Shadows of dreams. Shadows of dreams.
My friend Denise Lowndes Tanner, wrote these lyrics back in 72. I added the music, melody, and have kept it alive for 50 years. This is my latest take. Bob Grant on drums.
John Mason band /collab Rock General
Frustrated. Frustrated.
Guest vocals = James Plant. John Mason = All guitars. Drums = Bob Grant. Bass = Brad M.
Searching. Searching.
Written about that Girl from the sky. That perfect Spiritual Lady.
Unwind time = middle lead. Unwind time = middle lead.
This is the middle 5 minute lead that goes in to the dream state, of the song, than back to the hustle and bustle. Clark Quigly and I on guitars. Dave Landes = bass, JeffX on drums.
Brick lady Brick lady
Ah, Brick Lady, written early 70's by my brother Gary Mason, Bob Grant and myself. Think I have recordings of this in every band I've played in since then. This one is the latest, recorded by the Burns brothers, John, Jake, Brad, Butch, Steve, 2012.
Backbeat. Backbeat.
This was written in my mind on the way home from work at Stockton PAC for a video my friend John Breitzman was shooting called Backstage. Written and recorded in 4 days by me, I played all guitars, bass and Bob Grant played the drums.
Me and my guitar. Me and my guitar.
Wrote this during the 2012 Deracho in South NJ. I lost all powers for a week. It was100 out. I slept in basement during the day. I would keep the generator going for the fridge, wired my pump to plug in and filled tub so I had warm bath. Survival.
G dream G dream
An idea I have been playing with for a year or two. Recorded with a Telecaster, Ibanez analog multimode rack unit on flange mode, in to my studio.
Release the pain. Release the pain.
I wrote this a long time ago, and I really don't remember why, but I was pretty down at the time. I am fine now. I played all parts, including the drums.
(I want to get) Faster (I want to get) Faster
A song I wrote, as performed by our old band. "Star Riders". David Landes= bass. Clark Quigley= Guitar, Jeff, JeffX on drums, and me. A live recording. I have no plans to ever re record this, so if someone thinks they might like to rock it, Lmk.

This is an old band, "Star riders" recorded live. Dave Landes, Clark Quigley, Jeff X, We were primarily a cover band, but over time we added 25-30 originals. This is one of my songs we did.
I'm sleepy. I'm sleepy.
Wrote this in a haze one morning, early 80's, then went back to bed. Acoustic idea.
Into the horizon. Into the horizon.
A song I wrote, at the Farm, 72 or so. A demo performed by the Burns bros. 2010-15. Jake, Butch E, Brad M, and I.
I'm in love I'm in love
Circles. Circles.
Just an idea for fun guitaring. That is Brian McKenna, on drums that we added. Ty.
Sunshine days. Sunshine days.
A song idea I wrote, mid 70's in my experimental days. The answer to the world is near.
