Stripped down, I almost did this one as a live, one take vox and gtr "on-mike" bit. I did the song, kind of liked, but decided to do a tracked version, just to see what it would sound like. Ended up liking it more.

This Lovin’ Cup- I was watching the idiot box and just holding my guitar when this little vamp on a B chord came out of nowhere. Using the same recorder, I recorded about 20 seconds of the riff. The lyrical idea came on the trip to Chicago, while…

Mr. Fox,,, your magic is powerful,, this piece captures/pulls me into a world of my own memories, feelings,, thoughts,,, hopes,,, dreams,,,,rememberences (think i just made this word up) this music is like a liquid impressionest painting,,, a place to get lost, and perhaps if lucky found again
thank you very much Richard

This is probably the most tender song I've heard from you. I have felt the same way about a woman, and prayed that moment would never pass even though I knew it would.
Nicely done.

I can hear this being played in a smoke-filled bar, and see semi-drunken patrons bouncing on the dance floor while the song plays. Great song for a live band.

Matter Of Fate- This song started as a riff I was doing while tuning my guitar. It sounded cool, so I happened to record it on a small dictation recorder I have so I wouldn’t forget it. When I listened to the riff it just screamed Sticky Fingers…

Figure Out- There are about 4-5 takes of this song, all different. The song started off in the key of D, but I couldn’t hit the notes in the chorus. I then tried it in A, but it was lacking drive and energy. I tried it in G, but I couldn’t get…

Hold On- Ok, this one is really hard. Not in a rock sense, but other ways. Musically, this song really dances on the line of schmaltz, and a few times, trips over it. I had a hard time singing some of the lines, since I don’t have a pretty voice…

Well, what can I say here? I knew I wanted to do this one with a pseudo dark, smoky old jazz club feel. I kind of pulled it off, but not completely. The song itself was a happy accident riff. I picked up my acoustic, threw a capo on for fun and…
Way Kool! Holly crap you have written some great songs...so many! Only had time to get thru 2 set lists. I will be back to listen to the rest. Great mix, great sound, cool voice! I dig it!
Well, Well, Well- There is still unadulterated, unabashed love in the world. Yes, the song is masculine sounding, no shock there, since I am a guy. However, despite a friend’s comments to the contrary, I didn’t intend this song to be about getting…
I was going of to bed but when I saw this track by Redler on the collaborations board over on Songcrafters http://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=19632.0 i had to investigate ....i heard it.....and jumped on it ....i can always have…
Quick recording of a new set of pipes I'm working on. Long winded explanation- prior to the late 19nth century most Irish pipes featured very small bores and finger holes and were pitched well below modern concert pitch. I've always loved them…
Just an experiment from a while back using multiple delay units. I hated it initially, but after not hearing it for a few months I decided there were enough interesting moments to warrant sharing.
This is a Phil Keaggy tune. I swiped his original loop and then built my own thing on top of it. Might have been longer, but my volume swell effect keeps slipping out of sync with everything else. May work on it more at a later date
Hi everyone.. I wrote this song for Archie Watson, son of my dear friends Lauren and Bradley Watson, who sadly was diagnosed with Tay-Sachs disease just before Christmas. Tay-sachs is a rare genetic disorder for which there is currently no cure…
Nice groove, great feel. Love the strut to this one. Great collection of songs; thanks for brightening this Saturday morning. Perfect fit for the day here...
Let me introduce to you
Every woman child and man
The place I did my growing up
Raised by grandma's hand
I think you'll find
That folks are kind
They're sure to ask you in
Enter the warmth
Close the door
And my story will begin…
A dramatisation of events from school.. hope 'Shaun' never hears this, and if he does, that he likes it in someway, and that things turned out alright in the end..
It was always rainin.
It filled him up
It summed it up
So perfectly
How nothing…
Tell me can you teach me bout your finely written poetry
Dont care about the content I just want to make em notice me
Such a fine hand they'd say wooo, study it closely
Been practicing all day I think I'm ready least I aughta be.
Caligraphy…
It aint like no ones done this before
But how can you tire of beautiful chords
In the fifties
In Tenessee
Where my love
was born
Two young men upped and
crossed the yard
both cold cos it was rainin hard.
One of them turned said…
Getting kind of sci-fi here, and I really went overboard with the samples.
It's like if George Clinton and Arjen Lucassen collaborated on a funk electronica piece after watching The 13th Floor on nonstop repeat for three weeks.
Freesound…
I went a little sample crazy this year for the RPM challenge. (This song is the tip of the iceberg, and then it gets far worse.)
Thematically, I guess this one resulted from spending a month between the hospital and a rehab facility last year…
Comments on Gary Fox's stuff
I think the last fifteen seconds could be different.
good story about writing the song. Really well made genuine piece. sentinment and cadence and simplicity.
Reminds me of Kings X, very cool, great rock vox! -Jim L.
Holy crap your are so cool. This is incredible, blues rock, rock it, yeah.
Yes this is nice, very nice. I frigging love this song.
.....It's just GREAT!

I'm glad you didn't forget this riff. It turned into a very nice song. ER
Very sweet song. I like that sorta stutter to the rhythm. great vocals.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
Superlative stuff as usual, Gary. And of course your recording skills continue to amaze me!
great one. I must have missed this one GF. Catchy lil riff you've got there too.
Another gem of your great rocking style. You are very good, very good.
Yea, you have inspiration by the bucketload to pull a great song like this out of a tuning exercise. This is wonderful.
Fantastic! You really sing this well Gary.
Kicks ass! GREAT GF cut! w;-)

Damn... Love this song.
Comments made by Gary Fox
Great stomping feel on this, cool number!
Great song!
Very nice!
Just perfect.
I like the swirling nature of this. Glad you decided to put it out for us to hear.
Another fine piece of music! Volume pedal and e-bow? Not sure, doesn't matter anyway. Sounds so open and spacious. Love it...
Great sounds, great piece! Is that a volume pedal I hear? Excellent all around, Kirk! Cheers, Gary
I just love this song. In a musical sense, I fall in love with it all over again every time I hear it.
Nice work Lady Jane!
Love the tones...
Cool experimental stuff 34!

Great song.
Great twang and slide. Cool song, very cool.
Wow, what a great use of reverb. This has a fantastic mood. And the bells. Awesome.
Great number.
Great playing, killer lyrics. Very, very tasty.
Sweet creamy music. Sounds like a hot day driving through the country. Excellent.
Awesome
MiniMoog? Great!
