The wife has gone riding so I came down the cellar and turned up the amps using my Tele and 335 to see what I could come up with .....
I ain't no Mr Nice
Busted broke in Vegas
But I still ain’t had enough
Ain’t got nothing left to give you…

It's too bloody cold to go out today so I picked up the guitar and this came out ....Thanks for listening
Lets learn to Rock n Roll

I can see you pretend to be what your not
So come on…
Reg has been reading the papers again, it always brings him down, but this time he can't carry on looking the other way and ignoring the news and the facts that the life, the freedoms he holds dear are slowly being dissolved not just by his government…
A day of from the gardening and my first go at organising drums in Easy drummer that funnily didn't turn out to be so hard . I'm playing the Tele with the Kemper and Boss Me-90 Thanks for listening
You shook me from my middle

With a little help from some of the lyrics of the Doors descriptions of the uncertainty of the 60's Reg has decided to do a kind of Punk song from both sides about the trouble in England which seems to be igniting the youth to set light and loot…
After Sebs football today I went up into the loft searching for an old guitar a friend gave me a few years back. When I lifted the lid of the case I saw that the tone switch was pulled off leaving bare wires. I couldn't remember if it worked or…
I was having a strum and this one came out....thanks for listening
We gotta rock n roll
They say if rock n roll beats in your Soul
That the notes make a key to fit the keyhole
To open up a life to be full and free
To makes you, you…

Its snowing so nothing can be done on the garden so why not go down the cellar and have a ponder...and of course get Edie the acoustic out and let her join in with the pondering...Thanks for listening
We hear no evil

Saying Sorry ....What a drag!
Saying Sorry
I ain’t no innocent
I don’t pretend to be
I’ve always wanted to go through this life hoping just float free
But then today it all went wrong
Everybody seems to hate me

Total inspiration for me this morning! The snow is also coming down here in MN, USA and I don’t think it’s ever going to stop this season. This song captures exactly the challenges we are all facing. Self seeking politicians seem to be everywhere these days! Great stuff!!
I had an hour or so this evening as the wife had a friend over I disappeared down the cellar and started to think about my old man he's been gone now twenty one years and how in his old age when I used to go and see him I'd find him sitting pondering…

My take on Gumbo's Keep Your Eye On The Spot, one of many excellent tracks from his RPM2011 album 'Cat's Moustache'. It's something of a departure from the original, though I was trying to retain an element of the gospel so hopefully its soul…
totally different vibe to Gumbos a cracking cover..... now i'm confused (conversation in head) ......which do i like better..... why do i have to like one better? its not a competition is it, why cant i just love both... ok thats what i'm going to do... thats it we've decided we love both... who wouldn't....excellent work Alex... those are some excellent lyric Gumbo
A few months back we had a "Beatlesfest" on songcrafters.org.
I contributed this and Yesterday.
This one's a bit of a departure for me. Not the song itself - it's been one of my favourites ever since I was tiny (I preferred Robin Gibb's…
One of my two contributions to a "Beatlesfest" we had over on songcrafters.org a few months back.
I still can't believe I covered this... having done it though, it feels like nothing is sacred. And, more worryingly, I feel I might possibly…

This one was tricky to do because the piano does not play at a fixed tempo, and it was an online collaboration (like all my collaborations).

i turn a page somewhere in the middle of all this - you'd think i would…
