Fiddling around with an open G tuning and I found the chord that 'Prodigal Son' is based on (a Robert Wilkins tune from the 30s made famous by the Stones) so I had a play around with it, stopped for dinner and came back and wrote the lyrics…

Peter Hallam drawing lessons from Abraham

Dennis Coble, lyrics

This is my first song (pre-edited and mastered) for my upcoming CD, "The Shape of Things to Come". This will be the 13th song of a 14 song CD.

OK it's the morning after the party at the China Quay, and our hero is waking up. What has happened? Influenced by about 6 different doowop tunes (great for hangovers!)

Seems to be that one song everyone likes. Lyrics: Stary night, the highway fades a hundred miles and I'm on my way I got up late Lazy days and even crazier nights there she was, on her way she stuck her thumb out for me to see…

Some impromptu mandolin chords and a bit of harmonising. The view from the window is very pretty today.

This is a remixed version of the title track from my 2008 RPM album, to be included on an as-yet unnamed compilation album I'll be releasing later this year.

The title track. I still like this one, though it is somewhat dense, sonically speaking. Another song where I think I pulled of the lyrics relatively well.
