Has an intro and outro. It's a guitar solo! ...I woke up from a Coma a couple of years ago with nerve damage in my left arm, and was told I'd never play again. Since then, I've worked hard to do so, and this is one such attempt.

Thanks for the background story on this...very interesting. Guess you showed the naysayers!!!!!!!! We loved the haunting melody and deep reverb...nice combination! We jus uploaded a guitar instrumental, too. But, this is way cool! it was worth the price of admission and a little more!
Alan & Di (aka Double Trouble)
Composed in 1987, developed over the next few years, recorded this version in May of 1990 ad ...taken from a battered series of old c90s. Not a brilliant recording, same with 'Lady Relax' but I hope you find both of these tracks listenable!

First things first, many, many thanks to Greg for adding Bass and a Great Harp break. Don't tell my mate Dave, my normal Harp buddy, he's been ill with Flu.
Writing this song was a very cathartic experience. This gamut of emotions took place in just one week - last week.
Unfortunately, I couldn't sing the first word without it sounding ridiculous, and so I decided to get back to my Northern roots…
Been meaning to enhance this one for years, it's about 4 years old, sure it came about after a trip to Liverpool. The Cavern Club's not the real one, but what a great sound in there. Thanks to the Good Wife for the vocals.
Thought I'd have a go at a soul number. FDR did some lead but the song was left all alone on my comp until today when I landed on it's lyrics while driving home. Thought I'd have a plumb at auditioning for the 3rd Reg, lol.
My mate Dave did his Ringo bit for this one. He came with some songs title's. I was messing about in Open A (I think ) and came up with this. Thanks to Dave for the Harmonica.
Based on a poem by William Sharp that I found while researching my family history.
The poem has been put to music once already, by one Christopher Goldsack, http://www.sundown.pair.com/Sharp/piratepoem.htm but I wanted to put my own little…
This is a Rock Ballad guitar instrumental written and performed by Alan. It reaches deep into the listener's emotions to feel the sadness and sorrow of the piece.
Too early? Too late? It's only a laugh :)
I am a Beatles and Lennon obsessive (had to explain that because some people thought you wouldn't get it otherwise)
Anyhoo hope you enjoy my last upload as a 47 year old...:(
As requested, the lyrics…
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!)
