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
I love motorbikes and rode them for years although I don't have one now. The song is pure fun. I originally played it solo with a bottleneck on acoustic guitar. This is a live performance with the band Da-Da - in which I was the lead vocalist - at the Caspar Inn, Mendocino, California in 1982. Chris Diurni plays the lead guitar. John Bush plays the bass. Tony Vito plays the drums and Bonnie Kirkpatrick plays the keyboards. Best played really really loud.... The band kicks ass and Chris really wails!! God I loved that band.
Lyrics
Well I've got a chopper that's long and lean A kind of motorcycle like you've never seen Oh it's a mean machine Yellow black and green Got a rocket in the socket A teaser in the squeezer A pair of gypsy ladies in between Well it shines in the night and I keep it clean I lock her out'a sight and I treat her like a queen She's my mean machine Yellow black and green Got a stereo divider A master over-rider A hyper sensitivity screen Ride it! Well I'm riding on a technological dream I'm gonna take you places you've never been On my mean machine Yellow black and green Got a tingle in the jingle A rumble in the jungle A multiple dimensional gleam Ride it! Yes I'm riding on a technological dream I'm gonna take you places you've never been On my mean machine Yellow black and green Got a stereo divider A master overrider A hyper sensitivity screen Yes she's my mean machine Yellow black and green Got a tingle in the jingle A rumble in the jungle A multiple dimensional gleam Ride it! Wheeehoooo!!!
