yet another influenced by my break.........
I FEEL SO ALIVE
Walking down Columbus bathed in sunshine
Seeing nothing but blue, the stars feel alined
A fragrance in the air that is just so Devine
I feel so alive
I feel my soul revive…
Hey! nice song. Your visit to SF was supper fun, I'm glad you got more fodder for new songs! Thanks for getting me out in the city. We had at least one too many tequila drinks which was just right lol

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…

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

To open up a life to be full and free
To makes you, you…

This was an RPM track back in the day, and I've been playing it various ways to find a setting for it within the band repertoire. This doesn't sound much like our band would do it but it came out nicely, so i thought i'd share it.
For Elly Barnes
Thanks for the moment to think......
-My part of peace-
To think for a moment
Is the greatest of gift to me.
To think without fear
Better still....

For UK people who liked the Testcard in the 70's. Youtube vid attached. Started as a project, sent to Lady Jane who did her magic. Ummed and Arrred about it, and eventually thought "just upload". Enjoy.
New original from me, hot off the old wotsit.
When it was half written yesterday, I was considering binning it as a throwaway exercise - I do that quite often. But I played the songwriting demo to someone else and, er, apparently I should finish…
Having more fun with Hendrix. I tried to stay true to the original as far as using no overdubs. Just one guitar, bass, drum and vocal track. Kind of used a mix approach and used a bit from the record and a bit from his live performance in Winterland…
Once upon a time there was a boy with tunnel vision hidden far beyond the castle walls of a lifelong prison. Captive to a secret that kept him there under lock and key. Imagine was his sanity.
Thirteen days before thirteen he broke a sacred vow…
I have always loved jazz and blues but never really had the chops to really play jazz. But I can feel it and I tried to create that feel with this tune using my sweet old 63 jazzmaster. This was also an experiment in doing a complete time change…
Waiting for something that would be: familiar feeling, isn't it? We look forward to when she comes back, look forward to when the morning comes; waiting to stop the rain (or when will finally rain...).
Life itself is a... waiting?

They were watching the world go by from the living room window when suddenly one drops behind the settee shortly followed by the other....one says to be other In a whisper ........"Theres someone at the door"......"you answer it "..."no you do it "...."no."...."well look out the window then"...."it's the Avon lady "...the Avon lady pressed the door bell ....and time stopped inside the house....was she heard by the two acid heads hiding behind the settee.........there was no answer .....she walked away......as they trembled
Jip1965 came round to kick my ass into gear and played a bit of rhythm i did the rest and then sent it off to the good Lady Jane to do her stuff and very nice stuff indeed! Cheers Me Lady!!! x

I wrote this song to run over the opening credits for a movie. The movie is "Gods Green Earth" it is a satirical look at the Green Movement. It was great fun to go to the premier and see my name in lights!
Almost forgot, We did a music video…
I threw this one together tonite/early am...yawnnnnn. Not an exact replica but always a tribute to Jimi's music. I was originally turned on to do this by some new free vst effects I found on the net. A cool fuzz face vst that is very realistic…
