Well, don't know what the earlier version sounded like, but this sounds mighty fine.
Really nice song, as well. I don't write enough songs about my wife! (I'm kind of assuming that's who it's about)
The first song I wrote, and yes Fran nicked it !!! It's about the nightmares she was having,which was keeping me awake at night. Same old dream about her childhood & her mother,say no more !!
Fine song. And really the first one you wrote?
Wish I could get my missus to go near a microphone... I've got her as far as wearing headphones in the studio and passing comment on what's happening... but I can't get her to contribute any noises (apart from turning on the washing-machine when I'm trying to record a vocal!)

is an American art form, Damn here come the coppers. Loved it Rodger!
A re-visit to a song wrote in 2008. A simple song, in my subconscious I think someone like the great Hank Williams was having a poke about. And no, I don't compere myself to him or other greats from the past. I'm just me !!!!

Another old one. I sort of call it my 'Ram' moment !!! As if !! Anyway, I can remember I wrote this 3 or 4 weeks after my mother passed away. Yeh, I know, a strange song to write, I like to think I was celebrating her life. She was a great Mum…

Dug up an old one. I'm sure 'True Blood' had something to do with this. All I do know I was just getting over Flu, hence the voice !!!! No more Flu please, twice in my life is enough !!!!
Thanks guys for your comments, really appreciate it. While I'm here, you guys checked out the Stones new single...... Wow old rockers don't die, they just keep rockin'
Okay Andrew R. , this ones for you bud. Had a little fun with it in the intro. That was the surprise.
I put the bass line down and arranged the drums Saturday morning and returned later that night about 10:00 pm . I worked until 2 am and laid…
This is the result of a songwriting challenge that Andy took part in on a songwriting forum he uses
We were all given the same lyrics and then sent away to see what came back and see how different the results would be in styles etc ,
There's…
Old timey'st of versions. reminiscent of a deserting war warn civil war solder heading back to see a lady left behind. Close your eyes and try to smell the camp fire and burned coffee.
Having more fun with Hendrix. I tried to stay true to the original as far as using no overdubs. Just one guitar, bass, drum and vocal track. Kind of used a mix approach and used a bit from the record and a bit from his live performance in Winterland…
I threw this one together tonite/early am...yawnnnnn. Not an exact replica but always a tribute to Jimi's music. I was originally turned on to do this by some new free vst effects I found on the net. A cool fuzz face vst that is very realistic…
Jip1965 came round to kick my ass into gear and played a bit of rhythm i did the rest and then sent it off to the good Lady Jane to do her stuff and very nice stuff indeed! Cheers Me Lady!!! x
This is the third, maybe forth time I recorded this tune.
I like this one best.
taken by surprise
a fine disguise
they came from across the sea
always moving closer
my eyes could see
then they called in the calvary
First just a…
This was the original version I recorded before I completely overhauled it (see version on "It takes a village album ). I wasnt crazy about it but hell I put time into it and completed it so why not post it up.
Reg crawled out of his bunker and wandered down the hill where Jip 1965 found him and dragged him round to FDR,s cave,the beer flowed,the whiskey jug was emptied and we all turned into AC/DC. And then we went down the Rum Runner and rocked the…
Here's a new one, heard a saying on an advert, 'your home isn't a home unless... ' Out popped this, right let's see what you've all been up to lately, had a few days off. Catch up time.
Well Reg decided to go out Dancing down the Disco to see if there were any young ladies about........he shouldn't drink!!!
So Wrong(Lyrics)
It was a magnet that drew me too her
But the polarity must have been wrong
She drew me in while I repelled…
I am slowly coming to the realization that I am sacred.
I trust you do as well.
It was so easy to be bitter
To hate the life I was born into
And I almost lost myself in this fight
Cutting what was so sacred
I could not see beyond…

Yep, I can see Alvin Stardust doing it too...
Great!! For some reason I could see Alvin Stardust doing this ... but I have a weird imagination.
That's some fine playing Roger! One line really caught my attention: "She loves me so much, I have to ask my sorry ass why".
