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.

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.
a quick one put down before i forgot it.....

One acoustic track through a sure 58, Kontakt scarbi bass, vintage keys and addictive brush kit and a bunch of "oh yeah" vocal tracks.
Thanks for listening
Had a blues riff and I was recording on my cheapo. acoustic thru a 58 and my dog Rufus started singing so I kept it and made the song from his point of view. .... just having some fun.
Rar rar rar rar rar rar rar rar rar rar….

Recorded this pretty quickly... 2 acoustic tracks(cheapo garage sale yamaha recorded with a sure 58 duck taped to my table because I forgot my microphone stand at practice),hohner harmonica, midi bass (kontakt) and addictive drums, vocals sure…
Apologies to George but I love the song. Its shocking to find out that Paul and John rejected it until George dragged Eric to the studio one day. Imagine the White Album without this...
no effects of any type on this for good or ill.
I thought going into 50/90 that I would need to do some quick recordings of really simple arrangements. Maybe just acoustic guitar and voice. Nope, not really.
This isn't meant as filler. This idea is something I noodle on almost every…

Jan 17 2015 - Remixed. I was always kinda disappointed with what the original mix sounded like. Listening to it the other day I realised what it is - I'd mixed the vocals too loud. This reduced the "stereo" and killed off a lot of the life…
The liars.........
WAR!!

What they wanted wasn't heard at all They wanted to bring down the heat
Talk about the problems rationally But the government didn't want to know at…

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!
