Angela! Great to hear from you! Unfortunately this site has no private mail feature, so I'm replying here.
I would love to finish this song - with YOUR vocals. Nobody can interpret your lyric as authentically as yourself.
Please let me know if you're up for it!

I had this tune in my head for years before I finally sat down and recorded a quick draft of it. I would like to record this with real instruments (acoustic guitar + electric lead guitar).
Anybody interested in helping me?

This song was written on guitar by Kari Eskola from Finland. He sent me his guitar track along with this fantastic vocal recording by Emmi Inkeri asking me to replace the guitar with a piano accompaniment.

Original comment by Andy Gupta:
A 70s hard rock jam style of track. With incredible parts by Billy, Steve and Marcel, capped off by a meaty mix by Steffen.
Thanks so much guys!!!

I'm not sure if John really had intended to write a funny lyric, but we thought it was funny - and so this became a funny song. At least I think so. :)
In the beginning there was a stupid little synth demo. This is what became of it with a…
While I was going through my old stuff I found this forgotten tune. I think it was the first or second collab I've ever done with Billy Playle. We met at a long gone collaboration site called OMF (OpenMusicFactory, run by Alessandro da Lisca…
This song tells about a guy I know named Gene.
GENE
Gene had a girlfriend
The band would play and they would dance
She was tall and Gene was tall
A lovely late romance
They'd smile and hold each other
They'd sit and share a drink
Holding…
Several years ago I had a short lived duo with an oboe and English horn player named Nat. This is a demo from that period. It's an old old chord progression of mine that never really had a melody and Nat improvised this melody in the studio to…

I DREAMED I HUGGED JACK HARDY
I dreamed I met Jack Hardy.
He was bold but had sensitive hands
With a voice that was tempered by New York City
In his eyes I saw many lands
I dreamed I hugged Jack Hardy
He was thick and soft, like pine…

I've listened to a couple of weird songs tonight. You were the only one I had expected that from though. ;)
Minimalistic, experimental instrumentation and highly creative vocal processing, as usual. This may not be my favorite musical genre, but I cannot switch away from your songs once they start playing. They have something mesmerizing about them ... job accomplished! :)
This was my very first attempt at recording , done on two tracks , me picking and vox , AK rhythm , then me adding a harmony vocal , a bit basic but a Traffic song i've allways loved

Honestly, James - I like this version MUCH more than the country-pop version with the female singer.She is a good singer, but that other version did not really touch me like this one does.
Your voice (although too loud again ;) :P ) plays an important role in the originality and tenderness of your songs. To me it is the most important part.
Regards,
Steffen

You know how to write songs, James. And you don't just simply sing your songs - you feel and live them. That's the stuff good songwriters are made of.

You are a proof for my conviction that a good lyric is a requirement for a good song. All your lyrics are great IMO, and so are your songs.
What a pity that you did not continue to play together. Very nice new age music.
Great picking! I would love to be able to play like this. Regards Steffen
Very pretty. I agree with what Bethan said. Regards, Steffen
Wow, great choir, James! This song sounds like a soundtrack of a historical film. Monumental! Regards, Steffen
Minimalistic, experimenting - and as intriguing as all your songs. Regards, Steffen
All your songs are complete stories. Tell us more, I'll be listening! Regards, Steffen
Great one, James! Who is that guy Jack Hardy anyway? You know ... I only understand half of the words. :) Regards, Steffen

I thought this was "Teenage Hurricane" again. ;) Your singing reminds me a bit of Jackson Browne. Very nice listen.
Wonderful music and performance! I hope you'll post some more. Regards, Steffen
VERY nice, kind of a minstrel song - reminds me of Simon & Garfunkel (again). Regards, Steffen
Whatever mics you use, Rob, it will always sound nice. It's your voice that does it.

Great music. I'm sure Andreas Vollenweider would love this. :)
I always get a nice 70s feel from your songs, Sandy. Brings back good memories. :) Regards, Steffen
Nice song, but I'm sure it would have been even better if you had sung it yourself.
You know how to write songs, James. And you don't just simply sing your songs - you feel and live them. That's the stuff good songwriters are made of. Regards, Steffen
I love those vocals. Elvis is alive! ;)
Another good one that reminds me strongly of the Beatles. Regards, Steffen
