Steve developed this beautiful track with his ukulele and I added some lyrics to make a "positive message" song for the times we are in.... Hope it makes you smile too... It Won’t Be Like This Forever Sitting here on my front steps Listening…

A song I made up in retro style, just for a bit of fun ;- ) I used various guitars. It's partly sung in English and some of it in French. I try to do my own mixing, so don't expect too much LOL... Regardless, I hope you enjoy it ! Kind regards…

(Remastered 22/10/2021) Here's the very latest from the broom-cupboard. I wrote it one dark night over 23 years ago. **** **All I Have To Do - A A J Russe** There isn’t much time to get this out You won’t hear me if I have to…

A duet for piano and upright bass. I had composed and recorded this about ten years ago; given the current situation, seems like a good time to release it. One of these days I’ll figure out how to adequately record the upright bass; it’s again…

empty club smokey Sunday afternoon t bone style blues starring the greatest Harp player I know Mark Imsdahl. Thank you Mark

(Remastered 22/10/2021) Okies, so I'm working on some other thing and it's taking a while... drums to do and wotnot. But in the middle of it I'm digging how my Martin acoustic is working out. You probs won't even be able to hear it amongst…

from the album "the Machine" it's hard without a heart pretending to care watching with greed and spite you're unaware you'll never see the ghost inside the machine you're weak and all alone that's why you fail programmed to fix the…

On a resent group meeting of musicians , I was reminded of the love of Latin rhythms. Thank you Bethan. This is a tune dedicated to a los angeles luthier family ,Candelas, who build old style classic guitars. My fist real guitar was one of…

Another bach chorale in slow motion. This time whipped to stiff peaks with 8 bars of generic trappy beats.  To be continued or not, that's always the question…

For now it's a concept track and not a finished product. Let's see where it goes...:)

A joint Collaboration effort with Wrinkled Shirt.

Written for the April 2020 RPM mini-challenge. I hoped for an EP and ended up with a single song. The song is largely recorded on a T25 mic I built for Brian of A Beautiful Scene as a means to test the mic. It's pretty solid if you ask me…

Hey, I just improvised again this night and wanted to share what came out. Usually I'm such a perfectionist and have to get every detail right, with the effect that I don't share a lot of stuff that I do. Here I recorded the first voice…

A story that is all too common. Healthcare tied to work is crazy! If you can't work because you are sick, you lose your job, and healthcare! How can that work!?

A message to my children to be themselves no matter who that is. I will love them regardless

This is my 2nd Piece that I "wrote" in a pretty simple fashion. I started with the 2 pizzicato tracks and then Improvised 3 voices on top of that. It started as a test if I can plug in my audiointerface into my phone and it kind of worked out…

We're bored in lockdown again. I call out for collaboration and Joe Whibley pops out of the aether. And this is what happened. Joe did a fucking fantastic job with most of the work (playing all the instruments and a vocal), I just stuck in some…

A song for the times.

(Remastered 22/10/2021) I wasn't even sure the recording machine was still going to work after nearly five years... Certainly, bits of me don't work anymore... But, surprisingly, I got this done in 24 hours, start to finish... Strange old world…

I live in a house with a river running at the bottom of the garden so i wrote a song about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz0ygixKAno When I get down by the river and I watch it flow I Wonder where the hell it finally goes Snaking…

I’ve always liked Isaac Watt’s (1674 – 1748) hymn “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross,” but have thought the tune, a Gregorian chant, doesn’t adequately emphasize the words. It occurred to me that it might work well with a blues rhythm and I…

Strummed ,plucked and tapped soprano uke version of Five Foot Two. Oh, and a squeaky chair .

In light of what's going on today my mind has been racing nonstop to digest the situation. I had to put this track into a higher perspective. -Creation -Destruction -Rebirth
