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…

This just pulled me right in! You have some GREAT tone on that guitar, and your fingers . . . How do you get them to move so fast?
This was a treat to listen to.
Found this old track while backing up my hard drive. It is an alternate tracked played at a slower tempo. I added a quick drum track and ruff remix this morning.
Having more fun with Hendrix. I tried to stay true to the original as far as using no overdubs. Just one guitar, bass, drum and vocal track. Kind of used a mix approach and used a bit from the record and a bit from his live performance in Winterland…
Part of a collaborative effort done here. My friend sent me these guitar parts which I arranged, twisted and morphed to create this. I added the percussion and other non musical elements thanks to my kids playing while I was experimenting with…
Thanks to Robert Palomo for giving this a little sound engineering. Robert said " I mixed thru my mastering plugin (Ozone 5).

LYRICS:
With Or Without You
Try to get along but it takes two
It’s a Whole lot of me and not much you
Working myself right to the bone
Thinking that I am all alone
Just like a monkey up in the tree

Well I seem to have a few songs with dreams and oceans in them. But then I do live on the ocean.... and I do dream ... daydream. I bought a cheap yamaha acoustic guitar from a garage sale for $50 and decided to try recording a song with it. I…
No joke those Yamaha acoustics are decent acoustics...just had one in the shop and was really surprised how well it played. Beautiful song Stan and the guitars sound great.
This song has been sat on the marvellous mechanical mouse organ in the broom-cupboard for well over a year.
A few weeks ago I got a bit of a scare - the mouse organ nearly broke down (in the middle of sorting out Delta Dawn). While I was fixing…
Finally, at last... I've got something finished...
Been working on this for a few weeks.
A bit of a rocker... (and an aging lecherous one at that)
I got it as close as I could and then mixed it loud... I've over-cooked it slightly - but…
MAD AND SAD AND SCARED
I just want to get by for a friend
This is not how I would want to end
Mad and sad and scared
In everything I've shared
That is all I leave behind me
This is all I am
Hope I find a way
To kiss you every day
That…
EARTH
Humanity, you're blowing this
Good planets, hard to find
Insanity to wipe us out
To earn another dime
No use it is to build a house
Upon a dying land
We live upon a warming earth
Why don't we understand?
- Unless we govern for…
