Lyrics 
Life's what happens when your making plans.
So seize the day and grab it with both hands
Love might only find you once, so love it if it does
And love it with everything 
We can lose it all in the blinking of an eye 👁️ 
Never see it coming however we try 

I’m discombobulated and a little bit overwhelmed 
This life is complicated and makes no sense 
Oh I scratch my head…

I do my best to try and work it out 
I do my best to try and figure it all out 
I might be older but I’m no wiser 
Wisdom never seems to come 

I’m discombobulated and a little bit overwhelmed 
Life is complicated and makes no sense 
Truth and beauty 
Lies and cruelty 
Such hunger and poverty 
Yet so much wealth 

Oh I scratch my head…….

Wisdom

Mama Said

Sixteen yards
Sixteen yards between us
Do we stop here?
Non of us want to start a fight
We locked our eyes in fear 

I stick to my pride, my stuff is in my pocket
Been all over the world on google earth and Elon’s rockets

You look a bit pale
Do you eat enough?
but your hair is shiny
It’s like marshmallow fluff

Sixteen yards between us
I think we better stop here
History will tell us
It’s obvious, it’s clear

I remember scouting and midnight fires
I remember ”love is in the air”
Promises and desires
Pretending not to care

I was eager but naive
Immortal and bold
You were soft and sweet,
a fairytale untold
Did we have a direction?
We were just riding a dream

Sixteen yards between us

Sixteen yards

Let the frequency find you

This is Just for me. The guitar instrumental hits of the sixties (especially by The Shadows) in the UK were my first real musical love. They were the reason I started to learn playing the guitar, but alas I could never aspire to reach the skilled playing of my heroes. After completing a project to  produce/generate versions of all of my songs ( or most of them) with Suno AI. I decided to create covers of those where I had used my original melodies BUT as guitar instrumentals in the style I loved so much. I have had so much fun doing this that I further decided to upload some of my favourites and create an album for MY listening pleasure. 

Maybe you can enjoy them too, depends on your age , I  guess; but do have aa listen and comment as I would love to hear your thoughts.

Idea for a piece I did not have time to complete on Friday afternoon, as I have other business to transact. Shall return to it on Monday and replace this with a final engraving. I post almost all of my pieces, including disasters because, to quote Kipling: 'triumph and disaster...those two imposters...treat them both the same'.

Sketch of piece for Monday

Beauty in the dark

Out Of Town & In New Sights

Io sono un autotreno
 
sappiamo che l'amore porta sempre le rose
e non  lasciare le tue spine come fai tu
bucarsi non conviene e poi fa sempre dolore
e non vorrei che in questo mondo soffra sempre di più
hai visto che un cieco può ancora vedere 
che un sordo può ascoltare le parole che hai
metti in moto la moto anche senza benzina
in subbuglio il mio cuore anche se non ci sei
la vita è un bordello con o senza colori
riesci a mescolare tutto quanto  nel blu
hai visto che la guerra poi non sempre conviene
ricorda che amarci paga sempre di più
lo sò tu sei maestra
medusa di città
una venere controversa
che al mondo non si dà
una semplice arrivista
vestita di arroganza
una terra di conquista
purtroppo  compromessa
io sono un autotreno
che corre verso te
e quando sarò vicino
non toccherò i freni

Io sono un autotreno

All my own AI assisted songs, are free to download.

I have been writing songs since1959 until the present. As a songwriter, I am more than happy with the wide range of songs I have written over the years. But my musical skills are quite limited and the early demos on Souncloud are of me singing  and accompanying myself on guitar or latterly ukulele. I can strum the strings well enough, but there my skills end.

Recently I discovered Suno AI and the results astounded me. I could finally produce demos of my songs to be proud of. I am currently going thru my catalogue of songs and producing AI assisted demos. I know many musicians turn away from AI but it has a place for me. There is no other way I could have obtained some 300 demos to this level. I do not and do not intend to look for any reward except the satisfaction that hearing my own songs gives me.

I am still writing and hope to have many more years of songs left in me, Enjoy if you can and I would love to hear your comments on the tracks, if the music moves you at all.
