For the first track for this years RPM. I recently went on a short break to New York for the first time and had a walk about with my camera and explored most of Manhattan over the three or four days and man did my feet hurt at the end of it…
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
Hey Mr
Yeah you
I know all you say ain’t true
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
And you…
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
we listen the news…
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
When I’m just trying…

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…

Track 9 of this years Rpm challenge 2023 covering the concept of age and the effect on poor old Reg…
The blue of the sky slowly succumbs to the breeze
Those little cloud start to grey and look in need
The leaves start to fall away from…
This is a recording my brother and I did together in about 2008. He played the piano and I’m on viola.
He passed away on 05 December 2020.
We all miss him terribly - I’m glad we took the chance to make some small recordings like this. He…
Oh brother
Can you hear my words
From that strange place
Beyond this plane
Or maybe, just maybe
There’s nothing, there’s no one
To hear my call
My tears
The knife of tomorrow
Without you beside her
She wilts, she falters
She falls…
My dear friend Brent Kinder asked for some covers of his AFC songs, and this is my attempt at covering the excellent song Sideways from his Orange album, which is available on Alonetone in its original form. I'll include the link here, but I'm…
Someday there will come a time when there will be no Monday. And there will be no need to remember about work or to follow the schedules. For some, it is temporary, for someone forever.

Robert Frost - On Looking Up…
Lebenslinie (Life Line)
Life, if you look back at your own one, or at the stories of others, often seems to be presented as an ornate line. This line is trying to branch out, but since a person is indivisible, that lifeline is always one, but…
Unless of course your life is out of control and the path spirals ending the center of the island after circling for the same answer again and again and never finding it
I write letters, but I don't send them and they go unanswered. I take them out and rewrite them, picking up the words and clarifying the meanings. I wait in hope that a reply will come someday.
I continue the conversation when it's long over…
Since you’ve gone
It’s all gone south
The dunces took over
Stupidity rules
They open their mouth
To prove they’re fools
You didn’t believe in god
And made me wonder how
If there was one
How could he allow
What evil has been done…
A Christmas song about what really matters.........i got the idea for the music listening to Jarvis and his accordian the other evening so thanks J........

(Remastered 22/10/2021)
I've been missing in action for ages - apologies to all, I'm about to start listening again too.
For ages, I'd been considering a move away from my trusty Boss BR1600 on which I've recorded and mixed nearly everything…
Another earworm needing to be expressed - comes to my head when looking at the moon from my garden. I'd love some lyrics - "oh beautiful moon, dah de da da dah" etc but haven't landed on any yet. Its also a bit Taize like, except totally pagan.
When you C reach the Em point
When it’s F all in the rear view C mirror
And Am reflection is your G only point of C view G
You C feel it Em inside
When it F becomes so C clear
There’s Am nothing that G you can C do
F Hold on to G memories…
