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.

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…

A bit of comic relief is good when you have some writers block. I had he song mapped out years before I recorded it. I need to record its companion "Won't you please squeeze my udder Farmer Joe?".
While I was writing 'Afterall' I was also putting this song together. This is about a ghost who is haunted by his own past and what mistakes he had made in his former life.

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…

This one's really growing on me.
And I didn't notice the story behind it when I was first listening (although I suspected something along those lines from the song itself).
A sad tale, but a gorgeous song.
UDON NOODLES' own toxic waste dump Pietro Chimiko captured live during the recording of Tomorrow Never Knows...and this is his acoustic version! you want to hear it when he's 'plugged'!!
Another with the £16 special.............
My baby, she don't want me (Lyrics)
My baby, she don't want me,
i don't know what to do
i need her,
i believed her
she was hollow and untrue
My baby, she don't want me,
i don't know what to do

This one started out one morning several weeks ago when the sun was still shining...
If it's as wet and dark as it is here, just close your eyes, I'm sure you can imagine it if you try hard enough...
Lollies, chips, and beer…
Oh,
Iron jaws, wrapped around my legs,
Try to gnaw, but why would I want to.
Why would I want to.
Oh,
Fresh cut gauze, soaking lips,
Trying not to fall, but why would I want to.
Why would I want to.
Silent pines, know my name

Alone for the weekend so here's another.....Reg has really got to stop being a peeping Tom he's going to get caught one of these days.......
I Love her (Lyrics)
she wanders about inside my mind sending me crazy from time to time but i love…
It sort has a indian feel to your harmony vocal against the percussion at the beginning. Dont know how you two came up with this. Really imaginative track.
I keep walking
Through the bush
And I pass death
I can almost touch
And I hide my eyes
From the light
And there's rain and thunder in my soul
I'm a traveller in the night
I'm a night traveller
I call again on the dark
A place where ghosts
whisper…
Well I started this with a little guitar groovin' thing I was playing with and laid it down to a click track thinking I was going to just keep it just guitar , bass and vocals and off it went.
This song really is just all about life moving by…
I use to have a studio in a small city and most days I would see these two fella's walking the streets or asking for some change. They were a visual part of my life so much that if I didn't see them for a day or two I would wonder where they went…

This was well worth the wait. Superb! I love the reference to what is current these days....hint hint..I like the entrance of the keys and organ at 2:42, masterful. Love it.
The poor Mother what she has to put up with.......
The no good son (Lyrics)
The sandman woke him and told him it was time to leave
That the sticks and stones that they threw at him had beat the word to the breeze
They would all know that…
This is my attempt at incorporating some classical instrumentation with a song ... I even tried singing a bit of opera ... well one bar of deep "la la's" LOL. Used my Godin acoustic electric for this one.
Thanks for listening
The second word
Then from the three.
The middle stands out.
Second from I.
No reason to doubt.

Oh,You have beautiful voice! Respect!!!
fluently poignant
oh! and i forgot Wow!!!
Excellent....
Back for some more...ooooh Yeah!!!!
Refreshing. I like the sound of an acoustic guitar, and I really like the sound of acoustic and electric combined. Nice
I like the lead in and a little levity is always a good thing.
Another good one. The strings are really nice and fit the mood of the piece so well.
Nice voice and a nice atmosphere to the whole song.
Yep, I Like This
Speechless... Wonderful...
Very good track
Kick ass memories! Excellent! w;-)
Absolutely wonderful track! w;-)
"Afterall" has a great swing to it. You really put this one together well.
Nice tribute to an old friend.
Solid! Love the noises and the power snare!!
Quick one - Then I read it was for a website. Cool arrangement!

Quirky cool style. I never even thought of a Bog weasel until now.
As trippy as the original!
Oh hell yeah! This is so bad ass!
Cool jam and guitar playin!
Rich arrangement, nice textures. Reminds me of what I love about music. Pedal Steel....love it! :)
Sounds like you fronting the Doors....crazy cool!
These lyrics are prize winning! Great work!
Love your vocal. Song has a lonely but warm vibe. Nice artistic style.
Another new one! They come in fast boy howdy! Prolific songwriter you are. I like the vocal on this. Has a 70's acid rock vibe.
It sort has a indian feel to your harmony vocal against the percussion at the beginning. Dont know how you two came up with this. Really imaginative track.
Diggin all these tracks. Great playin . Song first attitude.
Thats a pretty classy cut. Like the snappy guitar tone and playin. Reminds me of Larry Carlton.
Oooh...bad ass track! Love that uke in this context. Hip blues track.
Ooh yeah here that organ poking in and out in the right channel now. Great recording. Love these lyrics.
This was well worth the wait. Superb! I love the reference to what is current these days....hint hint..I like the entrance of the keys and organ at 2:42, masterful. Love it.
Great song. Most likely unintentional, but it reminds me a bit of early Springsteen.
I could almost here this as a score. Very nice all the way around.
Tops! Brilliant! Nice arrangement. Spotless.....i can keep going.
Nice track...love the harp in there.
This is a dirty good collab! Has early 70's Alice Cooper, Thin Lizzy vibe.
