Last of the archives for now. A set of reels from the Last Nights Fun album. I did pipes, whistle and guitar on the last tune in the set. There's a live version of this up here too. This is the studio cut

This song pretty much sums up my life right now. No direction and no ambition. Maybe because it's SpringTime and Love is in the air. In keeping with the romantic nature of the season, it features: BANJO . . . . . The instrument made…

Well, I'm almost on a roll now - this little love song was written, arranged, and recorded in just a week. I've been meaning to attempt something like this for years, just never got round to it. I'd actually settled down to finally record a…

The first song completed for the 2015 RPM Challenge. This is historic for me in that it's an RPM song that used a real amplifier instead of a software simulator. It's not my cool Marshall, it's my Fender who once took a bath in gasoline (long…

**** Jan 17 2015 - Remixed. I was always kinda disappointed with what the original mix sounded like. Listening to it the other day I realised what it is - I'd mixed the vocals too loud. This reduced the "stereo" and killed off a lot of the life…

Just having fun, hanging out, creating some music. Double drop D Capo @ 3rd- Lead Capo @ 9th. :)

With JS Tolar, as band Visions Of Nell. My tribute to Anne Boleyn, the first queen to be publicly executed in England. I used some of the poetry she wrote during her imprisonment in the chorus. An innocent, incomparable woman.

Finally, at last... I've got something finished... Been working on this for a few weeks. A bit of a rocker... (and an aging lecherous one at that) I got it as close as I could and then mixed it loud... I've over-cooked it slightly - but…

Can you feel my heart instrumental version

song from my band ezra bell. for kelly lavery

I wrote this little ditty back in May, did an acoustic demo and then played it to one or two people. I always meant to do something a bit more, er, "expansive" with the thing... So I stuck it in the corner for a bit and forgot about it. Been…

First track recorded live at Proctors Theater in Schenectady NY sometime in 1994. We had the place all to ourselves. A huge Victorian theater with us just set up in a circle on the stage with some overhead mics. No overdubs, straight to DAT.

I went over to Reg's place the other day and he sort of scared me. He was out on his deck, pitching butts and spilling gin that he couldn't afford. He was a mess and had a crazed look in his eyes. I could tell he was ruminating again about…

Most of the lyrics written in 1999, a tough year. Many thanks to JB for his awesome screaming lead playing (done first take, I should add!!!) and to LadyJane for supplying some oooo's. (anyone needing some vocals - send her your song!)

The first of 4 tunes coming your way with the spotlight on my friend "Michael Thomas of Cave Street" http://alonetone.com/cavestreet This one is my favorite and chills me every time I hear it. It never, ever, gets old. Until Then (Shine…

This track was made for collaborative purposes. Looking for a slow build of layers. If you hear anything that you would like to add...feel free to do so, and send it back to me...or post it and let me know that you did. TANKS!

come away, come away away from trouble away from care come away, come away away from sorrow away from fear may the cool wind find you through a thousand thoughts unsaid gather you in weary day behind you and you can lay your head…

Fathers Day on Sunday.... Thought I'd write a song for my son. Here you go lad... As the Sun shines....Lyrics And my boy..... You Smile so wide as the sun shines. But you will keep your joy as the clouds try, to stop our light…
