In the mood (Glenn Miller Cover)
Discovered a MIDI file arrangement on the web and added my own touches. Instruments used are all within Cubase + Brass patches on Alesis QS7. Excellent job whoever made the original file!

I'm So Lonesome I could Cry (Cover)
Hank Williams! The poet laurete of country music had a hit with this way back in 1949. His version was awesome. Mine? Simply paying homage.

All Shook Up (Cover)
This song, made famous By Elvis and written by Otis Blackwell, was No.1 in the U.K the day I was born. That alone justifies having a go at recording a version. No... I can't sing like Mr Presley. He is the King after all!

I feel good (Cover)
James Brown. The Soul man. For sure this version is nowhere near his powerful vibe. But it's the best I can do to remember the positivity and energy that flowed from him. If you really want to experience, try singing it!

Ferry Cross the Mersey (cover version)
Having grown up on Merseyside and traveled on that ferry across the river many, many times I couldn't resist trying me own version! The original (particularly in the movie) is way, way better ... but it's a song dear to my heart.

Raindrops keep falling on my head (Cover)
Burt Bacharach was a master of his genre. Recorded this tribute when I was going through a particularly difficult time. Singing it helped me get through ;-)

Electricity (OMD cover)
The only band to make it HUGE from out of the Wirral music scene I grew up being a part of. I'm proud of the fact that some of the musicians I grew up with made a living out of their craft and influenced many others.
