Home and Dry Home and Dry
Fingerpicking guitar instrumental. This is all one guitar with no double-tracking.


1001 Rag 1001 Rag
An authentically styled ragtime piece, this is all one guitar with no overdubs or multi-tracking. This is the final version and is shorter and a little brisker than the previous ones from 2009 and 2012.

A Piece of Peace A Piece of Peace
From The Simplicity Suite, an expressive and sophisticated-sounding guitar instrumental but, as the name (almost) implies, quite easy to play!

Rising Tide Rising Tide
An expressive classical guitar piece from my Simplicity Suite, dedicated to my dear friend Sandy Allen who died 15th April 2009

Little Elsie, Little Elsie Little Elsie, Little Elsie
Very easy guitar instrumental from my collection, The Simplicity Suite

Simplicity Simplicity
Easy guitar instrumental, the title track of The Simplicity Suite

Maybe I... Maybe I...
Guitar, vocal and fretless bass combine to mourn the loss of a close friendship, puzzlement as to why, and despair at the impossibility of trying to act normally.

In the Woods In the Woods
Love song with intricate fingerstyle guitar accompaniment incorporating arpeggios, a little counterpoint and, in places, a chromatic bassline.

Don't Look Down! Don't Look Down!
A short teaching piece from my forthcoming 'Simplicity' suite

Missing You, My Darling Missing You, My Darling
A moving song ... Oh, yes, it is! This is a preview version, with the guitar and vocal recorded together.

He's Singing It for Me He's Singing It for Me
Vocal with counterpoint-style guitar accompaniment. The finished version as on the album.

Remortgage Blues Remortgage Blues
The original recording of this fingerpicking guitar instrumental. This is all one guitar with no double-tracking, a bit rough as I had only just written the piece, and it was still taking shape.

News, Weather & Archers News, Weather & Archers
A series of scenes from my young days, with musical illustrations. If you grew up in England in the 'sixties, you'll groan in recognition. If not, you'll probably be baffled. Gilly is my sister - and every word IS true.

I Don't Write the Songs I Don't Write the Songs
'I Don't Write the Songs, I only write them down.' This song is not related to any other with a similar title. It has a very unusual slow 7/4 timing but doesn't really feel like a broken beat. Well, not the way I hear it, anyway...


21 Days (Under Your Heart) 21 Days (Under Your Heart)
Dual purpose song. A gentle but rather trite pop-ballad if you don't take the words literally. A firm stand on society's most controversial subject if you do...

I Was Tempted I Was Tempted
I've often been asked whether this song is autobiographical. But I'm not saying... Pic by Leanne, order from www.intricateart.com

In Praise of Nerds In Praise of Nerds
The title says it! A sincere song, with nifty but quite easy clawhammer guitar accompaniment, FREE tablature on www.travellingrecords.co.uk/differentwindows

Lively short guitar instrumental, an imaginary folk dance tune. I've posted the lyrics here, but they are not on the recording
