Just Another Stormy Monday Just Another Stormy Monday
A power ballad inspired by T-Bone Walker, T.S. Eliot, and a host of character-building experiences beginning with T (terrible, tortuous, tragic,tension-inducing - you get the idea)!

Lady Luck Rode Away Lady Luck Rode Away
Just another Last Chance Saloon song!

The Star Harmonica Band (Jimmy Fletcher) The Star Harmonica Band (Jimmy Fletcher)
During the Depression in Glasgow, Jimmy organised unemployed young men into harmonica bands. They would busk around seaside resorts and collect enough to get by. Some made it into the theatres. Jimmy was the funniest man I ever met.

Collaboration with my online amiga Tricia Baker.

The Cultural Imperialists Have Got Me The Cultural Imperialists Have Got Me
I just realised that about 90% of the popular music that I have liked and listened to over the years was American or had its roots in American culture.

Blue's Not The Word Blue's Not The Word
I dug into memories of break-ups for this one. A heart-rending tale of woe . . .

Everybody Says Everybody Says
This is about someone who plays the social game wonderfully but is not so nice when the doors are closed. There's a lot of 'em out there!

Just another silly love song (hmmmm, heard that before somewhere . . .)

My old flame . . . My first serious girlfriend treated me far better than I deserved. I've often thought about trying to find her and tell her so . . .

Bitter Relics Bitter Relics
My first and (in retrospect) faintly ridiculous marriage to a French lady not noticeably convinced by vows of fidelity. Broke my heart she did . . . Yee Haw! ('Twas a long time ago and besides the wench paid for the divorce!).

Turn Your Back On Me, Baby Turn Your Back On Me, Baby
A true story - a lady whom I considered a good friend saw the relationship differently and things just went bad. I just heard she's getting married, so something worked out for her at least!

Brand New Day Brand New Day
I saw an ad saying "What does freedom mean to you?" and the first line - "Freedom's when the bank blows up" popped into my head - I had just received one of their interesting letters! The rest of the song was just hard work and enterprise.
5/11/2004 Classic Rock
Hard Upon The Road Hard Upon The Road
My first pro travelling band incessantly toured the Scottish Highlands in a beat-up Ford Transit. At nights we'd camp out - half of us in the van, the others in a tent. It was hard upon the back never mind the road!

Pines And Rain Pines And Rain
With an eye to chasing a publishing deal, I sat down to write a mainstream country narrative. I guess I don't have a mainstream bone in my body 'cause it turned out like this!
4/24/2004 Folk Rock
First Man On The Moon First Man On The Moon
A country-rock number about my first love - the one whose father called me Frankenstein! A beautiful dark-haired girl called Joan with a touch of the gypsy about her.

Her Father Called Me Frankenstein Her Father Called Me Frankenstein
This is all true except he called me Lurch (anyone who can make a song with the word "Lurch" in it is welcome to try"!)
