Rick Estrin & The Nightcats - The Circus Is Still In Town (The Monkey Song)

Hey… The angle of the sun is getting higher in the sky, and is also melting the snow. The rabbits, deer and various birds that frequent the yard are happy about that. I am as well. I was surprised to see several robins that had overwintered here. Usually they hightail it when the autumn chill sets in. That makes for some strange and sad truths about climate. I cleaned out the growing containers in the small greenhouse, and will plant them with all sorts of salad greens, from seed I grew and saved. This year’s planting will be a couple weeks earlier than usual. It is still too cold outside to do much beside snow shoveling, and there is over a foot of snow on the ground, from recent storms. It is almost mud season though, where the snow melts and mud abounds. In some places here, it is best not to travel along certain roads as the mud, known as ‘gumbo’ here, sticks to everything like glue. Once, I was walking and the mud built up on the soles of my boots, as I was uplifted off the ground by a couple inches. OK… this song. Not really a ‘song’. More of a moment of exploration. A lot of distorted overdrive. And some new ideas I stumbled upon on slide guitar, while recording. All of which is a great way to make peace with the world, as it is today. It seems I tend to make ‘noise’ in those sad moments of personal reckonings. And lucky for you and your ears you get to listen to it. Maybe not though, huh? Always a pleasure, having you drop by, Mark

FREIGHTTRAIN

After a year off I thought I'd ease my way back into recording with this electric version of a song I wrote back in the 80's, which I used to play simply with acoustic guitar.

I Was A Fool

Blame it on the Blues

A very quick lay-down of a favourite tune of mine.
How's everyone feeling this fine bank holiday weekend?

Crunch Time by The Pythagorean’s

Songwriter and guitarist

This is a collection of home demos of (mostly) my songs that I have made over the years, including some collaborations with Derek Evans. Oh, and there's a couple of demos from Sacred Blue Walrus, a band from my past slipping further out of sight by the day.  Hope you enjoy.
