Floppy old mix. Another candidate for remixing or (at least) re-mastering. I'll probably do the latter soon.
This is a synthesizer instrumental…

A little bit of pop with a strong 80s touch (I hope).

Nice lead guitar tone. Rockin' tune ... funky clean rhythm guitar. Good vox ... bed is tight and drives it well ... cool horns and keys in the chorus ... I like this.

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…
Solo acoustic finger picking thing I've been working on for a while. Sometime around 1968 I started studying with Mr. George Bennett who taught me the rudiments of finger picking. Later when we played some gigs together he also taught me the rudiments…
Something I missed for many years was singing in a choir. Now that I have multitracking I don't miss it any more.

Oh, please, don't let it undo me.
Let it level and true me

I've made three different versions of this song, but I think I like this one the most.

Her beauty was praised but her feelings unknown

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…
Reg has been philosophising about life tonight and this is his conclusion............
LIFE IS LIKE A WAVE
The body is the sea and life is the wave
Life is just like a wave

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
For a short clip of of a video of this:

This song made me a professional songwriter when George Sluizer, the director of THE VANISHING, put it in the movie by that name.

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.

Comments on stoman's stuff
Oh yeah, very well put together. Love that bass groove holding it down.
I'm definitely hearing 80s :)
Well put together. Good musicianship with some hints from the 80's.
Maybe it's just 'cause it was mentioned, but I'm hearing Steely Dan too, especially if you imagine more elaborate harmonies over parts. Good song!
Actually, it's more like Toy Matinee. Kevin Gilbert was one of my favorites.
Sounds like Las Angeles to me. Steely Dan. Clean.
Cool song. Really like the bass groove.
Very nice. Fine vocal.
Nice one.
Real smooth. Nice listening!
Great production! Grinning through the whole thing.
Is it about a "BANKER", lol. 10 times a night, bloody hell, he needs to stop taking the little blue pills. Loved this.
nice 'James Bond' music feel. very well done
Nice groove!
Hell yeah....right from go! Nice solid track guys. Almost like a bluesy version of Asia. This is great. Nice boards, vocals and solid rythym section
awesome.
Nice lead guitar tone. Rockin' tune ... funky clean rhythm guitar. Good vox ... bed is tight and drives it well ... cool horns and keys in the chorus ... I like this.
Cool tune. Brings me back to some 70's era rock...similar to BOC. I dig the bridge section and vocal harmonies.
totally midnight ridin with ya right now. props to all the musicians, you guys did a good job!
Nice one :) You've got a cool "70s" rock/pop combo going there.

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
