I wrote this thing in 1994. When I played it to some friends back then they went "yeah, but where's the rest of it?" I've been struggling with that concept ever since. Then, a while ago, a couple of kindly souls removed that worry from me…

Here we go. This one started out one morning several weeks ago when the sun was still shining... If it's as wet and dark as it is here, just close your eyes, I'm sure you can imagine it if you try hard enough... Lollies, chips, and beer…

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…

Here we go, a tender little rocker from the broom-cupboard... A tale of regrets and wotnots. For/to RL **** **Tiffany's Estate - A A J Russe** I wish I still had my position there A steady job on Tiffany's estate Each and every…

At last... I've managed to finish something. This was written months ago. I was about to try recording it with one or two others when this year's decorating started. With various buggered fingers, back muscles, etc, etc, I wasn't actually able…

I wrote this little ditty back in May, did an acoustic demo and then played it to one or two people. I always meant to do something a bit more, er, "expansive" with the thing... So I stuck it in the corner for a bit and forgot about it. Been…

This is one of the many songs going round my head from when I was young. No idea whose version I heard and used to sing along to back then, but it was written by Larry Collins and Alex Harvey. (EDIT: Done some research. It was Dottie West's…
