I wrote this one morning but gave up tryin to sing it . then I asked my buddy Steve Schostal to do vocals . His Canadian accent was perfect for this . Notice how he leads the beat ‘wow perfect.
I love Colabs
I have always wanted to get down to the Bayou. Maybe you could introduce me to Marie sometime. It's an intriguing thought to meet a pistol packing gator plinking lady.
That's a mighty fine triangle indeed... love the banjo picking too. Did you stuff a rattle snake to get that shaker? You and that Marie are mighty fine indeed!
So shooting dinner off the dock ,may not have accured to you
well an open mind may be an old fasioned idea but look where you are right now .... seee......
When there’s C snow on the G pumpkins
Autumn leaves have all D gone
And the C geese are all G flying
Cause it’s time to move D on
When there’s C snow on the G pumpkins
We’ll sit by the Em fire
We’ll C talk about our dreams, our D hope…

I found this one while I was digging through the shoe-box for the 1994 songs. Apparently I wrote it on 10th November 1995.
Foolishly, I thought it would only take a week or so to record... I was originally expecting…
Poor old Reg is off to rehab again ...maybe this time he'll learn
Tomorrow is another day

A simple guitar groove. Haven't sat in a coffee shop since before the lockdowns, and I miss the atmosphere and the music! This tune feels to me like sitting in a cafe.
(Every time I think it's done, I end up tweaking it a bit more in Audacity…
A song about my wife. Recorded 2005.
I'd just taught myself how to play piano (badly).
I'd always wanted to be Freddie Mercury when I was younger... still got a bit of a ways to go.

The second one born from my first week of quarantine. I dusted off my 5 string Sandberg bass guitar and wanted to evoke a Motown-ish vibe on this one and really got into the snare and bass guitar following the same rhythm rather than the usual…

Messing around again with the HB 12 string and came up with a backer so i got Elvis of the settee and pushed him to sing for his supper....man can that man eat toasted peanut butter sandwiches ....4 tracks of guitar drums on M-audio Keyboard…
This is an oldie. Recorded in 2005. It was the first recording I finished on a DAW, but I'd played it a lot in the last band I was in (around the turn of the century). I think it was written in the mid 90s. It's about one of the casualties of…

Nice Beatles vibe
Beautiful song
one song a day not R P M
this was fun, then tune a day is not the rpm challenge it is my thing........
