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.

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.

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.
First new one from me in a long time.
Kind of a love song, I guess.
Recorded in my new "studio" (3rd bedroom in the new house). Almost up and running now... shine and don't stop wondering!

I may have posted on fuzzy kittie....damn smartphones aint for dummies....dig the song...reminds me of something Buck Dharma would do with Billy Joel....good stuff SC!
I can't quite believe that I'm posting this, or that I've even recorded it. But I've played it like this sat on the sofa in the living room for many years, and I needed something to check out how to record a live "one vocal and one guitar" song…

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.

"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!

Good song all around. All the instruments interact well and the recording is clean. You have a great soulful tone to your voice.
