I am currently working on a Concept album with a good friend of mine and great musician/ guitarist Chuck D. Although this track does not feature Chuck , it was developed based on the chord progression he came up with which opens the song up. We…
@ fallinupart, just sharing the progression of this tune from the beginning. And in the process driving alonetoners mad! Lol! Thank u for the comments and listens...again and again. ,)
I've been messing about with my virtual keyboard this week, in preparation of an amazing collaboration I'll be working on soon :)

Salty air smokey lungs
Footprints in the sand

Rain for three days no sun Autumn Winter just around the corner....i dont feel so good.....i think i've got S.A.D.. everything is going Grey.......I need some colour and theres at least 5 months of Grey left to suffer ....Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!..........
Started listening the other day and was pulled away by a smoke stack diaper change!! Love the middle part also...its a break from that main riff. Love the harp playin!
Oh, it's fall again,
Autumn leaves are sweeping in,
Came and went like the tides.
Oh, chills on the wind again,
Eating through our clothes,
Aching our blood cells.
Oh, where is home again,
With fire in our hearts,
And love on our shoulders…
Wedding march written a long time ago for a friend and a failed marriage. The song symbolizes hope and trust in the face of fear. The composition is all that's left of that now, but, it still means something. Not our usual, so please don't…
This is the third, maybe forth time I recorded this tune.
I like this one best.

a fine disguise
they came from across the sea
always moving closer
my eyes could see
then they called in the calvary
First just a…
As a surprise for the missus (she gets out of hospital tomorrow after a 9 week stay) I've revamped a little ditty I wrote for her. I thought I'd put an Elvis slant on it including the ridiculous club style ending. I also slipped a bit of a British…

James, why so many versions? I'm not complaining; they're all very good listening.
Another fine version lol!
..those eight fingers on your left hand come in useful, don't they, James? ...awestruck..

Jeff Beckish playin! Nice whammy theatrics!
