Artist picture
We are four semi-professional muscians/composers who got together recently to get over the winter blues. We gained access to good recording facilities near where we all live and decided to release Mike Cockett's compositions. Back in the 1970's Mike made several intrumental/childrens stories which were never published due to his wife being ill. In January this year his eldest son Miles transferred these cassette tracks onto CD. This resulted in the "WINTER SUNSHINE" CD which contains 8 instrumentals and 5 songs. Some of these tracks are included on our site but due to the age of the cassettes the quality is not to our standards however the copyright of the tracks is available for outright sale from $300 each. Tracks from the "ROLLIN'" CD are from $500 each. The tracks are in demo form requiring your own individual signature. We supply the tunes, you make the money from them at a small cost for their purchase. If you are interested, then contact us and we can issue a legal contract transferring the copyright from us to you. All we want to do is right the songs for you to preform.

Story behind the song
All the failed artists who have tried - how they tried, but the little woman was always there to pick up their little pieces.
Lyrics
Got me guitar at the age of nine Learned a few chords, Didn't waste my time Went electric in my teens With blue suede shoes and matching jeans I travelled the country to make it big Suitcase, guitar, new town, new gig Several weeks of strumming around made me wish I was homeward bound Chorus And I just look at the signposts to home wishing I wasn't alone Towns and places I'd pass through to bring me home again to you. Do I go home or do I say? Be in your arms or strumming away Lure of the lights is such a pull I really can't decide at all. Groupies and booze are not for me I don't need them. Surely you see. It's just the money and all of the fame I get my kicks from playing again. Your call last night got me in a spin A situation I couldn't win "Come on home," you said, "Three good meals and a nice warm bed" Do I come home or do I stay or do I stay? In your arms or strumming away Lure of the lights is such a pull I really can't decide at all. If I come home and be in your arms, away from the stage and all it's demands The thought of the lights and instant fame, will draw me back on the road again and I will look for the signposts to home, pointing to you, all on your own Towns and places I'd pass through to bring me home to be with you Which do I choose. The music or you? Every time the music wins through Stick to the music, that's what I'll do. Selfish decision - but what about you?
