Just some bluesy shiiat I did while back

I *think* this is final version of my 4th MOTU demo - I will see what comments I get, if any. This is a short, more or less middle eastern-ish piece using the Zurna tuning and Mark of the Unicorn Ethno 2 sample set in Sonar. I performed (and…

This is one of my first alonetone collaborations written by Louis Smit. Everyone should go listen to some of his tunes. Louis is a very original and talented folk style acoustic guitarist- singer - songwriter. You can hear him here. http://alonetone…

I watched a programme on Dali half way through composing this and it took some strange turns!

Been carrying this around since 1982, finally recorded it. Composed when we were expecting our first child, hence the anxiety.

Partial lyrics from a song I wrote for my band, Nail of The Sun thats (not on alonetone)along to some Phil Collins like music and of course the commentary on phil in general. HAH.

Little country ditty with a "hook" :) recorded a few years ago at Boyd's in Wylie. I am singing lead and harmonies. That keyboard player is my talented cousin, Robert Nichols, who turned me onto this site. You can search for him here on Alonetone…
