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
Recorded on a little cassette deck in Rose Bay, Sydney in 1972 during my first visit to Australia this version of a song I later performed with Da-Da to great effect has extreme acoustic slide guitar effects towards the end worth waiting for! Tony Reid accompanies brilliantly.
Lyrics
I've got a chopper that's long and lean It's a kind of motorcycle like you never seen Oh it's a mean machine Yellow and black and green Got a rocket in the socket And a teaser in the squeezer And a pair of gypsy ladies in between Well I'm riding on a technological dream And I'm gonna take you places that you've never been Oh it's a mean machine Yellow and black and green Got a stereo divider And a master over-rider And a hypersensitivity screen Hyper - sensitivity! Well it shines in the night and I keep it clean Well I lock her out of sight and I treat her like a queen Oh she's a mean machine Yellow and black and green Got a tingle in the jingle And a rumble in the jungle And a multiple dimensional gleam!
