I was listening to the first wondering how you were going to get guitar and bass into it... and there they were :-)
Huge sound, works really well. Vocals get a bit lost in it for my money - but I was listening to the guitars by then!!
Wow...Andrew you are too kind. As a teen I would fall asleep too Electric ladyland or Axis...etc...maybe in some weird way it subliminally affected me...haa!
Back for another listen. I went to bed buzzing last night because of this. Over breakfast, the missus had to put up with me explaining and miming the virtues of this performance... (poor girl)
That entry at 1:19 - crumbs. And 3:38 til the end... And the end itself... It sounds so "live" that I'm expecting crowd noises!
Woof! Lovely.
When you want to do it, you've got the "expressive Hendrix" thing completely and utterly pegged - how to play it and how to record it - I'm in awe.
I know guitarists - and you probably do too - who'll sit around saying "oh so-and-so just copies Jimi/SRV/whoever" ... don't ever listen to them - they're just jealous lol. They bought the right gear, the pedals, whatever, and they still can't make the sound...
You've got it in the fingers/brain/soul, and I find it a joy to listen to.
Magnificent stuff.
Uploaded just in time for the 2013 peak of the Perseid meteor showers of 2013, which I definitely won't see, as our autumnal "maritime" (i.e. sh**ty) climate is doing its thing.
This is my arrangement of a wonderful romantic tune by the inimitable…
Had a bad back just of late (working to hard) so i put it in a song,and my favorite painkiller is ? you guessed it WHISKY.
PS The backs feeling much better now!

A song about a walk i took on a recent holiday....
At One (Lyrics)
I feel the thermal stir the air
I watch Life evolve before me everywhere
I see life's palette live and fluoresce
I feel, I feel at one
I feel at one with the sun
There's that…
At last... I've managed to finish something.

Writing this song was a very cathartic experience. This gamut of emotions took place in just one week - last week.
Unfortunately, I couldn't sing the first word without it sounding ridiculous, and so I decided to get back to my Northern roots…

Track 3 from The Bunker 2013
Summer Breeze
The summer breeze
Brings it all back to me
starlight skies
Pull me to my knees to cry
But the Blue sky and the sun gives me hope
love will come to me again
The greys skies
Take my hope…
Here's the Who classic Regged a little.....I was practising this at full volume then realised the window was open so a bit of an impromptu concert going on in the street which would have sounded ok for the main but i'm not so sure the backing…
Here's a Alice Cooper classic for the suggest fest over on the on the other side at Songcrafters as suggested by Henwrench its an acoustic version very slightly Regged........ Hope you enjoy..........

I had envisioned the title referring to a suicide; however I suppose it could be anything attempted without success. In case you've not sussed it out yet, our friend Elle is not a happy camper.
Some day I'll get around to noting all of the…

I didnt know how to do a mix when I recorded most of these tracks....way too much mudd and bass..

Very nice take on this one.
Yep one of my favourites too
I just KNEW you must have done this one at some point :-) Lovely version
Wonderful flavours - great playing!
Lovely..

Andrew...that is a great story...lol! When you love music as much as you and I do its hard to explain...
Wow...Andrew you are too kind. As a teen I would fall asleep too Electric ladyland or Axis...etc...maybe in some weird way it subliminally affected me...haa!
I like the tune! I saw G3 in '97.
Very nice guitar playing, thanks for the song comments!
OK... I've got to dust my strats off now (I've been enticed away by a cute 335 recently).
Thank you my friend. I have never been much of a shred meister but I try to at least phrase my lead lines to fit within the song.

Great vibe on the lead, Smart playing, not too many notes,but rininging Out all the vibe and tone!!!!!!!

Loving your stuff - fantastic guitars on this one. So much expression in the lead.

That is just sweet. What a feel good and warm sound. Great song.
This is really good.....has a Cat Stevens vibe. Nice one ;)
Bad ass riff...sounds like sonething Townsend and the Who would throw down.
Great songwriting. Love the reverb on that flute solo.
I can hear The Doors doing this....very cool instrumentation.
Dynamic. Top stuff once again.
Johnny Stucco and the Trowelers with their number one hit "Stuck on the scaffold with you".
Nice mix......very cool song. Alot of clarity.
Ahhhh....good to see u back in the forum! Love the light touch and well placed notes. Soulful and thoughtful lyrics. Many listens and likes for this gem.
