Hi. My name is Douglas Murphy and I hale from Montreal Quebec Canada.
I have been playing around this 'craft' for a while now and have always enjoyed getting my 'stuff' out there.
Lately I have been playing around with AI generated vocals and melodies. I hope you enjoy what I have to offer.

And Counting
(11.10.06)
(Intro)
Following the needle trail I found our Christmas tree.
Reminding me that I had better be good.
Pick up my clothes, pick up my toys and “Try to keep it down.”
I know I can, I know I should because….
(A)
Five days and counting until it’s Christmas Eve.
Mom’s been running like crazy, sayin’, “She can’t believe.”
Daddy’s goin’ out again, “There’s always something thing more.”
Five days and counting. Not two, three or four.
(A)
Four days and counting, I’m getting good at this.
Take out the garbage, don’t bug my little sis.
Daddy can I help you bring mommy her cup of tea?
Four days and counting. Not one, or two, or three.
(A)
Three days and counting, I can barely eat.
I’m much to excited, forget a good nights sleep.
Mom says I’m feeling antsy. Whatever that might mean?
Three days and counting. Not one, two, but three.
(A)
In two days it’s Christmas, I can hardly wait.
Two days and counting. Look at the date!
Santa Claus is coming. What am I gonna do?
Two days and counting, Not four, three, but two.
(A)
Tomorrow it’s Christmas, one more sleep to go.
I’m staring at my ceiling now that I know.
I’ve put out the milk and cookies, some carrots for his deer.
One night and counting. Can’t wait ‘till next year.
