Tacoma Tacoma
This song is loosely based on the true story of my great-grandfather's rescue of a Japanese ship and crew. The picture is of the Provident Building in Tacoma circa 1906 - about the time of the story.
Northern Sunrise Northern Sunrise
This song is about driving from the big city to a small northern town in one day. Written in the key of fifth gear, it's like ol' 55 north of 60.
Innkeeper's Daughter Innkeeper's Daughter
Many years ago I stayed at a family run roadside motel while waiting to work in a bush camp. With a guitar and some imagination, I turned a situation that never happened into this.
Evil Twin Brother Evil Twin Brother
This picture is a movie poster for 'Trail of Terror'. In this movie Dave (Tex) O'Brien plays himself and his evil twin brother. This song has nothing to do with that.

The songs on this site are written by myself and performed by the Hugh Spinney Trio. The HST features 3-part vocal harmonies, two guitars and a mandolin.

Me: Vocals and guitar
Moneca Hillton: Vocals and mandolin
Alan Laidlaw: Vocals and guitar
I started writing songs at the age of 14 with an acoustic guitar. Soon I was playing in a band with friends playing country and top 40. Next I played in a couple of eclectic bands with my brother. Then classic rock, then blues... and now I am writing songs with an acoustic guitar again.Your musical influences

Simply a perfect blend of harmony. I am sitting here smiling as I imagine Moneca sitting with you singing and playing her mandolin. Come play in my sleepy little town here in Alberta...
