This Lonely Night

This is my first attempt at an out and out country style song. Hopefully I mean that in the Bruce Springsteen country style rather than Dolly Parton. The song describes a long lonely night of anguish over a tragic fight. Enjoy...

The Man In Me

A gentle acoustic song that accelerates throughout to a slightly rockier finale. It is really a song about finding your true self in unusual (although hardly unpleasant) circumstances.

Can't Find My Way Home

A bluegrass Neil Young-ish feel to this song about what we English call Tramps and the Americans call Hobo's. This one was played on the www.homemadehitshow.com podcast and reviewed kindly.

I play guitar and sing against backings that I have created using various software tools. I am therefore a home recorder primarily concerned with minting decent recordings of my own songs rather than a performer.

Have you performed in front of an audience?

I do play live since it beats the alternative, however I don't really play in front of audiences because of their annoying habit of throwing things.
