This is another track recorded live at the first ever open mic at Bennetts City Cafe in Hohenwald, TN. (I organized event and was hosting). I had Sarah Brafford backing me on harmonica and ( think) Shane Avery on percussion for this one. Enjoy!
This is the first public live performance of my song "Deception!" It was performed live last night (march 19, 2013) in the thriving metropolis of Hohenwald, TN (USA) [pop 4000] at Bennetts City Cafe. I was accompanied by Shane Avery and Haley…
I just acquired a five string banjo. It was broken and I did a lot of work to it. It is now playable, though I'm waiting on some parts (the 5th string tuner is no good so it only has 4 strings, and I have to tune of of those 4 using vise grips…
Thanks, I am glad you dig it! Re: banjo... go for it, you can't go wrong! Do a six string if you want the sound but don't want to learn a new instrument- five string if you want something weird that'll challenge you musically... I think you would do awesomely with something like that!

Yes - Like it. Really works like this.
I want to get a banjo, but I'm filled with trepidation over what sort to get - so I keep putting it off.
This has re-awakened the urge.
This is the title track off my second album. That means it's not a new track, or recording. It was written in summer of 2012 and recorded around October or November of that year. But it had not been put up here and I thought I would share it…
This is a love song I just wrote. It's the first normal love song I've written since "Western Hills" (i.e., three years). Writing love songs is kind of risky. If it doesn't work out- you're stuck with singing a song with all these unusual associations…

I know what you mean about associations on old songs... I tend to "conveniently forget" any "bad stuff" and just like the thing for what it is - but it seems like my entire life documented in songs!
This one is gorgeous. And I love the intimate recording. I'll be very interested to hear the results if you do work it up to a band production.
Yeah. I wrote this one a few days ago. There were a lot of triggers- it's not written about one specific person. I hope you enjoy it.
Also- I double tracked harmony vocals on this- but I'd rather have a different voice than mine. If you want…
This is a fairly simple guitar part I came up with a couple days ago and my friend talked me into recording it. It needs words- perhaps that will come later.

This is a song I wrote after a series events involving a vehicle accident that ultimately ended in my truck, my first vehicle ever, being impounded. Ultimately I ended up getting her out. It's a long story, and I wrote a lot of pieces of it into…

This is really refreshing. I love a tune with a story. Thanks your time listening to my tracks. Hope your next song is your best, until the next one comes along. Take care.

There were these two sisters, both gorgeous and super intelligent. One of them mentioned the book "Lost Horizon" by James Hinton. It was their favorite book. So I read it. And it was really strange and interesting. So I wrote a song about the…
There are some ways of making a living in which, even though the work may be moral, you profit off of others suffering. A brief brush with that was the inspiration for this tune. A lot of musical weirdness (cook pot percussion, playing a standard…
This is a super dark jazz tune I wrote when I was working as an expedite trucker in a cargo van. A lot of stuff had happened and, well... the song pretty much speaks for itself. I don't need to go into specifics- but it's a very intense "I was…
another rough as snot scratch track so I don't loose the (probably bad) idea!
Where in the heck are all these hot rod/biker B movie tracks suddenly channeling in from?!?!
Well that didn't last long Reg felt something wrong so he's moving on to pastures new..........it got Reg feeling Jazzy......
Time to go (Lyrics)
Theres something in your smile that tells me its time for me to go

All's well in Reg's world at the moment .......he woke this morning after meeting his new love last night down at the Dog & Bone it was Kareoke night....in she walked and Reg was hooked it only took one look........
Sweet Love (Lyrics)

I really like this song. It is very balanced. You have a great voice... and I really like the overall sound, and the balance, style, and feel of the guitar playing. It is great!
For the grandchildren, when I get some!
Moonbee started life as a doodle, then he was turned into a little story, then a song!
This is Part 1 of the series - I have no idea how many there will be in total!
Enjoy! xox

I like this. Great lyrics combined with simplicity.

Tasty. It works like this - it's a good listen as it is - but I'd like to hear what vocals you come up with.
Deceivingly enjoyable with a deceptively balanced mix twixt guitar and vocals. I like! G:)
