I'm singing lead on this. It was recorded to 24 track, 2 inch tape, I'm thinking. I have those somewhere, but they've turned gooey. Sadly, it seems to go into the red during the chorus, but I can't fix that now. I have more stories about the…

On youtube there's a short video clip of guitarist Shawn Lane (R.I.P) executing an extremely difficult chord voicing that requires extensive finger stretching, which Shawn calls "the hardest chord in the world." I altered the chord a little bit…

Cat Stevens cover. I listen to the wind, to the wind of my soul Where I'll end up, well, I think only God really knows I've sat upon the setting sun But never, never, never, never I never wanted water once No never, never, never I listen…

Gonna do this just one more time.

Just got my system up again after several hardware upgrade conflicts, and a move to California. Been thinking about changing this songs ending for a while, finally getting around to it. Good to post here again! Cheers, Reef

My first outing of 2013 with my old mate Mike.ET on lead vocals, cheers man!

This one could use a vocal or a surf's up lead guitar hook. Sounds like it could be in Kill Bill Vol. III. Midi nylon acoustic in this one.

An unusual traditional tune from the first Scartaglen album way back in 1984. Going through stuff the other day and ran across the LP and couldn't even remember the tune or having recorded it. I played guitar on this track

Just another time traveling love song from your ole Uncle Paul. Mostly MIDI synths and some analog bass and screaming Ibanez. Drum loops too. I was going to drum it, but these two loops really kinda drive it along. Enjoy..... filled…

A folksy number inspired by the stories my nan told me many moons ago about her uncle Herbie.. Herein lies the story, of a man named Herbie Jones. Not a million miles away from a man you might have known. A miner in the twenties, blue scars…

MN Homebrew Radio show has a monthly writing contest. This month it was to use the word "wait" or "waiting" in your song. So the hook line of the chorus popped into my head at 5:30 in the morning and the rest of the song came pretty quickly…
