Here's proof. Proof that things are a bit mysterious in my studio.
Late last night my Bass Cajon all of a sudden decided to start accompanying me on its own - without me touching it. At first I thought that some apparitional bass player had…

actually both parts of the sign, or should I say, both signs, were resonant. And sure if I can talk Debbie into doing the video I'll be happy to - can't be too many traffic sign solos out there :-)

Sister Savage and Mr Sandbags collaborated on the original of this wonderful heartbreaker of a song. I've been playing it on the guitar the last few days and it always seemed to come out with a grittier tone, so i asked…

2 am at a smoky bar with an audience mesmerized by the band.
nice work - it must have been your doppelganger joining in !
the post was not resonant.

a guitar player's guitar player you are!!
I wish I could have seen you do this - great!

nice smooth track - love the chilled vibe. Its all about the Neolithic Revolution!
one of my fav bowie songs - the first side of the album was superb. Like what you've done with this!
thanks for all of the work you and Norm did - it was a lot of fun!
beautiful
great song!!
I like to watch you conduct the synthesizers :-)
but who decides what is real? the dreamer or the dreamed? 2 vocoders? did you grab another microkorg?
Norm has a good ear and taste - this is truly awesome!
I really like this - I hope you don't mind I tried to add to it.
