Thanks for listening on commenting, James! And I love it when you tell us all something about the background of your songs. I wish I'd have the time to listen more often. You are one of the last "true song writers" IMO.
I like the way you play the voices against eachother. Very strong melodies.
Also, Thanks for listening to my music and commenting. The song about Jack Hardy is a very "in" joke. I make gentle fun of an American legend. He's gone on since then. I played it once when I opened for him. We were friends and fans of eachother.
@doktordoktor:
Thanks! I'm glad you like it!
It's actually more abandoned than finished, as I did not want to wait for real drums any longer. But I might revisit it one day and finish it off. :)
"You gotta put your pencil to the paper. Don't bother with the intricate chords. Hell it doesn't matter if the damned thing doesn't rhyme. Write it down. Run it through. Make some noise." These were actually the first words I wrote when…
Bedtime here, so I have to stop listening to all the great music at this site for now. But I'll be back. And I have all your music on my mp3 player anyway. :)
Great as usual!
It's about a few folks, some known, some known to me. I liked the chunkiness of the chord that starts it, but wanted to do something a little more 'spacey' than a pure rock number. It's all true too.
Over the weekend Reg had gone back to his home town where he come from and met up with a few of his friends from whey back when. He found that he seemed like stranger. He was sitting telling Elvis about his weekend. Elvis felt sorry for Reg because…
There are times, moments, sounds, shadow falls that take us to and bring us back to magical times in our lives,,,Something in this piece by Johnny Mercer & Henry Mancini,, can pull me in so many different ways,,, it's always been a favorite…
Just a little piano ballad - another old composition. The strings have not been mixed/edited too well, sorry for that. I'll fix it some day.
It was bedtime and I suddenly felt like playing something on my keyboard. That's how this song came…
Thanks to everybody for listening and commenting! :)
@charmedquark: No, this is not a real piano. It is TheGrand3 by Steinberg - my favorite piano VST. :)

To me this sounds like a soundtrack for a film scene where it's midnight in a warm summer, and a loneseome guy with a guitar sits at the harbour picking this tune.
I could also imagine him playing harp with the guitars coming from off-stage.
Very nice. :)

You must be the long lost brother of Lou Reed and Bob Dylan. ;)
Pretty song with a lovely guitar accompaniment. Would love to see the lyrics posted.

The circus clown turns his pedestal
Into a royal throne
wraps his words in fear and anger
tells us what we’ve always known
while the ringmaster takes the sideline
and steps down from the stage
he knows his days are numbered
when cheers turn…
They were all in the cellar and Louis heard this great tune by the Farfetched Tangmo Band and had to recite this story he had heard of Jack and Jill... so here it is.............
What does a songwriter do when he's addicted to Doctor Who (and his new very cute companion)? He writes...
Amy Pond
Red hair and that pretty face beneath it
My how you've grown up after oh so many years
I've only been away for ten or…
When I was out for a walk recently I had your music on my mp3 player. And when I returned back home I almost felt like going for another round - to hear more of it! :)
Great song, as usual.

Hey J.L. and Bethan! Thanks for stopping by! :)
Hey stoman¡¡¡Regards.Jean Lui
Oh I like this :)
Thanks for listening! :)

This is great! Everything sounds just right.
Lovely song. Great vocals, nice guitar, good arrangement.
Very nice!
Spectacular track folks. Top of the line. Head of the class.
Top quality post, great production work made easier with a top class bunch of musicians.
Silky. For some reason I'm getting a Sade meets Genesis vibe (maybe it's the snap claps ? dunno) Solid performances all around.
It's like a strange mixture of The Call, Pete Townshend and E.L.O. Lot of cool stuff going on.
I love your guitars, man.
Brilliant!
Great song... stunning production. Loved it!

Nice piano interpretation of this all-time classic. Regards, Steffen

Nice playing. Would sound great with vocals IMO. Regards, Steffen
I look forward to you posting more songs. Thanks for sharing some great music!
Another great one!
Excellent lyrics and songwriting! This is a complete story, both lyrically and musically. Love it. Great vocal performance too.
Right up my alley! The kick is a bit too heavy, but the rest is awesome. Superb vocals! Regards, Steffen
Very nice cover. The original is one of my favorite oldies. Regards, Steffen
Wow, Louis Armstrong meets Tom Waits ... :D Nice music and GREAT vocals. Doesn't that hurt? ;) Regards, Steffen
Another foot-tapper. And as professionally produced as all your other songs. Regards, Steffen

I can't understand why some people don't like this kind of pop-reggae (or is it reggae-pop?). Sounds very nice!
