Wrote this during the covid lockdown. Recorded by my son Jim with Pauline on vocals...recorded July 2021

My cover of Letter Seventeens in The Eyes.

Something old is waking up. Something that was set to protect will now serve its purpose, after aeons of dreaming. It composed the most beautiful music in those dreams.

well this will be kind of random for my listeners... but what the "hey" as they say! In a bit of a writing desert lately, but had a lovely walk two days ago, and got inspired by the sounds coming from newly frozen ice with at least 1000 migrating…

Music written and performed by Mike Smith, also known as Dragonsong. When Mike first asked me to read this poem, he believed it was written around the time of the Spanish Flu...but, our sources say no. It was most likely written by Kitty O…

Greg Connor wrote these words and I got permission to jazz it up Words Greg Connor. Music slkrell

(Remastered 22/10/2021) And here's another song from 1994, with a sparkling new "Andrew Russe Band" arrangement fresh from the broom-cupboard. Like most of my songs, it was written with an acoustic guitar, a pen, and an A4 pad. The ones…

Light, Jazzy and a bit prog in places... I had the season of summer in my mind when I did this one

(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…
