing in
I can feel the changes from within
Tomorrow…

Well, this started with a ukulele riff and then kind of took off from there. I enjoyed rockin' with the uke ... added a guitar rhythm, a bass track some drums and vocals and here we go! I've played in a few bars over the years and have seen my…
I started this thinking it would be a tune with the emphasis on my guitar but as it progressed I heard horns and then all these other things happened and this is what I ended up with.

Another song that is entirely in 7/8. I like this one a little bit even though the riff seems a bit forced. The guitars are all Les Paul.
I won’t try to hold you back
I won’t try to keep you down
I just want to build you up
I just want…
Good rocker ...finesound on the drums especially with this odd timing.
There's nothing like a Les Paul for this style of tune. Excellent guitar work .... thick crunchy rhythm and killer wah! That cymbal crash at the end sounds great.
Apologies to George but I love the song. Its shocking to find out that Paul and John rejected it until George dragged Eric to the studio one day. Imagine the White Album without this...
no effects of any type on this for good or ill.

Jan 17 2015 - Remixed. I was always kinda disappointed with what the original mix sounded like. Listening to it the other day I realised what it is - I'd mixed the vocals too loud. This reduced the "stereo" and killed off a lot of the life…
beautifully composed ... love the bass and piano at the start ... great when it kicks in ...like the nuances like the strings and electric guitar bits ... a well produced and mixed piece that takes you on a few dynamic journeys ...the ending rocks ... strong vocals.
Had this one written before the end of year. Finally hit the record button a couple of weeks ago with some electric rythym guitar tracks and built it from there. I was having a problem getting the song to mix right and had an idea to try a different…
You've got some nice originals ... this has that catchy hook feel to it.
The organ is a nice touch in the chorus?bridge. I hear a touch of Petty and a hint of Brian Adams but it's totally you.
Just me and my acoustic.
I've just learned how to record both at the same time.
I didn't know this song the day before this recording.
It was done in one take, with dodgy guitar playing, wrong lyrics and sore throat :)
A lil rocker influenced by some of my faves, Springsteen, Petty etc.. well i left my home and family
and made my way out west
i lost my job at the steel mill
im a hoping for the best
in this life
for my kids and wife
just outside of Davenport…
Great tune James. It does touch a place in that whole Springsteen Jackson Browne feel that I love so much. Great performance. Some nice piano and sax ... good tune!
Next in the little pile of songs from the shoe-box. This one has the date 27th January 1994 written on it, but it's describing an episode from many years earlier when I was, I'm guessing, something like 12 or 13 years old.
I had to go to a…
eyes all around
thought surveillance, the fighting on the ground
dont abuse the diguise the one they made,
should never be altered
now we fear , the words we say, descent in
the shadows
we must hide to survive the thought police their searching…
I was flapping around working on something else with just vocal and guitar the other day. It wasn't going well, so I just started slapping the guitar and singing one of my favourite songs.
What I didn't realise was that I was recording it…
billy boy where did you go
sittin in a pile of snow
come on down its gettin cold
for the time is getting old
well we made our way to the old wigwam
frozen lake and wind was calm
standing bow did strike a deer
to feed the tribe…

Nice slide and picking' ... cool brush sound on the kit ... the orchestration/synth meds really well with the acoustic ...
Good rocker ...finesound on the drums especially with this odd timing. There's nothing like a Les Paul for this style of tune. Excellent guitar work .... thick crunchy rhythm and killer wah! That cymbal crash at the end sounds great.
Excellent!!! Digin' the guitar feedback ... great groove ... the keys give it that retro feel. Cool playing ... very improvisational leads ...
George my fav Beatle who in my opinion wrote some of the best material ... enjoyed your take on a great song!
Love the sound of those pickups! This is rockin" .... too short.
beautifully composed ... love the bass and piano at the start ... great when it kicks in ...like the nuances like the strings and electric guitar bits ... a well produced and mixed piece that takes you on a few dynamic journeys ...the ending rocks ... strong vocals.
Very funky ... excellent rhythm and a bit of Jimi and SRVaughan in the lead. You make that guitar sing.
Good name for a band ... too bad.
Wow! this song really sucks!!
Two ukes? ... are they baritone ukes? This is awesome! Great groove and enjoyable vocals. Good tune!
Nice feel and smooth vocals .... very nice.
You've got some nice originals ... this has that catchy hook feel to it. The organ is a nice touch in the chorus?bridge. I hear a touch of Petty and a hint of Brian Adams but it's totally you.
Very nice.
Great tune James. It does touch a place in that whole Springsteen Jackson Browne feel that I love so much. Great performance. Some nice piano and sax ... good tune!
This has a great feel/soul to it. Nice guitar playing and a great delivery of some fine lyrics.
Excellent production. Guitar and synth's sound great. Like the melody ... Nice to hear music with a strong melody hook. This is well done! SG
Great vocals! and a real FEEL version of a great tune ...
Thank you all for your wonderful comments!
