I had my first 4 track cassette recorder when I was 16 and I've still got most of the recordings, but you won't find those here! Some funny, some stupid, some ok bits, lots of rubbish! 30 years later I'm still writing and recording my own stuff - drum machine, bass, guitars and keyboards - (which I'm learning). Soundclick is breathing a bit of new life into my music - it's giving me an outlet, a meeting space, a place of inspiration. I hope that in the coming year, there will be some collaborations and swapping of music, thoughts and ideas. I do seem, however, to be spending an awful lot of time at this computer.........

Story behind the song
My favorite thing is blasting along the beach in my kite buggy being pulled by a power kite (big kid huh?) Recently I bought a kite called a Nasa Star 2 made by Born-kite.de in Germany. After seeing some of my videos on youtube (user name: quedecree) Steffen Born asked me to write a song for this particular kite. This is the result. "Shoot the breeze' normally means to talk about trivial stuff while passing the time, but I thought that if a kayaker can 'shoot the rapids', surely I can 'shoot the breeze' with my kite....... and of course, I had to make the music video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MTHdLhkcrM
Lyrics
I just wanna fly I just wanna sail across the sand No one else in sight When I'm going faster than the wind When my body's moving, I've got everything I need Blasting through the air waves and I'm cruising at full speed Leave it all behind me and the wind will set me free Just gonna shoot the breeze Doing my own thing Cruising with my wing across the sky a brand new Nasa star Got a brand new way to get me high I just wanna fly With my Nasa Star across the sky Cruising with my friends And we're going faster than the wind

always like songs driven by a guitar riff. lots of energy in this. a very pro recording, as always. the percussion is so crisp. nice vocals and the tone on the guitar chords is great.

It has been a good while since I have dropped by, although I play the CD you made for me from time to time. This is sounded good to me. Is this song about your Kite Buggy riding? Nice upbeat feel good rocker, sounden great to me! Might be fun to do collab sometime again? Those where fun. Cheers!
