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

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

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

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...
(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

Life's wisdom written by my friend, the beautiful Canadian singer-songwriter Celeste Lovick. Arranged, played and sung by me, remastered from a rather lo-fi minidisc recording from April 2002.
