An older (very old indeed) song that tells the story about that old Reaper that likes to come around.

White Light was written in June along with 10 other "Off the cuff" tunes. Just before the great flood in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Our house was flooded and slowly being rebuilt. This is 4th of the 10 to be recorded.

Started as an "Off the cuff" song that only changed a little from the original.

This great old (Public Domain) song by Stephen Foster which I just do and has nothing to do with my current state of life but may not be true for others. I do this song in a most unusual way. That is to say I changed the melody of the verses…

Lovely airy feel. If I had a hangover this morning, this would be pure bliss - but I don't, which makes it even sweeter.

Yes, you have given this song the wonderful Gilbert treatment. Love the harmonica.

This Song (Recorded and written in 06) done the conventional way. I Wrote the words 1st. I was thinking I would like to write a song kinda like those of the old days. Pretty straight forward and Not too abstract. I need to redo because the chorus…

hey thanks for the comment. what do you mean by "the spacial thing?" acctually, i'm not too pleased with how "a love song for the cursed" turned out, my friend who wrote it has an incredible voice so i guess its hard to match :D thanks again!

A song I did a while back of which I aim to re-do at some point. This one still has the scratch vocal and Acoustic guitar so rather crude and gravel like.

1st of 10 "Off the cuff" songs I wrote just before the great flood. I haven't really had a chance to work on any but this one. This is different than the rest of them. All I did was turn on a drum machine and played and sang what ever popped into…

Great pick-me-up music. (And I played this along side "Nightbird" by rdegive by accident, and it sounded awesome with a birdsong backdrop.)

Lovely mix and such a big sound off of those strings! Great song, sir! I love the way it gets darker verse by verse.
