This one came solely as the chorus melody and the basic hook "So I'll sing my song for Carolina" It's all I had for months, but I thought it was a good chorus line so I kept humming it to see if it would sprout further ideas. The mid section is…

Ukulele and vocals performed by Jazz, 12.
She's starting to write her own stuff (proud!) but just to get her in the studio for the first time, here is a cover of a song by Vance Joy.

Well I did try and get an RPM challenge done after last years fail, but I'm still lacking enthusiasm or creativity.
Hence the uninspiring title of 'The Fifth', as this was the 5th track I was working on and the only one that came close to completion…

The closing number, the thoughtful number. It says more than goodbye.

I have had this riff for a while. It needed a song. It needed cowbell. It got both, and it's a great song to drive to.

Have you ever felt like it was YOU who were the problem? If you haven't, then you're missing out on one of the purest forms of self loathing that humanity has to offer. This is dedicated to the fine soul who actually did find something lovable…

I'm not sure if this is rockabilly or late 40s jump R'n'B. Dance music though. I had fun with the lyrics and the backing vocals.

A happy song about being left by your no-good spouse. There's a word for the attitude in this song but I can't think of it right now ...

There's a whole mythology woven into this song, and hence into the album, and the weave is fine and warm.

This one started as the piano piece. I was messing around and thought it had a vaguely Eddie Harris sounding vibe from Plug Me In (which is a killer record, absolutely killer). Anyway, I decided to develop it, since it sounds a little different…

Are you trapped in an endless emotional-steamroller of black-hole phases and need that extra second to glorify a unified reason to escape the soundscapes of darkness?

A track over twenty years in the making. I came up with it sitting in front of the TV with an unplugged borrowed Rickenbacker 360 (thanks, Mark). The Santana vibe just happened. I made a four track cassette recording of it just to get it down…

This track is number 4 of my album Space discovery and is a long peacefull track that could put anyone to sleep straigh away ;o) but in fact mean the deep artificial sleep of spationauts while their ship is crossing space for a very long distance…

When I made my demo of this song, Nancy said she really liked the melody of the chorus and that overall it was her favorite tune of mine to date, hence the title.
I thought the first section of the song would be ideal for a sitar, however I…

Finally I have completed a track on this, for me, a very uninspiring year, musically speaking.
Lyrics come from the inexhaustible weirdness of my dreams.
Happy Halloween... if that's a thing :)

This one's mostly MIDI clips in the Superior Drummer 3 and EZKeys plugins in Reaper. I fumbled along on my new MIDI keyboard controller to add the bass part using a sound from SampleTank. Pretty happy with it except for the abrupt end of the last…

Well, this song showed up right at the end of the recording session, and it reminded me of why I do this - and it was just what I needed.
THANKS FOR COMING
I agreed to meet
I smile and take a seat
To hear you say how I could be a star…
