Thanks very much for your comments. I went to see McCartney live last month, absolutely brilliant. He didn't play this, but he did do plenty from Band On The Run.

Here's another one with the honkey tonk style of piano. I wrote this song some time ago using my usual mix of guitars, then decided to see what it might sound like using the piano. The new instrument gave the song an entirely different sound…
Sam did a great job on this song. Both the lead and backing vocals are hers. The song could use a little editing, but I thought you'd all like to hear it anyway.
Enjoy.

For the lyrics I tried to "paint a picture" rather than tell a story or make a clear point. I was thinking of Caroline No by the Beach Boys about a girl who suddenly lost the glow of youth. The lyric is not quite succesfull but... it will have…

I like the sound of "Drop D" Tuning.
I like this one a lot.
Great Spitfire delivery .....
Whoa that vocal delivery makes John Cooper Clarke look lazy ha!! Brilliant, amazing guitar work and production. :)
Good one! I like the harmonica.

Playful with a great hook! I suspect this ear worm is gonna be hard to shake off!
Love the synth riff here especially - another inspired touch.
Wonderful attention to detail in all your tracks. You establish a groove and play with it - great song-writing and performances.
Very impressive arrangement...classy track.
Lovely relaxed delivery and great build - very cool album opener!
Two words: Love It!
Great beat nice track.

I think you have covered this beautifully!
Gorgeous!
Lovely original song here Rog. Nice, easy style you have. The backing is really great too.
I did this one at the weekend with Brian Bazeley at an Open Mic evening. Great fun Christmas song. You make it sound respectable!

Thanks very much for your comments and for listening. Alas, I have a few paving stones of my own, but Manchester City Council own the greenery here!
This is excellent!
Thanks very much!
Thanks very much, I've just got to find the right vocal balance somewhere between being too quiet and loudly annoying my neighbours :)
Really like this one.
Very nice.
Thank you very much! I'm new to this site but so far I like it a lot. I see you're a fellow RPMer, I did one this year too. Just having a listen.
Very very nice!
