This current CD, collection of songs, is 2 years worth of writing and recording, and I suppose a re-start to my musical interests.

I don't quite know where to fit the genre stuff, so it goes under country/general, some are more country than others. It is an eclectic mix of how I felt at the time of writing, as well as a learning exercise in production, styles etc.

I guess a history of involvement with music since a kid, learning instruments at school and as a hobby later. Some jingles, some songwriting on and old fostek 4 track, later on the world of PC's opened up a better world to create sounds.

The one man band is not only possible, it can sound good as well.

The downside is replicating in a live environment...

Only sometimes, at a local pub, sometimes jamming with a few mates..

Originally Bob Dylan, Don McLean, Jim Croce, later on Alan Jackson, George Jones, Troy Cassar-Daly, most of the top artists in Country.

Mackie Onyx 1220 firewired into pentium 4, JTS and Shure microphones, Guitar through FX pedal into mixer, old yamaha keyboard, accoustic 6 string, electric 6 string, cheapish resonator, older electric as slide (raised nut etc), cheapish electric bass, harmonicas, borrowed banjo, real old mandolin....learning a little fiddle, trying to build a pedal steel.

What's the good of a painting never seen, or a song unheard?
