Winter
I look into the trees and I see that the breeze is blowing and I’m beginning to freeze
Cause the wintertime is coming cause the leaves have started blowing…
Well Reg is struggling can he find that belief in himself or not…….
Belief
Sat at the bar wishing again on a dream
Head floating into space
I got my eyes closed to the scene
Cause I know I sit here in disgrace
Another drink another whiskey…

The perfect lyrics to capture my feelings about the coming winter here in Minnesota too... the 6" of snow we got last week made it all the more real! great song!!!
Well Reg was watching the news and he couldn't believe a word that our great prime minister was saying ....He believes that Boris is actually working against us rather that with us in our battle against the Covid. Reg lives in the North of England…
A dark one for you ......Reg was reading the paper and the story of a cold case, about a murder of a Prostitute Wendy Robinson finally being solved after 22 years, her family had almost given up hope of ever catching the perpertrator got him to…

Nothing here
Is this all you had to say

The owl and the Pussy cat
If I was a pussy cat
I’d sail of to sea
I’d try and find that place where I really want to be
I’d find a little island out there in the sea
I’d sit on my rock and watch…
Well this is rather fun! Feels sort of like... a nugget of song that a cat is playfully batting around? Or maybe that doesn't make any sense... Anyway, I like it! :-)

You won’t hear me if I have to…
Here's the first of several versions that you'll see from a collaboration across the inter webs started by Greg Connor. He got us together on the Zoom and then look what happened!!!! Music and lyrics collaborated with the talents of Steve Krell…
Well it's been a long while (as seems to be the pattern lately) and I was inspired by Greg and Ron's new songs.... Then I saw a lovely note from the Proods saying "I must have been writing during this crazy time" - so I had to respond with something…
from the album "the Machine"
it's hard without a heart
pretending to care
watching with greed and spite
you're unaware
you'll never see the ghost inside the machine
you're weak and all alone

Okies, so I'm working on some other thing and it's taking a while... drums to do and wotnot. But in the middle of it I'm digging how my Martin acoustic is working out. You probs won't even be able to hear it amongst…
Looks like I'm a little bit drunk, but hey, I don't care LOL... It's been a while since I've uploaded something, but no excuse now during lockdown time :-) I still don't have proper recording facilities and I'm forever trying to find my way…
What the hell is he making in there.... has a touch of Tom waits about it .... intriguing as I have no idea what you are on about but it held my attention for the full 2.28

A few thoughts on this one....
First.. does that... could it... do you think... Reggae? I wasn't planning on that but it just sort of happened. I'm not sure how but... I think... I think I might like it.
In a spur of the moment thing…
One of the last songs we recorded before the lockdown
Hans Nooitgedagt Jr - drums
Bingsolex - lead guitar
Erwin B - bass, recording
KC - vocals, guitar, keys & mix
When you told me I was blind
It almost blew my mind
When you told…
Garys tune and lyrics, vocals guitars, Tom Bass, Johnny Keys

I wasn't even sure the recording machine was still going to work after nearly five years... Certainly, bits of me don't work anymore... But, surprisingly, I got this done in 24 hours, start to finish... Strange old world…
