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.

Sweeet tune! Sad story behind it, but I guess that's how we get the inspiration.
I have to say it's an incredible production, very loud and clear, you can hear everything!
A job well done!

You've got more like this up your sleeve - mebbe not written yet - but I'm pretty sure you've got them just waiting to come out.

Woo, listening to them again, and this one's a grower.
It was late when I was first listening, and this one is stuck between two special ones, and it didn't force it's attention so much.
But it's a cutie on it's own.

I love all three. But this is the one that does it most for me.
I love the swing of it, those "icing" guitars, and the song... woo
Excellent work, sir. More!

A complete re-vamp of a 6 year old song. Sure I wrote the lyrics while on holiday in Majorca, rewrote a couple of lines, picked up me ole guitar last week & just played this tune & it all seem to fit. Could need a lay down now !!!!
I started this thinking it would be a tune with the emphasis on my guitar but as it progressed I heard horns and then all these other things happened and this is what I ended up with.
Pete Thompson on percussion and Angie Thompson on bass. Produced with Pete 123112
HAIRCUT
They sent me a letter. A ticket to ride
Portland to Frisco on that Big Overnight
Brand new clothes. New pants and new shirt
Brand new boots to kick…
Mixed some music clips, and original compositions together for a brain killing trip through electronic glitch folk. This came from a severe lack of sleep.
Amazing you could pull this off or even imagine this amalgamation of music from different ends of the musical spectrum being arranged and work. Thnx for the great comment. It had me rolling :)
Yes it is a YouRock MIDI controller into comp via USB. Controls VSTi instruments loaded in your DAW. For this one and another song I just uploaded called The HAARP effect I used a free VSTi called Minimoog.
Smear this all over your face. You know you want to, IT'S EAR Food!
(I once found a lobster trying to invade my space in that area while awakening on the shore of a Tropical Island post Shipwreck..)
I put the music together last weekend ... my friend and bandmate Rob George did the bass track for me last Saturday ... I used my godin acoustic electric for the guitars ... did the vocals this morning and wish I had more time for the mix…
This is incredibly good ...came back for a another listen...looks like only one of my comments came thru the other day on all these current tunes of yours. That Godin sounds great. Love the message here. Happy New year.
This groovy song was written by the great Jimmy Smith.
Project Wakerobin is:
Kevin Gerzevitz - Hammond Organ
Jason Stewart - Guitar
Marc Carmi Smith - drums
Poor old Reg is down in the dumps and has started comparing his life to those of others more successful ...the go getter's in life...which poor old Reg has never really been one don't get me wrong he works hard but it always seems to be for someone…
