Nothing like a good gtr riff to inspire a song. This one is backwards in a way. The first verse has a lot of layers, the second one is much cleaner... I had fun doing the backing vox on this one, it was the first day I really had my voice back…

With a title like this, you have to listen once, right? There's a lot to tell about this one, but instead I will just say I had a lot of fun doing all the gtr parts on this one. I also really like the bass part in the chorus, which sounds a bit…

What's rock and roll without a yee-haw or war-whoop before a solo? This ragged piece of something or other came from a riff I had laying around for a couple of years. I pieced it together kind of last minute for RPM 2006. It's not bad, a lot…

This one is a personal favorite of mine, though it got savaged on Garageband.com. Ah well... It has a lot of parts, lots of gtrs, and boatloads of harmonies. Actually, one guy on Garageband loved it. Maybe some day I will buy him a drink. Listen…

Sammy Davies on Ephesians 4:32

Saw an add on TV for something called "Drag Me To Hell". Dunno what it is with horror films, but apparently scary music is on my mind. Thanks for helping exorcise it. The guitar part, btw, is e-bow plus slide so any tonality is an accident.

We will be on air every Sunday from 14:00 - listen live at ury.york.ac.uk, or find us on iTunes (radio > university/college radio > University Radio York).

Another worship song...

Anticipation of a new life.
