Written/recorded for RPM2017 (album in a month).
The last song I wrote for RPM2017 (being entirely written and recorded on 26th and 28th Feb). It should be obvious that this is a tribute to George Harrison - I'd listened to the album "Brainwashed…

A slightly schizo soppy/sexy pop song. Written and recorded 15th/16th Feb 2016 (as part of RPM challenge).
I'm channeling some 70's pop ballads and (somewhat) Barry White here. I'll not do it again, I promise.

A poppy song, written and recorded on Feb 12th/13th 2016 as part of the RPM Challenge.
Of moderate interest, I first wrote and recorded (and basically finished) the music, although not the structure. After that I started work on the top-line…
I'm channeling my inner Johnny Cash here, for this quick and dirty demo of a song I wrote for my musical "Lashing Of Ginger Beer". The lyric is rather more dark than the music might suggest.

The cover I did off Uglifruit's 2010 RPM submission. The drums are a pair of hotrod sticks, that I made, hitting my keyboard table. The "kick drum is the stick hitting the pop screen while the mic was on.

30th March. Replaced with a slightly alternative mix. (Wasn't happy with the first one, on reflection.)
This gets my official 'thumbs up seal of approval'. I really enjoyed what you have done with this.
The mellotron sound is Meltron 1.0 (freeware vst) by ArtiFake. For a freebie I found it very usable, and it's found all over this album.

Apoloigies, I didn't log in. Just saying this song is great. It reminds me of the Kinks - which is A Good Thing.
Thanks. I am very flattered and appreciate you taking the time to listen.
