(Remastered 22/10/2021) I've been missing in action for ages - apologies to all, I'm about to start listening again too. For ages, I'd been considering a move away from my trusty Boss BR1600 on which I've recorded and mixed nearly everything…

Song 1 for the RPM Challenge. Wanted to feature an incessant base line inspired by The Smoke.

Song 4 of my 2022 RPM challenge. A simple popish tune to add to the mix. I never told you what I wanted no, it don’t feel right the things you say the things you do well they hold me hold me I never asked you for anything I…

**Song-writing Demo for FAWM 2022** Song number 1 Written Sunday 6th February 2022 **** OK, this is a bit of a departure for me - posting songwriting demos. This is a one mic recording made this morning in the living room, touch of reverbs…

Demo #3 for FAWM ’22. [INTRO] Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane Cause I ain’t got time for no slow ass train My babies moving on, and I know when she’s gone My life will only get better… One Two Three Four! [CHORUS] Gimmie a ticket…

The random wisdom of bar room philosophers, and the magic of sipping whiskey in a darkened room. This is the December submission for the RPM - Record Every Month challenge Recorded in December 2021

The title says it all.

Song 2 for the RPM Challenge. Wrote this at the piano and then had fun trying all sorts of spontaneous vocal harmonies. Switching time signatures for the chorus made for some challenging recording!

Sunshine fill my soul Let the blues be the first to go Sunshine can’t complain If life shows us a little rain Chorus Sunshine through the window At first morning’s light All the stars fade away When sunshine gets so bright When sunshine…

Can you hear me? Can you see my screen? I'm explaining Exactly what I mean There's an error on the next slide, and I hope that you will bear with me 15 minutes Read it word-for-word You'll be reading Exactly what you heard I will…

A little more wurli...

Prophet 12 desk module, Oxygen 25, 31 notes per octave tuning. Knob twiddling.

I was going to make an electronic track, but I grabbed a microphone and this happened.

The Minnesota Association of Songwriters issued a writing challenge this January to "borrow" conceptually from a writer that has influenced our writing to create a new original work of our own. Once you hear this, I think you'll get the idea…

Just a little ditty ......

Another little ditty. A bit different, just me and my Guitar ( tuned to Open D ) and recorded on my i-Pad ( Garageband ) very few tweaks.

Bonus points if you can figure out what this song is about before the end of the first verse. ____________________________________________________ Starting out on Sunday morning, nothing else to do Getting right through 1 dash 1, moving right…

(Remastered 22/10/2021) I found this one while I was digging through the shoe-box for the 1994 songs. Apparently I wrote it on 10th November 1995. Foolishly, I thought it would only take a week or so to record... I was originally expecting…

Song 3 of RPM 2022. For the many tortured artists I've met with a bit of a dance spin to it. Most of my songs are unintentional and unplanned....they just happen. Thanks to anyone who's listening!! :)

something of a logic and theme type song with a heartbeat --- made in matlab and put at freesound as a layer,,..

Song I wrote last year about struggling with identity... lyrics below lol it's hard for me to be myself when i don't know who i am feel like i'm just an empty shelf filled with empty photographs and i might be all alright if i don't think…

The coffee table gang helped me round out this one that I shared earlier. I love this version with Mark Lofgren and Greg Connor's wonderful talents on the backup vocals and guitars. I like how my ukulele blended in on this version. Sometimes…

A song I wrote over the last few days. Did a one-take-wonder on the recording, so it's pretty simple. Hope you like it! Sometimes You Don't Verse 1 Sometimes in the early morning hours As the sun lights up the sky I look back and think…

Another song for the 2021 National Solo Album Month. What do we think of this cat? I have an urge to get proggy right now and generally that requires a level of talent that I don't posses. I'm not putting myself down when I say that, it's…

Demo #2 for FAWM ’22. A saucy groove served on a bed of strained metaphor. [VERSE] In the company of strangers Breaking bread around a feast And the meals stacking higher on the trays They keep opening their mouths And shoving it…

Demo #4 for FAWM ’22.
