Sound advice, full of family fun, first vocal adds verve, the second vocal adds authenticity to the lyric and those maverick mambo keys, move over Dr Spock let Adam take over, I love it!!!

Nice one. Well done to those involved...charming!

Love it! Those babies grow up and end up being your drummer and bass players!😊😊

Good to hear your great music again, Adam. Have been away for a while!

Everything is working so well together on this...

Delightful, such a lovely feel you have created here. Joyus.

Fun,humorous,instructional and magnificent.

Your talent for making the banal fresh is quite something

this is a one mic recording, just me and guitar, catch the world. 

Catch The world (acoustic)

This is a song I threw together on the bass and keys, and my friend Tez put down the guitar. I really like the result. He's a very talented musician, who knows how to add dynamic energy to any song. Originally, I conceived this as a funk tune, but it got less funky and more straightforward as I worked it. Hope you enjoy our efforts.

Be good to your babies
Give them what they need
Be Good to your babies
Keep ‘em nice and clean

When a baby is new
You must keep your heart true
Be true to your babies
Baby it’s you

Be good to your babies
And don’t you ever stop
Be good to your babies
Give ‘em everything you got

When a baby is born 
You must keep that boy warm
So be warm to your babies
Baby I’m yours

Don’t start wars
Sweep the floors
Teach them to dance
Give them a chance

And be good to your babies
Teach them how to read
Be good to your babies
And when they are asleep

The moon like a shell
With a secret to tell
Says be good to your babies
Be good to your babies

And be good to your babies
Yeah be good to your babies
Be good to your babies
Be good to your babies

Babies
Be good to your babies

Be Good to Your Babies

Glimpse Of A Ghost

This music is a journey around the Circle of Fifths.  The lyrics are about a person not sure of what he sees is real. Or, maybe, it's ghosts. 



Lyrics;
Glimpse Of A Ghost
It was early one morning
With this feel of unease
I heard a great gust of wind
flowing strong through the trees

And a touch out of nowhere
Right through my soul
I opened up my eyes
To a room as black as coal

Out of my bed
as the sun's on the rise
An image appeared
Before my eyes

A wisp in the air
A spirit set free
A glimpse of a ghost
What else could it be

A glimpse of a ghost
Is it all in my mind
A slighty blurred vision
That I can't define

A haunting lost memory
That leaves me engrossed
An unexplained mystery
This glimpse of a ghost

New mornings would pass
With visions anew
Vague apparitions
Clouding my view

A caution, a warning?
A call from the past?
A glimpse of a ghost
Or the shade that it cast

A glimpse of a ghost
A future declined
Leftover dreams
Is it all in my mind

A brief touch of death
Things I fear most
A caution, a warning?
A glimpse of a ghost?

The Escape Room (III)

B-Zagreb

Baby of the 80s, teen of the 90s, obsessed with the 60s and 70s; an FM wannabe in a Youtube world. I guess I just wasn't made for these times. I like songwriting in the Gershwin, Tin Pan Alley, Lennon/McCartney tradition. I prefer records to singles. I prefer three minutes to ten.

According to my mama, I was whistling before I learned to talk. I played organ in the Memphis garage rock scene between 2000 and 2016. I've done a lot of studio work, adding keys to records by songwriters that I really admire.

I'm now focused on recording my own songs. I have a minimal home recording set up with a laptop, microphones, cheap guitars, drums, piano, and a grab bag of other toys. All my lyrics rhyme with the truth, or at least I think they do. 

Life is short and there are more good songs then there are raindrops. Which is to say: thank you very much for lending me your ears.

Rock 'n' roll is dead, long live rock 'n' roll.
