Another one pulled from the archive...I was really into soundtrack scoring when I was making this track. Headphones advised for full range on this one…
So I was locked in the broom-cupboard, checking out some old songs that need recording.
I'd just picked one and then suddenly this thing came out of nowehere. It started with one of those guitarist doodles that other musicians love so much…

I heard a story in the title so here it is with the excellent guitar by Jim Movement with contact ....hope you enjoy......

Daddy will be back real soon

This is a beautiful song from Joni Mitchell. My friend had his 50th birthday and this was my gift, I played it live at his party and recorded it later (4-2-2011)in my livingroom.
It's one take, can't mis that if you listen to it all the way…

OK I Know, I know - hardly Rock & Roll, but I have had a lovely life with my wife who I met when I was 18 and still love her - I wrote this song for her! Permission to vomit! ;0)
Garn/Landry (And I barely deserve any credit for this one at all)
A while back, Jim recorded a rough version of this song, and upon listening to it, I was thrown back to a day from my youth. While vacationing in Vermont, a small twister throwing…
They said look out, he speaks to wolves
Look out, he’s snow
And you grow, a thousand ft or so, per year
You’re bark is too thin, and winter’s coming soon
