RECLINER G There's nothing much sadder G Than an old brown recliner F G Waiting by the road in the rain... (C) 2021 Royal T Music

With lovely Keith Landry. Unfortunately, the studio I had at the time was on its last legs and the recording is a terrible quality, but I've never been able to get the vocal to sound better. Probably because I'm now over the awful thing* I did…

Well the Cadillac was there when I left..........

Rewind to Summer 2019... I put the bones of this song together in the UK; the lyric reflects the absolute positivity I was feeling at the time (lots of diverse work, travel, great weather, BBQs in the garden) etc. The melody was lifted from…

Official Single to unreleased Album: "OBONG EKPE 2".

I appear to have lightened the mood a little with this one... If this song wore a hat it would be tipped at a jaunty angle... This one came together relatively quickly - The chorus was based on two bass riffs I had rattling around my head. I like…

Mike (Dragonsong) asked me to sing this poem, from a well loved C17th Somerset folk song, over his music - was a lovely pleasure.

I have mashed Shane Cadman and Chris Vaisvil and myself. this is a neat mix -- I took Shane Cadman's song here and then with Chris's mandolin work I stretched it out to match the length of Shane's Song as well as doing the same with two drum…

The eagle hasn't been kissed.

One of those pieces that starts off short and simple, then after going through various modifications ends up like this. Original sounds are from a Roland SE-02 of a randomly varying repeated pattern; the mono sound file was copied exactly and…
