I live in a house with a river running at the bottom of the garden so i wrote a song about it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz0ygixKAno
When I get down by the river and I watch it flow
I Wonder where the hell it finally goes
Snaking…
Wow. That works. Really uplifting.
We've only got slugs down the bottom of our garden. And the top. And a lot of snails in the middle. No ants though - they all seem to have moved into the house in the last few days...
it's getting late so theres no time for finness it might be here by the morning .....

We're all in the same boat with nobody at the rudder and hoping the swell will take us through to the otherside. we've been given time to to think about life while the door is closed. When it opens again lets put all those wrongs to right because…
We were having a little tipple down the cellar last night and we came up with a Christmas song for the festive season...hope you enjoy..........
CHRISTMAS TIME AT THE DRUNK’S HOUSE (Lyrics)
it's Christmas time in the drunks house
and the…
Reg has got a little soppy since he met his new girl, the widow Desirea. His pretty sure she's the one but the old fears keep rising. He knows he has to put the past behind him if any relationship is ever going to stand a chance of working…
Reg: I think you should do a Google search on Desirea. I am not so sure that she is actually a widow. Just sayin'. Be careful! You should do a criminal back-ground check on her at the very least.
Reg will just not listen not only have Chris and Norm told him but Elvis Jim and Louie all had the same advice..Forget her....move on but he is going against all the advice. He just can't get Desirea out of his mind, he loves her. He's trying…
Aww Regs, I'm back in town from Rio. Stop listening to your geek AT friends (they don't even know me. I've only met Chris once). Call me - I want to meet you at Hélène Darroze at The Connaugh.
Well Reg still hasn't cheered up ...memories of Desirea keep coming back to haunt him he thought it would be a new year a new start .....which it would be if he could only leave the past behind him......so he got the acoustic down of the wall…
Reg is back on the drink there was no escaping it. He found out that Desirea was not what he thought she was, she had been telling him lies and his hopes were dashed again.............. theres a little mess up on the Xylophone but what can you…
Reg. Stop. This is not good for you. Just copy and paste the following to Desirea: "I just booked you a flight to Gofuckyourselfville and your departure is now."
Desirea has done a number on Reg, she stole his Credit cards birth certificate and passport and has cloned him to at least a dozen banks that he knows of. He has lost his house his car everything he has./ And to top it all he cant sleep for missing…
Well it's hit poor old Reg hard today that it's finally over between him and Desirea so he's written a blues song to exorcise his pain........I've actually tried to put my own drum beat down on this one by using the keyboard as my drums and working…
Well Reg still hasn't cheered up ...memories of Desirea keep coming back to haunt him he thought it would be a new year a new start .....which it would be if he could only leave the past behind him......so he got the acoustic down of the wall…
That bitch! Perhaps we should make a public service announcement album dedicated to Desirea to (hopefully, but doubtfully) protect others from her seductive evilness.
Reg is back with Desirea he's trying to put their past behind him. What can he do he loves here......

Regs. You should have called me in your moment of weakness. I would have tried to talk you off of that ledge. You know she is no good for you. You (like many others, may I remind you) have already crashed that car too many times.
You gave her your credit card number, didn't you?
I fear this will not be the last song you write about that rabid bitch wolf in heat.
Peter bought the old grey wolf down the cellar and Humphrey had to go and chat to him and tell him about his day. This is the story he told him...................

Oh, man. We are sitting on the terrace right now, doing nothing particular but listening to your song about us (Pinot Grigio a bit, too), as we now. I'm loving it, man, you know.
P.S. Dude, you are the best, as usual.
I have a new love in my life A Kemper this is the first recording using it. John https://thebigbaddog.co.uk/ is playing guitar i'm theo ne warbleing. Trying to get a different slant on a classic for the band this is as far as we got today but…
Another Live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen back in 1988 on the NPR show Mountain Stage. This time a piece of Gaelic mouth music followed by 3 reels. Maybe the most complex arrangement of a set of tunes that we ever did.
Got my dancing slippers shuffling.."................love that rythmn you have got going........now I'm going back to some real meditating........uuuuummmmmmmmmm
Song #2 for the RPMC. My goal is to have 12 short tunes (1-3 minutes long), so I need to pick up the pace.
Again, quartal tuning on the top 3 unison pairs of the 12 string. I've been listening to Ralph Towner's Blue Sun, hence the title.
Love song about strife in relationships....the song needs more work; gotta redo the vocals....nevertheless, I hope you enjoy it. Here are the lyrics:
Beyond the horizon,
The sun burns bright…
Psychological consequences of war.....written and performed by Nick Plagakis.....Lyrics:
Sixty seven shots ringing
Across the desert, heads are spinning
Bang, Bang Bang; is all I hear
Bang, Bang, Bang;…

This song was inspired by a long walk....
Lyrics:
Down by the river, down by the shore we go
The moon above cast a beautiful glow
We walked around talking through the night
I can’t help but think how it felt right
Hey Constance, don’t you feel…
your vocal is so expressive I just love this track.....I'd fav again I I could...we need a double fave button.......but then again that would be no good I'd only want third fave button then.....great music making Nick
This is the third song from the Thomas - Lennon project.
A collaboration with Michael Thomas of Cave Street.

Enjoy!
Love is Free
as you let it…
I've now done 2 for the Rpm challenge but these were the easy ones.
Too much rubbish (in the pockets of our lives)
Spend half your life waiting for a train
Now you get to thinking that you should have caught the bus
So your waiting at the station…
Also just for storage purposes.
A track I made in high school when I was 16 or 17 with my sax buddy Matt Nelson who is currently touring with tUnE-YaRdS.
got a new ukelele still trying to tame it.
recorded 3 tracks of uke and one of vox on micro br using onboard mic, still trying to tame the onboard mic.
i shouldn't happen in a month of sundays
but i can see it coming straight towards me

Love that organ! A good instrument to tango with indeed. Stay well. You’ve captured the feeling we all have right now 🍀💚🍀
Such perfect lyrics for these imperfect times. Always so fun to hear your wonderful voice. All my best to you!!!!
Merry Christmas everyone and back slapping new year

You can STFU Norm. This is between Reggie and me.
Reg. Stop. This is not good for you. Just copy and paste the following to Desirea: "I just booked you a flight to Gofuckyourselfville and your departure is now."
How many times has she ruffied you Reg? Be honest!
Reg, it is NEVER actually over with that girl. Nothing she does suprises me anymore.

Wow! Now that’s a keeper.
I absolutely love this song!!! Perfectly captures how I feel some days. Awesome writing!!
