This is my archive page.
Between 1985 and 2004, I wrote 150 songs. I wanted a place to post some of the more interesting ones. There are 50+ here now (have a listen if your brave enough) I used to have all this stuff over at mp3.com which went belly up because they owed me $12.00. :-)
My new stuff is here as well, check out the official band page ;link or search on my name, Brett Allen Gregory.
I have listed the songs here slightly out of order. I started with 1995 and went backwards to 1986. The reason being is that in 1996 I met Brian Bennett and he had a huge impact on my songwriting style. So 1995 was really the peak of my own personal style and I wanted to present that phase of my songwriting first and work backwards through to the very first couple of songs I ever wrote.
After that block of songs finishes (1995-1986), I listed the songs from 1996-2004.

Why this name?
I initially chose the name, "The Wind" as a name for my imaginary band. Some kids have imaginary friends, I had an imaginary band. These days I just go by my full name, Brett Allen Gregory, initials BAG so put em together and you get me, The WindBag.
