SPIRIT OF ROCK 'N' ROLL SPIRIT OF ROCK 'N' ROLL
On one level, “Spirit” tells of a guy continually searching, trying to find the band of his dreams that play pure rock 'n' roll. On another level, it can be interpreted as the Spirit, or ghost, of Buddy Holly wandering through the fog-bound streets
LOVE MAKIN', HEART BREAKIN', SON OF A GUN LOVE MAKIN', HEART BREAKIN', SON OF A GUN
As the title suggests, it's the story of a lovable rogue - a wheeler dealer, who is constantly on the run, doing his best to stay one step ahead of the law.
DUSTY ROAD DUSTY ROAD
I originally envisaged this as a theme song to a TV series. The character, not wanting to be tied down, moves on from town to town, in & out of various love affairs & misadventures.
WORKING IS THE CURSE OF THE DRINKIN' MAN WORKING IS THE CURSE OF THE DRINKIN' MAN
This was inspired from a quote by Oscar Wilde. I saw the framed quote hanging on the wall of the Ettamogah Pub & decided it would make a good song title. A definite drinking song!
A LITTLE BIT OF SUMMER A LITTLE BIT OF SUMMER
A Ballad written to express my feelings about the woman I love - what more can I say!
THIS IS LOVE THIS IS LOVE
Nothing much to tell on this one. I wrote it with the specific purpose of having a catchy-line the listener would be singing by the end of the song.

BOOGIE WOOGIE COUNTRY BOY BOOGIE WOOGIE COUNTRY BOY
A tribute track again - this time to 'The King'. Although his name is never mentioned, it's more than obvious who the title is referring to.
STILL GOT THE BLUES FOR YOU STILL GOT THE BLUES FOR YOU
I wrote this when I was standing knee-deep in a life sized, cardboard cut-out of a melancholy mood. What I had in mind, was an after-hours, smoky bar - empty except for the piano player and the guy drinking, trying to forget his lost love...
ANOTHER RAINY NIGHT ANOTHER RAINY NIGHT
A bluesy love-lost song with 'rain' obviously a metaphor for tears. I thought, by the time I finished writing it, that I could probably have fitted it on an old Elvis soundtrack.
LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW
Washington Irving's classic tale of 'The Headless Horseman' has always been one of my favourite stories. I had an inner urge to retell the tale set to music.
