I really debated uploading this one. It's kind of weak production wise, but it was part of the album. You may love it, hate it, but I decided to keep everything intact. Warts and all...
We all know someone like this. Sometimes I'm like this. Anyway, recorded using my Epiphone semi-hollowbody. I love the gtr sound on this one. Again, it's older, so the sonic quality isn't anywhere near what I do now.
Yes, the guitar does sound great on this track.
It takes me back to when my late husband had an Epiphone semi acoustic, I always preferred it to the others.
Well, this is why I don't play drums. It's the best Moon I could pull off. I keep hammering the gtr riff over and over, but it's because it was so much fun to play. Its structure is a little too meandering in hindsight, but oh well. For whatever…
So, I get this e-mail from a friend who had gone to NYC for a conference. At this conference she meets the love of her life, and the weekend turns into a steamy one spent locked in a hotel room. Slight problem...she was already married. She didn…
Turn this one up REALLY FREAKING LOUD!
Written, recorded and polished off in about 45 minutes or so. Clearly my British influence shines forth in this one, right down to the SG through a Vox amp tones and backward riffs here and there. (and…
Well, this one is b***s to the wall rock and roll, gfox style. ;P
I just wanted to do this basic loud chunka-chunka riff with the thumping kick-drum. However, the refrain (this song has no chorus) was something that I really liked singing. For…
This was supposed to be keyboard only, then the gtr part came and just kind of took it over. You should hear the original demo, it is very, very different. I happen to really like this song though, and for some reason love my little keys solo…

This song is one that got left on the cutting room floor back in early 2005. It's fun to play, but the drums are almost too mechanical (they're real) for my taste. I thought I would finally let it out of the attic, even though it doesn't have…

Had the chorus idea floating in my head for a number of years, but never had the inspiration to do anything with it. Then a friend died and this song came out of me staring out the window in the cold of January 2005 wondering what the hell to…

This song has a tale similar to Left Me Wondering. This was made up on the mic, both gtr and vox. Unlike Left Me Wondering however, I went back and overdubbed some backing harmonies and I also did a little extra GTR on it too.
What's fun about…
Thanks man...you've got some awesome songs yourself...like this one...great tune...kinda "Kinks"-y....I love the vocal harmonies on your stuff...
cheers,

Originally conceived as a mellow-ish, Stephen Stills sounding number (at least the verses), then the chorus came to me out of nowhere and turned the whole song on it's ear. I think that was for the better. I have to admit that I surprised myself…
This one is a personal favorite of mine, though it got savaged on Garageband.com. Ah well...
It has a lot of parts, lots of gtrs, and boatloads of harmonies. Actually, one guy on Garageband loved it. Maybe some day I will buy him a drink.
Listen…

Be careful. She's pretty powerful.
SHE WALKS
She walks on the leaves without making a sound
She walks like she can’t hear the dragons all around
She walks and the sun stays a pace or two behind
She walks with your secrets in the back…
Welcome to my day on the river with Karen, folks.
INTO THE LIGHT (THIS LAZY RIVER)
Take me down to the river
Throw the jackets in the hull of the boat
Let the current deliver
To the bend at the bridge where it’s harder to float
What…
Diminished Wattage - The first single from the Signals|Noise album. This song is based on an actual conversation where it was insisted that the fog in San Francisco is not real, but rather a chemical produced by the government. This actually inspired…
This is not about choosing sides, it's about being disillusioned and angry. Feels good to shout behind loud guitars. Thanks Steve Litras for the guitar solo.
All the drones march in lock step into the rally where our protagonist is swept into world of fear that only feeds his paranoia. This will make sense when the complete album released, I promise. :-)
We try to include a song about a donkey on each record. This is a factually accurate tale of Romulus, the world's tallest donkey.
lyrics
Romulus is 12 years old and 17 hands
At 5 foot 8 he’s taller than Oklahoma Sam
The world’s tallest donkey…
Pop music. Dance songs. Sub bass. Lovely ladies in Cornwall singing along. What more could you want?
lyrics
This is the least impressive dance song
You’ve heard out on the dance floor
But as you listen to it
You want MORE MORE MORE…
The last place you can go in any time zone is Howland Island.
Can’t get this out of my head
The last words that you said
Tried to make you stay
Still you went away
You think you understand
But you’re just a man
This thing is bigger…

Do I have to wake today?
will I have to go to hell?
well, the seasons in the sub are close and toasty lover
come on and try me if you will…
Very quick to write and record. Basically done from start to finish in about an hour and a half (I look at the clock).
Despite it's brevity, there's quite a lot going on (especially in how exact I've tried to be with the harmonies, and double…
Written for the RPM2017 (album in a month) challenge.
The 70s vibe should be obvious, and this was written on electric piano, (unusually for me). The opening keys riff is one of the only moderately funky sounding things I can play. I am not…

Very nice gritty guitar sounds!

Hardly a wart, Gary, this is great.
Yes, the guitar does sound great on this track. It takes me back to when my late husband had an Epiphone semi acoustic, I always preferred it to the others.

Comments made by Gary Fox
Very ethereal, nice one...
I love this song, Keith.
This is very cool and eclectic record. Nice work!
I want to see this song played live in a dark sweaty club.
Cool number, love the tone of it!
You should hear this in the cold wind of NH right now. It fits perfectly. Nice one!
Great song! I think it's time to take this album on the road.
I have to tell you, this is a great sounding record!
Dude, this is a kick-@$$ album...
I really like the interplay between the guitars in the left-right channels. Nice chorus hook!
Cool track! Need more instrumentals in my life...
And finally, the donkey song. I was getting worried.
I love this, except that I can't get it out of my head. I keep wanting...more
I really like this number.
Love the guitar work on this.
These are some great, trippy songs, my good sir. Love the twists...
Very cool, very, very cool.
Great guitar intro, cool song.
Holy...those harmonies...wow...wow.
1977! Dude, this is brilliant. Absolutely brilliant!
