billy boy where did you go
sittin in a pile of snow
come on down its gettin cold
for the time is getting old
well we made our way to the old wigwam
frozen lake and wind was calm
standing bow did strike a deer
to feed the tribe…
Found a interesting sounding indian instrument via the computer world and strummed out chords on my lil midi guitar. Added some percussion, strings and a flute.

This is a bonus track of sorts for the mock EP It takes a village. I had the verse chord chages around for many years but just until last week the song and lyrics came together really quickly. I thought I heard a band arrangement originally but…

eyes all around
thought surveillance, the fighting on the ground
dont abuse the diguise the one they made,
should never be altered
now we fear , the words we say, descent in
the shadows
we must hide to survive the thought police their searching…
Very nicely arranged! And I can't help but be concerned at exactly how many are righting George Orwell/1984esque music right now :) Something is distinctly wrong in the world...

Demo version of a song I've been messing with.
I know what they're missing... The only girl.
I know what they're missing... The one and only in the world.
words by oldrottenhead
music by hooper
I’ve come this way like those before me
And those yet still to come
It fills me with a sense of wonder
To watch the rising sun
how many times
how many souls
Have acted out these scenes
It fills me with…
I am working on some Mantra style songs...I hope this inspires you to press into the Mystery.
I am one face of the Divine...just like you are. Let's share our passions, our struggles, ourselves with one another. Let's grow in love...let us…
For you to speakSo it seems we lost our voice
Stripped down bare on copper line
Raw to subtle ears
I wait
On the line
I wait for you to speak
Of some good news to hear
While we talk ....
Can you speak your mind
I still wait for that old voice…
I must admit
I love fallen in love with you
It's not the easiest thing
but, what's a gal to do
I've been so good
I might even be a southern baptist
I must admit
I love fallen in love with you
I don't care that I'm just in the air
and another…
The imagery created in just 1 1/2 min is amazing. I am picturing an old house in the south, a big willow tree its dusk and a woman on the steps of the porch singing.

Reg went out last night to a bonfire party....Man does he meet some strange women...........so he got his £16 special down from the wall and penned this little ditty in rememberence...........
I felt her Pain (Lyrics)
i was the stranger in town…
This song started as the riff on my Strat while fooling around with some FX. I knew it needed to be a big dance number, and then realized there is a great story about the power of music and dance, which I hid in the lyrics. See if you can figure…
This one started as a the title line while driving in my car. All I had was the line and it's melody. I built the song around that about 6 months later. The lyrics are self explanatory.
Never been happy with the original mix as it butchered Phil's drum work. He did an amazing job, and deserved better. So this is better...not as good as his playing, but better than it was.
Lyric:
I was doing a search there on Yahoo

My second entry for Beatlesfest II at Songcrafters. This is a cover from the John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band album.
Dueling novachords help tell the story of a world where the future may not be so bright...
Thanks for listening.

Great tune.Well done.
Great thing to listen to first thing - I think my get up and go just got here :)
Aw - this is the biz. Love the driving rhythm and the story telling vibe to the lyrics.
This one is really nice
Love the different sounds you create
Good stuff
I like the mood of this a lot.
nicely written
very nice - you have a great style to your music
Very nicely arranged! And I can't help but be concerned at exactly how many are righting George Orwell/1984esque music right now :) Something is distinctly wrong in the world...
This is really beautiful song, great recording as well, like the way ot builds... nice one :)
Totally hooked from the first few bars
Excellent production. Guitar and synth's sound great. Like the melody ... Nice to hear music with a strong melody hook. This is well done! SG
Oh yeah, nice one. Big sound. You've got those synths and guitars working well together.
George Orwell tried to warn us. Now . . . here we are. Nice way to put it into a song.
Class.
STONKING lol

Nice Stan. Very Soulful ...love how it opens up a bit at 3:30. Made my morning.
the guitars have a underlying feel dread just under the vocal. the emotion was captured perfectly.
Really good song KL. Probably the most honest way to display a song is to do it just like it was written. Top track.
this is excellent! kind of reminds me of Still you turn me on by ELP.
love the message. your spirit shines thru.
Love that line, Striped down bare on copper line. Very nice writing.
Damn rippin solo at the end man! Good God!Eating fretboards for lunch!
:)

Top notch! Has a Zeppy feel. Another good track.
I know I have gave your tunes an ear before...this is some magical stuff. I will be searching thru your catalog often...
This is down low. Painful is the feeling captured here alright.
this is awesome! I am love this style of playing right in the realm of Hedges and Andy Mckee.
Big and Bad is your signature!
Its like a beautiful mixture of Deep Purple, and ELO to name a couple.
I always felt ballads in 3/4 allow the singer to emphasis the vocal anx lyrics. This is a great example.
Nice lively pro mix, great song. Love that halftime section!
ahhhh....great rendition.:)
That is some skankin'funk.
Made a beautiful.melody even more enchanting.
