Goodbye Dreams |
In my quest to write some of the most old fashioned sounding music I can, I added this one to the canon today. It literally came out of nowhere. I've been fiddling in the key of G with A7 chord played... Posted by on Mon, 15 Jun 2009 20:36:00 GMT |

Another Song |
I wrote this song a LONG time ago, at least 20 years. In one sense it's depressing because it stands up just as well as anything I'm writing now. So much for development as an artist! On the other han... Posted by on Sun, 24 May 2009 18:40:00 GMT |
Inside |

Judgement Day |
Here is yet another attempt in my adventures in minimalism. It could almost have been a single voice, unaccompanied, but I chose to record it as I wrote it, with the guitar providing a bare skeleton.O... Posted by on Fri, 24 Apr 2009 00:09:00 GMT |
Come Another Morning |
I wrote this song today (Sunday, 12th April, 2009). I had been thinking for some time I'd like to write a song with longer passages on the same chord, in contrast to many of the jazz type songs I do w... Posted by on Sun, 12 Apr 2009 01:35:00 GMT |

With 10 songs now able to fit on our profiles, I needed to do something fast! Of course I didn't, but having that extra space I burned with desire to fill it.I've had 'Long After Midnight' for some ti... Posted by on Sun, 05 Apr 2009 02:56:00 GMT |
