Oh yet another nostalgic blast from the past. I found this unbelievable backing track surfing the web some years ago. I usually never use backing tracks because they usually suck bad . But this one is like having mitch and noel at your side. I…
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…

This is pretty wacky and progressive ... sounds like this group of tunes was recorded with different equipment than It Takes a Village stuff ... just a different overall sound to the mixes ...completely different than what I have heard. You are quite versatile in your music.
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…
This was the first in this set of 3 songs I am posting. I was gaining alot of inspiration from the likes, of Justin Currie and Jackson Browne at the time.
Recorded using Reaper DAW & Jamstix virtual drummer software.
Good song great vocals!. Like the sound of the acoustic guitar and the electric is pretty tasty ... real nice job on the whole package ... everything well placed in the mix.

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…

These are really good songs. I would love to hear them recorded in a studio setting w/ equip etc.... I can feel the soul and the heart of the songs just as you have them. Very nice.
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…
@Tess,
Its played using a YouRock guitar midi controller. I play it fingerstyle for the most accurate piano affect. It does the trick. I am using a vsti called PianoOne which is sounds most realistic for a free plugin.
I've been working on this song for 3 years. I recorded it many times. I was never happy with it until Trevor(Regs) made it a song. Fantastic job on the vox man.
Theres something I would share with you, if you ever asked me to.
Perhaps it is a secret, perhaps you already know.
Im not the boy you look for now, but I could change.
Im not in love with myself, but I think I am with you.
Lets find a road weve…
My first upload.
This is a cover of probably my favourite song of all time, by The Waterboys, who were introduced to me many years ago when the highlight of my week was Thursday night TV, pizza and quaffing Baileys.
Thanks to Sister S for…
A Mat Kearney cover. I'm moving to Australia next month and unfortunately have to give Sister Savage her lovely guitar back which she kindly lent to me (ages ago), so had to quickly get one upload on before I give it back and my stuff goes on…
Poor old Reg just can't seem to stop his old ways and leave them behind....i'm not sure he even tries you know............

The days go by
sometimes i’m high
sometimes i’m lost
sometimes i fly
High
most days i’m lost

Oh well, nothing like going to a middle school music function to break writers block, all those posters and flare about achievement...
Special thanks to my sons middle school band, The Preston Pumas playing at the end !

Hey nice tribute..Especially on this day.

Love the character in your voice. Very good song.
Great job to all involved on that collab.
This is brilliant!
Hell yeah! Nice pick!
Very good song and vocals.
Another very good composition.:)
Nice song and arrangement:)

This could start a beer brawl! Rockin tune!
Sick right from the start. This deserves a grammy!
Fits the bill perfectly:)
Melodic indeed. Very nice.
Awesome vocals and another fine piece of songwriting.
Great songwriting. Like the rythym of the lyric. Very Nice:)
Damn good riff. Love those drum smackin away! Nice psychedelic solo.
I like the unrest of the strings. Like impending doom. Another good one!
Very, very cool. Outside the box and screaming.
Now that is some killer orchestration! Damn nice work. The depth of the instruments is so realistic.
