I play guitars . . . electric, acoustic and bass. I also play rudimentary keyboards, harmonica, and sing as best as I can . . . I record direct onto Adobe Audition 1.5 (formerly Cool Edit) from a Pod version 2.0.
All the music that I create by myself, goes by the name of Major Snagg, and the music I co-create with my musical collaborator, Tony Webster, is Big Sleep.
The Valiant B's section, is a secret dark corner for the music I find harder to put a label on ! Acoustic, Ambient and other 'experimental creations' live here.
The newest sub-section, 'Archive Avenue', is not a 'Band', but is a collection of my old Analog Recordings. All originally recorded onto my Fostex X-16, 4-track cassette machine. There's some history in there; Tracks from Silent Network (a group I was part of, in a former life . . . lol ), and other things from my musical past. My very own 'Blackmail Corner'

A Scottish Soldiers Lament :
This is a simple, acoustic guitar/ accordian & voice version of one of my all time favourite Scottish melodies. So haunting and beautiful, it could bring a small tear to 'The all-Seeing Eye'. I/we sang this, and many other folk songs at Junior School. It's a melody that has stuck with me all those years. These lyrics are set to the well know melody of, "The Shearing's nae for you my bonnie lassie-o"
There are a few different versions of the lyrics, some rather more 'earthy', about a girl who is pregnant, and so cannot help in the sheep shearing. These are the more romantic lyrics; but still poignant today, as so many soldiers are going off to war in places such as Afganistan.
I dedicate...

Sounds like you've got a lot in the pipeline! Hope you're staying relatively dry where you are...still raining on and off here, turned cold today too! Bah...don't like this cold weather much. Nothing moving very fast here...phase 1 of the building work won't go ahead 'til early Jan now - weather seems to be holding things up. Not sure what to do about the studio project - considering either something separate from the house or a soundproofed set-up in the loft...nothing's going to happen anytime soon though...and I'm desperate to get on with my music! The current situation is too noisy & too cramped, so I'll need to organise something soon - everything is always so complicated!! Have a good weekend. Speak 2 U again soon, Rodz

Greetings!
I've been fairly inactive on SC in a while and it's not going to improve anytime soon. So much to do musicwise ...
I have remixed and mastered first 30 or so of my pieces and they do sound better.
This one is new.
'Remember To Forget'
