Great playing - wonderful feel! And I have to say I'm really digging your vocals - I'd love to hear them louder in the mix, but that's just a personal thing because I think your voice deserves to ring out. I'm picking out great textures and a great tone. Wonderful stuff!

I don't usually like to be compared, so I don't usually compare any one else, But here goes. Stephen Stills is one of my heros, and a large influence on me, and my brother, you and your style of playing and writing, sound more like him than anyone I've ever heard. But, I can plainly hear, that you are a man who plainly hears YOUR OWN MUSIC. And I always dig that!!! Count me as a FAN, crackitopen Keep it up, no matter what they say!!!!

leaving the island
Costello fingered his bow
looking out his villa window
grey morning sky
giving way...clouds
scattered by the sun
to fishing boats painted on
far off horizons
a melody he offers
in toast of their run
of their run
his boats…

Do you see that girl? Do you see that boy?
Walking hand in hand? They're on top of the world.
Can you see that boy? Can you see that girl?
Kissing in the park. They're on top of the world.
I can see that girl. I can see that boy.

Everyone has had one of those special nights . . .

LYRICS:
Sneak out and slip into the night
Shotgun we're going for a ride
Forget your curfew
Everything will be all right…
This song is about that moment that you, as an adult, stop trying to live up to everyone's expectations of you..whether it be a girl/boyfriend, family member, society, etc.
I had this house I had been working on and I had all my movie making stuff in it. It burned down. That's sort of like this song but not...

This is a song I wrote that actually came true. I wrote it several years ago. The girl I wrote it about I had not seen in nearly 20 years. I just wrote the song as a 'what if"... A short time after I first posted it, I was suddenly emailed after…
February
t boudreau
I'm stuck inside of February
With little chance of escape
And all you bar-stool visionaries
giving me advice that you'd never take
Wanna seat on a slow boat heading
South down a stream that seems to never end
Or…
You are very quickly becoming one of my favorite musicians...yes, the muse indeed...in fact, our neighbors collie passed last night...our sheltie, Emmitt, is in his last days...heartfelt kirk...merci

This was my very first attempt at recording , done on two tracks , me picking and vox , AK rhythm , then me adding a harmony vocal , a bit basic but a Traffic song i've allways loved
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
This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain
