Another original song that I recorded over 30 years ago on a four-track cassette deck, and while I'm much improved as a songwriter and musician, (30 years so), this was good enough to catch the ear of a internet-surfing DJ from BBC Radio who listened to it on MySpace Artist, and then wrote me and asked if he could play it on air. From there it was picked up by stations in the Philippines and Indonesia. As a result I now have a substantial fan base and recording contract with a top label, all thanks to this rather noisy, very old recording of a young, inexperienced musician just finding his way. Thank you, Paul Miller of The Paul Miller Soul Show ... I owe you everything, buddy!

Tiger's Baku Live @ Horsefeather's (2.5.81)

The first song I ever recorded on my own, from 1979 ... very basic as far as repeating drum program and in mono, but it was written for my first "true love", and there's something about this song that is very poignant ... I may re-work and update this for a future project.

Come Back

A song I wrote and recorded in 1985, which WILL be re-worked for the new album ... this recording has given me a lot of new exposure recently on overseas radio ...

Chill Comin' On

The 4th incarnation of this song that was never completed - no vocals, but this is closer to the final arrangement that will be on the album.

B What U Can B (4th arrangement - no vocals)

The 3rd arrangement of this song I recorded about 30 years ago, this version also on the 6-track cassette deck, so better sound quality, but this is also unfinished, with NO vocals or solo. This will be re-produced and updated for the album.
