Dont Dance Dont Dance
Yet another from my busking days. I was objecting to some hecklers in this one, rather than my unpopularity.
Noone There Noone There
Another from my 1990s busking collection. Sorry about the quality. In those days I recorded everything on a little cassette recorder.
Hard Dough Hard Dough
This is an actual recording of me busking on the streets of Fremantle in the 1990s. Hard Dough was one of my experiments that I never really took seriously beyond busking. Badly played, but authentic "me".
Fast Move Thing Fast Move Thing
This is a Don't Give Up thing from when I was a busker. It's about two tramps, each keeping each other's spirits up. Down but not out. I have probably published it already, if I have I'll review each upload soon.
Two Tipsy Hobos Sing I Get The Blues In The Night Two Tipsy Hobos Sing I Get The Blues In The Night
Imagine two hobos in 1930 sitting around a campfire by a railroad track. I've given it a radio feel with a filter. I recorded this one back in the mid-1990s when I was a busker and liked to imagine myself in depression era America.
Anytime Man Blues In Three Parts Anytime Man Blues In Three Parts
This is later than 1990s, about 2005 I think. It was on a Pink compilation cassette, around the time of her fourth album. She had great songs for a couple of albums there, Vietnam and Love.
My Alien Hears Voices-Much Too Fancy Blues My Alien Hears Voices-Much Too Fancy Blues
At times busking, being on the spot to perform, produces one's best. This is another from my busking days in the 1990s. Originally called Schizophrenia".
Street Corner Mad John Happy Street Corner Mad John Happy
Another from my 1990s busking days. As you've probably noticed a lot of my stuff is super stuck on what cool guys in my day called "helicopters', but this is different.
Take It Gently Blues 478069 Take It Gently Blues 478069
Another of my busking songs from the 1990s recorded on portable cassette. I recorded both the "live" on the malls and my practise sessions at home. The number at the end appeared when I uploaded.
They Think You Are Sick Chipmunk Blues They Think You Are Sick Chipmunk Blues
From my archive, an old busking tune from my 1990s which I stupidly turned into chipmunks with the cassette dub trick on my duel player. It's about the heavy penalties for being suspected of mental illness.
The Line The Line
Advancing my two string wiles and ordinary clickety click, this one seemed natural, although it is not, for me, about anyone in particular, save a club that might, theoretically, bandy my name for private glees.
The Ballad Of The Lost Surf The Ballad Of The Lost Surf
Idea of mine. The vocals on the last verse could be better.
Frankenstein Wasn't Alone Frankenstein Wasn't Alone
Yes! It's an addition to my earlier work on Spooky!
One Tree Blues Part One One Tree Blues Part One
More a sound effect for a movie part. I have common riffs I play often. This is "forced variety"!
Alien Tension Blues Alien Tension Blues
I'd like to say I'm just messing around, but that would be conceited. Actually I'm rather proud of thinking of this riff (actually two) and putting it all together about a month ago. Certainly I enjoyed making it spooky in Soundbooth!
Ode To Red Roosters Blues Ode To Red Roosters Blues
This is Red Rooster Blues. I don't know what the rule about this not being my idea is. I'm looking into it. My songs are freebies. Hopefully it's OK.
You Got Me Jumping Blues You Got Me Jumping Blues
Simple blues thing with slight new mini-riff I did this morning at about 7 a.m., 31 03 2015.
Happy Yet Sad Blues Happy Yet Sad Blues
Actually, it's more about the musical idea that precedes the song/
