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…
Great cover...kinda know where he's coming from, though more recently manic depression has been re-labelled a bipolar bear syndrome!:-)Oh yes, there's a song in that, I just haven't recorded it...yet!
I took an old track that was a cover of Hear my train and dropped the vocals and added some new electric guitar tracks. I had just upgraded my recording setup and was testing some hardware and software when I did this. It has a punchy lil guitar…
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…
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…
This was a one of the versions of Stay I was working on from a year and a half ago. I put a mic in a narrow hall way closet and went in recorded the guitar and vocal simultaneously. Hoping to get a break in the action and get one of my new songs…
Uploaded just in time for the 2013 peak of the Perseid meteor showers of 2013, which I definitely won't see, as our autumnal "maritime" (i.e. sh**ty) climate is doing its thing.
This is my arrangement of a wonderful romantic tune by the inimitable…
Had a bad back just of late (working to hard) so i put it in a song,and my favorite painkiller is ? you guessed it WHISKY.
PS The backs feeling much better now!

A song about a walk i took on a recent holiday....
At One (Lyrics)
I feel the thermal stir the air
I watch Life evolve before me everywhere
I see life's palette live and fluoresce
I feel, I feel at one
I feel at one with the sun
There's that…
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…

Writing this song was a very cathartic experience. This gamut of emotions took place in just one week - last week.
Unfortunately, I couldn't sing the first word without it sounding ridiculous, and so I decided to get back to my Northern roots…

Summer Breeze
The summer breeze
Brings it all back to me
starlight skies
Pull me to my knees to cry
But the Blue sky and the sun gives me hope
love will come to me again
The greys skies
Take my hope…
Here's the Who classic Regged a little.....I was practising this at full volume then realised the window was open so a bit of an impromptu concert going on in the street which would have sounded ok for the main but i'm not so sure the backing…

This is an improv composition by Jim, who plays 12 string…

Some day I'll get around to noting all of the…
