A song about falling asleep on the couch, so there is no mystery to it! But the loose change is in the cushions, lights and tv are on, and the oven has been set to 350 for several hours :)

Ha, that's funny Bethan - I just finished reading "Down and out in Paris and London" and thought "Instead of meeting up with an old friend, how about an old flame?"
Lyrics I have so far:
Been traveling my crooked way
My feelings like
An unleashed dog on the run
I've roamed a mile in those shoes
I'm really glad
Those sidewalkin' days are done
When I look at you
The peace flag flies
And I want to call you the one
But those eyes are devious, girl
You remember when
We had our days in the sun

still one of my personal faves. - although i'd wish to redo some parts, i'm stuck with this version, since i don't own one of the synths used there anymore..

I picked up on one of Norm's wonderful grooves.
I added some bass, guitar, horns, and a basic drum track. Kicker and snare with a few cymbols. I didn't want to walk on Norm's fine, fine, percussion.
Thanks Norm for allowing me the opportunity…
A second version with the initial lead guitar standing alone...a little cluttered after a few listens and some constructive feedback!
Norm's Groove for St Monica inspired this one. Thanks Norm!
Lead Guitar, bass guitar and acoustic guitar…
A long over due changing of the acoustic strings led to this epic production. 40 tracks and 34 plug-ins. Good Gravy that's a boat load of tracks. All kinds of stuff happening.
Enjoy!
you spend your days and your night times

Nothing special, the last track I wrote and recorded for this unfinished CD.
last eve there was a beautiful moon
dancing in a blue black sky
outside my piano room, it called to me
this tune is a one take playful moment, loosely based on the main theme from the 2nd mov of my piano sonata,,, i only toned down about…

Archival stuff from my distant past with former bandmates in Scartaglen. A set of traditional Irish tunes. Rescued from a cassette tape done at a concert back in the early 90's. Myself on Uilleann pipes and whistle. Mike dugger on guitar and fiddle…
This is a microtonal Jazz-ish piece produced with some newly developed techniques.
Norm Harris provides the excellent percussion. I probably could have made it easier on myself by not being so chromatic… but there it is.
The piano, bass…
A personal anti-war song...or something like that !-)

Thanks, bro.
Everything I do is recorded with a Boss Micro BR, either plugged in to the guitar jack or using the built in mic for acoustic/vox. Sometimes I'll upload the tracks to audacity for further mixing, but not very often.
This is a 3/16 Bembe on tuned congas, played with mallets. I've arranged it (at the very kind suggestion of Vaisvil & ReefWalker) in a verse/chorus/bridge/capo fashion to get away from a straight pattern - I think this sort of arrangement…

Mighty fine! Only a listener will I ever be, and that is a great thing.
I love what you've done here! Swanky groove!
Love it!
I'm flying!!!! Diggin' this groove! As would Greg Brady :)
Yeah, man! Great tune you put together here. It does have it all. I thought you had a tight interaction with analog and digital here. Right on!!
Badass! I don't know how else to explain this - Love it!
The whistle and the strump were tight - Very nice!
Love it!
Not sure how I missed this one. The key word here is beautiful - I agree. Wonderful piece - Straight to the PiePod
I just finished watching War of the Worlds, and now I'm scared shitless after listening to this! "Killer" stuff...
That, my friend, was freakin' awesome! You are one talented sumgum!!!

Sweeeeeeet!!!! Wonderful playing, loved it!
This rules! Love the bass and that Beck/Zappa hybrid sounding guitar. Solid!!!

Damn, I'm addicted now. This is killer shit!
This is awesome - I don't know if you remember that old Amiga game Captain Blood, but this reminds me of that a lot!
Solid!!
