Hi folks. I have added a lot of videos recently. Please take a look!
Hi folks, This site acts as a personal archive of my work. So you'll find my best recordings here as well as some pretty crappy ones. The earliest recordings here were made on simple cassette decks, others were made on mobile phones, some are live recordings made at various gigs over the years, a handful were made in small recording studios, but most of the more recent ones were made at home on a Zoom portable studio, which itself is now rather ancient! If you like a song and want to download it, click on 'Full song info' for that song and you will see the download link. You can also read the lyrics and any background information on the songs that I may have added. All my music is available for free - enjoy :) cheers, Charles

Story behind the song
This is a live performance with Da-Da from our gig at the Caspar Inn, Mendocino, California on August 7 1982. Chris Diurni plays lead guitar - and plays the most amazing solo that just gets better the more you hear it. What a tour-de-force. He was a true guitar God and - dammit - he went to rock and roll heaven too soon. Bonnie Kirkpatrick on the keys. John Bush on the bass. Tony Vito on the drums. Funk groove and a touch of anarchy... the band having fun... That's Chris and myself in the picture btw... maybe at the very same gig ..I don't remember.
Lyrics
You see me in the morning Walking down the street You know I look like any guy Like any guy you meet It isn't so surprising That you don't know my name Cause every room's an island here And everyone's insane Oh I'm a strange fish What do the neighbours say? He's such a strange fish Keep your kids away! Away! I never thought I'd fall so low Or feel so ill at ease Just when I think I'm getting up I'm pushed back on my knees I'm facing into suicide Searching for a friend Somebody better help me I'm coming to a dead end! ............... Late at night it's lonely And the city closes down I climb into my closet And pull the curtain round All my friends are strangers I guess that's what I like Could it be the things we do That make you so uptight? Oh we're the strange fish What do the neighbours say? They're such strange fish Keep your kids away They're such strange fish They're such strange fish They're such strange fish They're such strange fish!
