After Midnight, Food is Food After Midnight, Food is Food
A random remark made by my musical buddy, Steve, led to a song. This is a reconstruction. The original was similar, but I don't recall it exactly.

Do Your Remember Do Your Remember
The problem is that I do remember this song. With much reluctance I finally recorded it and had fun doing so.

I Think About You all Night Long I Think About You all Night Long
Wrote this when I was 17. It wasn't even about a particular girl as far as I recall. It was just a mindless, obsessive, love song.

Albert Ball Albert Ball
Albert Ball was an 18 year old fighter pilot who died in the first world War.

As Beautiful as Dawn As Beautiful as Dawn
A song I created in my teens from musical fragments, recreated from scratch -- different, but similar

Eyes That Blew away a Storm Eyes That Blew away a Storm
The melody on this is very haunting, as witness I remember it perfectly after 45+ years having not heard it once.

Heart of the Winter Heart of the Winter
A song I wrote when I was 17. The chorus is exactly as was, musically and lyrically. The verses are different in both ways because I very imperfectly recall the original.

We Got Your Number - He's Got my Name! We Got Your Number - He's Got my Name!
Old school rock

Wyndham Way Wyndham Way
This song was the title song for an entire album of music I wrote when in England. I believe I wrote this just after my 18th birthday, which occurred when I was in England.

Rock Iron Soul Rock Iron Soul
Another song where I recall the refrain and the general feel. However, the lyrics are all new, unless -- by dumb luck -- I included some of the originals beyond the repeated refrain.

Toilet Symphony Toilet Symphony
The elements here are as close as I can get them to the original. Three things: native chanting, speeded and reverse orchestra, and strange electronic sounds -- the originals were recorded at the Science Centre in Toronto, these I generated.

How can this Pen How can this Pen
Another song from my teens that wouldn't leave me alone.

Living in Luxembourg Living in Luxembourg
This song was off of Steve and my fifth album, which was -- for reasons I forget -- entitled "Foot Fungus". Steve was 50% the writer of this, so if he stumbles on this page and wants his name credited, I will be very, very happy to oblige.

How I Wish I were a Beagle How I Wish I were a Beagle
I wrote this for my puppy Tigger when I was 17. It is relatively short, but extraordinarily repetitive and aggravating.

Echo Echo
There were 3 songs on our sixth cassette album that involved a LOFI echo technique. This was one. The lyrics from the original are all included, but some extra have been added.

Garbage Theme Garbage Theme
Based off of Garbage Band's first cassette album. The lyrics were the same -- except for the part about being buried. There was a three note riff, close to this. The original was untracked just two guys banging guitars.

Skateboard Baby Skateboard Baby
Wrote this one on piano and guitar at age 17. It was on our third album. It didn't sound like this, because I couldn't play very well at the time, and -- more importantly -- we couldn't track. Had to choose. Did it once guitar, then piano.

Magic Highway Magic Highway
Another song off of 'First Journey to the Sun in a Jeep.' This was actually track #2. I loved it then, and I still like it now.

Girl you were so Young Girl you were so Young
One of the many love songs I wrote in my teens. These sorts of songs used to drive Steve up the wall -- so saccharine sweet , but I was always a hopeless romantic.
