Baby can you here the thunder tonite?
Baby can you here the rain coming down, down?
Lately Ive been dreaming of you lying next to me and I realise your gone
And I cant seem to find
A way to stop these tears, from bleeding out this heart of…
This lil Hendrix tune has been in my head lately so I decided to take a stab at it. Every time I attempt a cover of one of his songs I discover something new. This time it was his uncanny sense of phrasing and harmony within a blues context. It…

This is a bonus track of sorts for the mock EP It takes a village. I had the verse chord chages around for many years but just until last week the song and lyrics came together really quickly. I thought I heard a band arrangement originally but…
I threw this one together tonite/early am...yawnnnnn. Not an exact replica but always a tribute to Jimi's music. I was originally turned on to do this by some new free vst effects I found on the net. A cool fuzz face vst that is very realistic…
a wee short one
A long time has passed since we last met
I hope that life’s been treating you well
And what are you up to these days
Are you with somebody else
And do you see any of the old crowd
I wonder where they all are now
The years…
Next in the little pile of songs from the shoe-box. This one has the date 27th January 1994 written on it, but it's describing an episode from many years earlier when I was, I'm guessing, something like 12 or 13 years old.

This is a love song I just wrote. It's the first normal love song I've written since "Western Hills" (i.e., three years). Writing love songs is kind of risky. If it doesn't work out- you're stuck with singing a song with all these unusual associations…

That is an incredible tune. Lyrically excellent! I love the riff. Those acoustics sound perfecto! Short but sweet, makes u want to hear more. Great Andrew :).
Jeff's tone on this and another one of our trax remind me of Adrian Belew's Rhinoscirus. kOss pHactor is a NinJam based trio of Jeff Duke, Ray Istorico and Jim Goodin, fusing electronics and improvisation in to their sound canvases.
Another demo (no vocals) from 2011.
some words:
Standing there, a victim of red tail lights
A witness to pointless fights
A guardian of fragile fright
A savior who’s with you tonight
Imagine a better place
Imagine a better life…

Oh man ....nice song. Seen it up the other day and did not gvet a chance to listen.
Nice lead breaks. Like the screamin wha.
Love all the acoustics....nice playing ...its a breath of fresh air. More listens on this side of the pond.
Impressive song writing. A special one right here.
That is an incredible tune. Lyrically excellent! I love the riff. Those acoustics sound perfecto! Short but sweet, makes u want to hear more. Great Andrew :).
Trippy greatness.
Sweet track. Love the mix on this. Nicely done.
Reminds me of Cheap Trick. Especially when the synth comes in. Some good ground work for some vocals.
Deadly dropped tuning riffage.
Yes. A heavy Cars influence, even if unintentional still very cool.
Big sound. Very nice mix as well.
Grizzly vocal. The horns fit perfect.
Love this...nice colors and textures...a sonic painting.
Like this...really focuses on your voice. Love the stacked harmony with Sis in there. Reminds me of Guennivere by CSNY. Beauty of a song.
I like the mood of this tune.
If you do not do work for film....u should. Very nice piece here.
Damn good again.
So nice to hear this at 5:30am. Way to start the day.
Heartfelt song.
Sweet....love the blend of vocals.
