Tesla...maybe the smartest man that ever lived.

Who invented remote control? TESLA
Who invented the fluorescent light? TESLA

And who died alone and forgotten in 1943? TESLA
So, you say now, “Don’t…
Very moving, and thought provoking.
I think it's adaptable to all types of singing styles too. For example, I can see myself playing this on my acoustic guitar.
So I was locked in the broom-cupboard, checking out some old songs that need recording.
I'd just picked one and then suddenly this thing came out of nowehere. It started with one of those guitarist doodles that other musicians love so much…
The tension in this is palpable from the first question. The quiver in the voice. The nakedness of the questions. "Often forget you understand." Hard to hear as just another blues song.
i was trying to work on a piece for a shark video of mine, but this is what came out instead,, my piano moments collections are the small musical threads that emerge amongst/while i am working/thinking about other things,,,
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…

A bit of improv done yesterday with my newly refurbished fretless guitar. Finally got the midi pickup to track almost right! Part of the sounds were gotten by rubbing a teaspoon on the strings.
A song for all the rainbow people; musicians, artists and healers, to name but a few.
A true collaboration for Jip and Lady Jane as they meet up for the first time in 32 years and, together with Mike and his witty one liners, come up with this…
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…
This is an ode for a good friend of mine that had took his own life at the end of last year. I was in the midst of writing some other songs and it stopped me in my tracks. I just wrote basically how I felt about this tragic ending to a very special…
Had written this one many years ago. I had it recorded originally in a different key and with different instrumentation but it I just was not happy with it. I deleted the original lyrics for the chorus and added a bridge section and lyrics. I…

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.
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…
Alone for the weekend so here's another.....Reg has really got to stop being a peeping Tom he's going to get caught one of these days.......

I do like the sounds James, The book of JOB. If anyone really had a pure understanding of it Nothing more would be needed.
MMMMMMMMMMMM!.
Great job. Thanks.
Just to say: you're cool man, James!
Fabulous
Great flowing vocals and interplay of sounds and instruments!
Now that is one *beep* of a storytelling song :)
Well, you got that off your chest quickly,
Very, very clever. And excellent guitar & mandolin work. I love it! Totally pro!
Really like this. I like the tempo very much and the native American sounding backing singing too. great track.
This one is a little bizarre, but very clever and really well done.
A very good song JM. Excellent lyrics, backing vocals and construction. One of the best of yours in my humble opinion.
Stunning harmonious voices here. Beautiful song JM.
Excellent!!
Wow ... quite a contrast to your last tune. You certainly know how to catch my attention. This is great!
Very moving, and thought provoking. I think it's adaptable to all types of singing styles too. For example, I can see myself playing this on my acoustic guitar.

Nice touch.
Love this song. Great job.
Love the blending of sounds...especially the voices.
Great groove. Is that a midi bass? It's sooo clean.
Very cool song...
Perfect combination of words, voice and ambient sounds.
The tension in this is palpable from the first question. The quiver in the voice. The nakedness of the questions. "Often forget you understand." Hard to hear as just another blues song.
Richard, Tell me more about this spell we have fallen under.James Michael Taylor
Your guitar playing is fine. Sounds like something Leonard Cohan would do.
That's really pretty. If you double your vocal tracks and use one each with less effect the words would be understandable.
Very cosmic. I'd like to see that guitar.
Charming...
Very nice... Like something in a musical. The voice doesn't sound like Freddy Mercury but has the dramatic tension...
Fine tribute. A sadness we all share sooner or later.
...something very Dylan about it. Especially like it where you break it down to just your voice and the arpeggios.
Really like this one. So many references. The Band, Queen. Nice vocal. Love the progression.
Great guitar harmony work.
Very Pink Floyd/Beatles like. Very restful.
Like the funkyness of it.
Like how it grows. Swells and fades. Like the "radar" beep...
