another back to basics Zep this one goes out to Martin where ever he is ...he died getting on for 14 years ago but he's not forgotten ...Happy birthday for tomorrow man.....
Wasn't too sure where this was going during the intro, then when the vocals started I saw it all... This is a FABULOUS version. I've always had a love/hate/indifference relationship with this song. It's one of the few where Robert Plant's lyrics got in the way for me. But you carry it off superbly. At 5:26 I was left thinking "why isn't there more?"

Wildgeas sent me over this excellent backer and in return i sent him back a garbled vocal and a jumbled lead guitar and out of the pigs ear that i sent him ….the Surgeon that he is…cut and pasted and he has created a silk purse…i even sound…
I was having a break revising for my exam on Monday night....i can't remember a dam thing......must be an early set on alziehmers.....anyway what was i saying??..Oh yeah a Regged Version of the Zep Classic Rock n roll ........
When I saw the title, I had NO IDEA what treasure was inside. In fact, I'd even forgotten to listen to it(!)
This is SUPERB.
Anyone else who's seen it and thought "oh I'll listen later..." - it's later NOW! You have to have a little sip of this wonderful version of a crusty ole classic.

I asked Gene if he would like to do a backer for I got mine by the black keys i was hoping to see in Leeds until the guitarist hurt his shoulder but thats a different story........anyway Gene agreed his contribution was Rhythm and bass he bought…
**Song-writing Demo for FAWM 2025**
Song number 01
Written Saturday-Sunday 1st-2nd February 2025
Written 1st-2nd Feb
Demo recorded 2nd Feb
****
I wasn't gonna do this FAWM thing this year, but they sent me an email...
And then I wrote…
Song 9# for my 2025 RPM Challenge. The finishing line is near. I wrote this song last night - it emerged out of the burning heart ache I've experienced since the death of my beloved 13 year old dog Maxwell (died last May) - my love for him is…
Sometimes writing a song is the very best and only thing you can do....
Cold Winter Moon
Oh cold winter moon
And the wind that blows
Bring me a change
For my weary soul
Take away this longing
That fills my heart
Something is over…
My words, ai demo.
Your clothes are in the wardrobe
And your books are on the shelf
I wander from room to room
Talking quietly to myself
How can I see my future
When you’re standing in the way?
Every morning I wake up, I’m in
Tomorrow…
Guitars/Mandolin: Doug Sparling
Composer: Traditional
Recorded: 2005
A couple of nice reels played on guitar, the first is The Cup of Tea, can't remember the name of the second one. Unfortunately my midi flute scratch track got added in the mix…
(Song 4)
Hair net tossed on the table
Name tag still pinned to my shirt
Work boots wait on the front step
but they might walk out on me too
I've got no one left to care for
No one left to hear my prayer
Talking to the kitchen window…
this is all chris. except i went the route of playing synthesized drums, which was a gas. at one time i couldn't stand the sound of them. but i knew they would fit his song. i think this is a very interesting journey.
A strange beast that began back in 2021 as a chord progression that didn't go anywhere. I finally knuckled down and finished it. It has a somewhat awkward transition from verse to chorus, but when I tried shifting either to accommodate the other…
I come up to the surface
And take a breath on my return
Crystal waters on the surface
Light gets swallowed down below
And it’s the same way with my feelings
About you they stay much the same
Twenty years wrapped up in paper
Tied it up…
Another one for Steve, our amazing bass player….a BIG Planet of the Apes fan.
I never followed Those movies, but he assures me that he’s kept within the bounds of the narrative.

You can't argue with those pipes.
I dig your handle of the keys and your vocal delivery – ROCK ON!
Love this piano version... nice singing
Way to belt it out. Love the vox T.
Yup. You re-imagined that tune. Nicely.
I miss jammin' with you. Drop me a line sometime. We'll hit some B flats or something. :notes:
I really like what you've done with this one
Like it great mate
Yep :-) What a vocal.
Brilliant!
Yes, this is it.

Laid back and lovely…
That bass is shaking the car down and dirty
Another year older waiting for your FAWN 26 submission
Poor old Maxwell at least he was loved
I’m liking the piano sounds like a real one rather than midi but I’m probably wrong
Got a great 80’s vibe going with that synth
The UK stops on 2 inches of snow good luck with the next 3 months were hoping not to drown in all this rain
A beautiful song beautifully sung
