Love it. I'd love to hear how you were originally trying it as well. It sounds like a song that could benefit from all sorts of approaches (well, what song couldn't). But I like this string arrangement.

Wow, apparently I've listened to this before, but I don't remember... (many thanks to galinka's recent favourites for finding it again :) )
Good song and vocals and all... but on this listen, it's striking me that those guitars are amazing.
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…

Finally getting some time to work out a few ideas I have been exploring. Heading into the mountains for while....I will add more soon with a clear mind.
Here's my last studio effort of the summer, as we roll into fall!
I wrote this one earlier in the year sipping mojito's at the proverbial beach bar and then posted it here.... I thought I'd give it a little sprucing up with the help from my…

A simple 12-bar in 6/8 time. I almost like it.
The guitars are all Les Paul.
Turn the page again
It's time to start anew
From the top this time
don't think we can make it
Don't see there's much chance
Round and round and round we…

Just back from a lovely two week holiday in Cornwall and Gene sent me the finished version while i was away....another excellent backer by gene ...hope you enjoy our take on a Stevie wonder classic ......
This one is still a bit rough, but I wanted to share and see if anyone has an interest in adding some guitars, bass, other vocal parts for fun. I left the chords in the lyrics below, in case you wanted to collaborate. I hope you enjoy it…
This one is dedicated to my dear friend John. Thanks for changing my life for the better....
Also a big thanks to our own Greg Connor who helped me get the chords for my own uke accompaniment, and who kindly played the beautiful guitars…
Here is a *MOJITO* Fueled version of "TV Dinner" that we recorded last Monday night in my Basement.
It's one of 9 songs we will be taping for Community TV, thanks to the *Minnesota Association Of SongWriters*

My 1000th Upload in 6 years...Thanks for listening it's been quite a journey from my first tentative step into this new world of making music.I couldn't have done it without you THANKS!!.....Here's a live in the cellar production.....

Pack a bag and head out west
Change of clothes and leave the rest
Northern skin needs a little sun
Sunshine can cure anyone
Slow it down to a steady pace
Forget about the human race
All I need is what’s inside
Take the rest and let it…
Just a taste of the ongoing project - a sweet little song about finding love later in life. Ultimately, Jessica will be singing the first verse, I'll keep the second, and she'll be harmonizing with me the rest of the way. The whistling will…
Haven't been about for a while...been busy doing nothing but i had some time this morning to have a strum and this is what i came up with after a bit of pondering.....Thanks for listening
One and one makes two

Very nice....
Keep shakin' them walls! x
Well, it sounds very "now". I love folky strings. Really lovely vocal too.
Oh, gorgeous. Agree with David about the Celtic flavour - and I love the 'coming home' feel - super sweet vocal also.
Yeah. Like the new mix/master :)
Yes . . . This is a keeper! The bridge is a nice effect for resetting the song.
Top class all round. An excellent listen
You get the oooH!!! yEAH!! Badge for this one.....and i'm only a minute in.....
One of my Favorites, James ,Try my Hoo Coo Man, on my tracks

Nice trills, what no vocal?
Yep sirree... Love it. I'd love to hear how you were originally trying it as well. It sounds like a song that could benefit from all sorts of approaches (well, what song couldn't). But I like this string arrangement.

Great vocal.....love those strings .....

Very cool.
Dramatic and suspenseful
Nice song all the way through.
Oh yes those are LP's allright. Sound great!
