I have always loved jazz and blues but never really had the chops to really play jazz. But I can feel it and I tried to create that feel with this tune using my sweet old 63 jazzmaster. This was also an experiment in doing a complete time change…
woke up from a bad sleep because there was a mosquito in my room driving me crazy ... I had no words to this tune and just spontaneously put down what ever came into my head and sang it .

I use to have a studio in a small city and most days I would see these two fella's walking the streets or asking for some change. They were a visual part of my life so much that if I didn't see them for a day or two I would wonder where they went…

Well I started this with a little guitar groovin' thing I was playing with and laid it down to a click track thinking I was going to just keep it just guitar , bass and vocals and off it went.
This song really is just all about life moving by…

Found a interesting sounding indian instrument via the computer world and strummed out chords on my lil midi guitar. Added some percussion, strings and a flute.
I've posted this "Naked" version because Mrs Russe wanted me to... :-)
It wasn't "finished" in my mind - there was a certain amount of "orchestration" to come.
But I ended up liking the starkness of this version.
The original intention…
Quite nice in this stripped down version ... love the subtle organ ... the simplicity adds to the sense of starkness and the melody is very effective with the words.
A complete re-vamp of a 6 year old song. Sure I wrote the lyrics while on holiday in Majorca, rewrote a couple of lines, picked up me ole guitar last week & just played this tune & it all seem to fit. Could need a lay down now !!!!
Hey James ... the lead synth sounds almost retro but played very experimentally agains the cool tribal beats. I like the way the synth pans around your head in the soundscape. I like it!
Happy New Year

Smear this all over your face. You know you want to, IT'S EAR Food!
(I once found a lobster trying to invade my space in that area while awakening on the shore of a Tropical Island post Shipwreck..)
I got me a new mic and a pre-amp and I picked up the Jumbo Eko (I'll do this again when my fingertips have recovered). I tried to do finger picking when I was a teen, but didn't pursue it as it seemed like too much hard work at the time. Today…

I’ve come this way like those before me
And those yet still to come
It fills me with a sense of wonder
To watch the rising sun
how many times
how many souls
Have acted out these scenes
It fills me with…
I like your words and there is a rawness to your performance that is quite appealing ... The actual recording is clipping ... recorded a bit too hot but the strong songwriting makes up for it..
The core of the music is heavily inspired by Joni Mitchell. Its been spinning around for years in my head so hearing this song finally recorded feels good.
I think this needs a guitar solo but i'm not capable of doing it so if anyone would like to give it a go i would love to hear what you could come up with its in C. Otherwise i'm quite happy with it...now with a solo by Billy Jack
Please Don…
The Hammered Dulcimer melody haunted me for weeks, but it didn't come together until Jamie played drums on it. Takes a long time to pay off, but I hope if you hang with it, you'll dig where it gets too.
Okay , this may be my last Hendrix cover for awhile. I have been itching to record a few new original songs that are waiting in the wings. These covers were fun to do and I discovered alot about the songs I didnt no before. On this one I added…
Another collab with Jip, with me adding the vibes, pad of the orient, flute and vocals.
From the original da da da da das before I came up with any lyrics, I wasn't happy with any of the melodies. This is the result of me getting bored with…
in bed - cant sleep
go downstairs to pour a drink
the acs out, its hot as shit
but you learn to get used to it
since you left, its been hard
leavin early from parties and bars
you wont pick up, you're over it
its been a while, im used to it…
