Okay Andrew R. , this ones for you bud. Had a little fun with it in the intro. That was the surprise.
I put the bass line down and arranged the drums Saturday morning and returned later that night about 10:00 pm . I worked until 2 am and laid…
Having more fun with Hendrix. I tried to stay true to the original as far as using no overdubs. Just one guitar, bass, drum and vocal track. Kind of used a mix approach and used a bit from the record and a bit from his live performance in Winterland…
Okay , this may be my last Hendrix cover for awhile. I have been itching to record a few new original songs that are waiting in the wings. These covers were fun to do and I discovered alot about the songs I didnt no before. On this one I added…
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…
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…

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.

Lets dig up an old one. In another time & space had to come up with a song with the line 'Solar Radiation and a New Pair of Boots' in it. I came up with this little ditty... Blame Steve Krell !!!!!!
Well last night just as i was of to bed , there was a knock on the door of the cellar and it was John & George they had come for a sess and i mean who was i to deny them…..they'd heard of the Beatle fest from Elvis…he could never keep quiet…
Tis a true story about a friend, I was fascinated by the concept of friends sharing one black "funeral" dress passing it along like it was a hip handbag
She went to work like any other day
It didn't hit her till that package came
The first…
Dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, human beings...it's all the same.

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…
I need an electric geeetar. My weary old Crafter electroacoustic picks up every touch. 'Scuse the solo, I'm only a strummer..
Anyway, the song. Clogging up my brain, had to get it out. Some lasses don't know what they look like, and some lads…
A song for a wet day in Sheffield Thanks Johnny.......another one for the Zep album.........I will have to sort out that first verse..........but i hope you enjoy..........
Bob got in the act on this one and we had Elvis on Keys..Hope you enjoy......

Another lyrically-challenged collaboration with jip1965, who sent me a guitar, bongo, percussion track with a recorder playing named, simply, 'Love'.
I added the piccolo, crystals and windchimes from my virtual keyboard, renamed it 'What is…
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.

Really great song. I like the melodic progression. Well written. I'd like to hear more like it!
Wonderful. Adding more instruments can't make this any better. It's perfect as it stands.

Its been awhile since I listened to your tunes. Great song here again! Refreshingly different than anything I have heard recently.
Nice tune. I like the story with a bit of humor.
Has a very cool Alice Cooper Vibe. Good song!
Really good! Very Righteous Bros time period. Love the vocals! Damn.
That is awesome! Ha! Love the operatic refrain:)
Its has a Clapton vibe and that intro is really hip. Nice tune.
Always have a twist on these covers that are fun.
That melody has to be one of the best ever written. Nice rendition)
Theatrical rendition...had me smiling all the way thru!
Oh yeah going to the big Ragu festival on this one! Jah Man!
Beautiful music. No need for lyrics here. Very mystical ambience going on.
Never heard the original but this will do just fine. Nice intimate recording.
I totally enjoyed that! Really nice and smooth harmonies.
Damn....nice collab guys! Cool production.
