The Golden Bell The Golden Bell
A story song. Not autobiographical...I've never run away to sea. If I could go back in time ... perhaps I would.
A Little Boat On A Big Ocean A Little Boat On A Big Ocean
A slow moving ambient instrumental
Looking Through Dark Glass Looking Through Dark Glass
A song with lots of guitar interest. A song with lots of vocal harmonies too. Just for your information. I used my red Yamaha MSG Deluxe guitar. Bass was as usual my Rickenbacker 4003. all played through a Line 6 Pod Go unit.
Ghost Train Ghost Train
Waking From Hibernation (2024 re-mix) Waking From Hibernation (2024 re-mix)
A slowly evolving experimental piece. I recorded this in 2009. I was influenced by mid-period Soft Machine at this point in time.
Polk Salad Annie (2024) Polk Salad Annie (2024)
I recorded this in 2011... I've just tweaked the EQ very slightly for this 'upgraded version. My first recollection of this fabulous song is hearing the version by Tony Joe White at the tail end of the 1960s. I loved it immediately.
I-95 I-95
My 'cover' of a song by Fountains Of Wayne. I've stayed quite true to the original. For those who like to know this kind of thing, I used my Yamaha Pacifica 612V through a Line 6 Pod Go, with a Marshall JCM 800 amp sim. and a 4x12 cab, close miked
Awake In The Land Of Dreams Awake In The Land Of Dreams
A semi-automatic improvised recording. There was no pre-planning here. I just let my imagination carry me along as I improvised.
Never Let Her Slip Away Never Let Her Slip Away
My 'cover' / re-imagining of the classic by Andrew Gold. I've given it the 'Major Snagg treatment'. There's a touch of 'Twang' and instead of saxophone solos, as in the original, I've added some interesting guitar solos.
A Dreaming Fool A Dreaming Fool
A song about missing someone very special to lots of us in this crazy mixed up violent world.
STILL LIFE (Yorkshire) STILL LIFE (Yorkshire)
It's basically just what it says on the tin ... a high energy Pop Rock song.
Now And Then (1965 version) Now And Then (1965 version)
A re-imagining of the recent 'Beatles' song, Now And Then. Just Imagine that it was recorded in 1965.
Deep Ocean Swell (during a full Summer Moon) Deep Ocean Swell (during a full Summer Moon)
An experimental psychedelic surf tune. All guitar sounds are from a Line 6 Pod Go unit. I used what Line 6 call, Grammatico Bright. I believe it's based on a Fender Twin Deluxe amp. It sounds pretty nice with my Yamaha Pacifica 612V on this tune.
Blue Autumn Blue Autumn
A mid-paced multi-layered guitar instrumental that came together initially from very simple chords. An instrumental inspired by the season of Autumn. There are fleeting elements of, Jazz, Rock and Twang. I like to mix it up a bit.
The Strangest Thing The Strangest Thing
A Pop Rock song with plenty of guitar interest and pleasant vocal harmonies.
Danger At The Heart Of The Empire Danger At The Heart Of The Empire
An alternative Victorian 'Gothic' mystery. "Watson, have you got your service revolver?" "Yes Holmes and it's loaded" "That mad-man Moriarty plans to bring down the government and possibly the whole of the Empire. He must be stopped".
Strategic Lies & Untruths #2 Strategic Lies & Untruths #2
A guitar instrumental with the occasional vocal interjection

Invisibles [Eyes Across The Room] Invisibles [Eyes Across The Room]
A gentle love song of sorts mixed in with a realisation that all good things come to an end. Lots of guitar interest in this one.
