You've amost done 300 tracks! No steps back for you mate - 2 steps forward, 3 steps forward! Unstoppable and so consistently brilliant. No one can catch you (y'fecker).

cool Jimi-style vocal, got all the ingredients here, riff has that "Born Under a Bad Sign" shape - love it (Gordon)

So many of us were touched by Jimi's genius with the guitar. It's well represented here, Chris. Chris

An absolutely icredible painting of Jimi Chris-you capture a joy on his face,in his eyes...xo

Jimi Hendrix literally taught me how to play music. Before I could get down on the guitar I heard 'Red House' and that was it, I had never heard anything so beautiful ever. Some thirty five years have past since that song came into my life and I can not explain how important he has been to my development as a musician. I really tried to listen to what he was laying on me and I felt a connection to him that I had never had in my life. I have maintained that connection with out pause and consider every song I do from the ears of Jimi, as if he could help me to understand what the mix wanted to be. Its not just guitar playing, it's arrangement and production that have rarely been bested when you look at the amazing body of work he recorded in the short time he had= he gave everything, and imagining a world without him - well I would have never been writing this now.
So this is not a Jimi Hendrix composition, but I can say with honesty that he still lives through our dedication to his work, and I offer this as tribute and thanks to James Marshall Herdricks, who died 29 days before my birth, and who gave us so much in so little time.

This artwork I painted in preparation to record this song that I wrote in dedication to Jimi Herdrix.

For a dear, dear friend whom I have massive faith in. 

Dare to Dream
It takes a lot 
to pull it off
to hit your mark
when no one is looking
It's harder still 
to not lose your will
when your strength is fading

And I know you try so hard
Each and every day
Trying to pull it all off 
so you can find your way
but if you could just see you
from behind my eyes
you'd see it's your time
Life is waiting

Simply Dare to Dream
Sometimes we must just believe 
There are mysteries
Each One waits wishing 
to be free
In each question an answer 
wrapped inside
to life unfolding of each day
It's not our to know
but just wonder why
But what we do 
is only ours to say

DARE TO DREAM 
TO RISE ABOVE 
TO SEE THE ROAD
THAT IS IN FRONT  
TO FIND THAT PLACE
DEEP INSIDE 
THAT TAKES YOU PAST
THE FEAR THAT 
BINDS
DARE TO DREAM
TO RISE ABOVE
THAT PLACE OF FEAR
YOUR RUNNING FROM
DARE TO DREAM 
TO FIND 
A PLACE OF PEACE
LIFE IS WAITING

Uptown man
never really
gave a damn
no bones at all
just a film flamm man
What you need son?
I got it
I got all the shiny things
shiny things
I got all the shiny thing
shiny things

What do we
even know
at the end 
of the day
we’ve been
lost in 
market speak
and we’re 
running out 
of run way
If we really need
all the 
shinny shinny things
Then we may 
have to choose
between them 
and breathing 

Lizards and Androids
Oversized deltoids
Corruptionon a cosmic scale
Wizards with backpacks
Bus driving sleestacks
I just took a ride 
on a flying squirrel 
Where is the outrage
Of the unpaid interns
As thier bosses expense 
all the strippers’ tuition 
but nothing else changes
when strange is the normal
We’ve all got our secrets 
When We all live sedated

I think the end section sounds like a mazie star track. but whatever. Its what came out today. peace. Guitar is almost all my tele,single, but there is a gibson track in there too. I dont know. good night, sleep tight. 

aint no body  in this world
born with all that you need
the truth is 
sometimes 
it takes
the whole world
To find out 
just what you really need

whats the point in trying baby
when nothing ever goes my way
Im so damn tired 
of just trying to get by
Sometime I can take another day

Ain’t nobody in this whole world
who ain’t gonna be
touched by pain

The truth is 
in life 
just to know yourself
And find out
just what
you 
really need 


watch the wind
whisper secrets
through these trees
forests that spring  
from  memories
we run to shelter
from the 
afternoon rain
All of these moments 
we must take

Sleeper, lyrics by Chris Pendergraft

She sleeps the day away
as if the day had never came
A waits for something
that never will begin
So warm this summer morning
But the daylight 
never makes it in

Shadows 
fold up all the corners
like blankets 
that 
cover up the bed
The light out side 
is waiting
But you must rise
and let it in

Sleeper 
Dream this day away
Sleeper 
Nothing in this world 
Will change unless you wake
So warm this summer morning
But the daylight 
never makes it in

Lost Is Lost
This is a song about letting go of what is lost, and appreciating the moment we live in. I'd rather not dig any deeper on lyrical meaning here. I think that we have these moments, that define who we are in the end, but if we look to hard at the past, we miss the moment we are in, and we get into a routine of life. It's a certain comfort we have, but we need to be open to the world, and that may require going out of our comfort zone, to explore the world.

they used to have something
that was perfect
in every way
not because 
they were strangers
because they always knew 
just what to say

and we
wonder in silence
where will time take us
Now that we’ve given up the wheel
for there
Once was a time when 
all that we needed 
was here

what’s lost is lost
it is smoke in the air
The perfect note  
that hangs just right
that fills the midnight air
what’s lost is lost
it is smoke in the air
The perfect note  
that hangs just right
that fills the midnight air

I must tell you something
cuz I want the whole
world to know
Aint no one 
in this big big world
Who could give me
such a  perfect love
and we
wonder in silence
where will time take us
Now that we’ve given up the wheel
for there
Once was atime when 
all that we needed 
was here

Lost Is Lost

I am lucky to have music in my life, as well as art. I hear music in my head and give it voice. Its just that simple. So as you go through my cloud, you will hear music from many genres, because I feel many things. We are all the same. We are all working this all out in different ways, from different places. That connection to each other can be felt, like the wind, but it is unseen, so if a song reaches out to you, reach out to me. I am just a person trying to work it all out.
All my music is free, unless you find it on iTunes, but some albums are only there so if you dont have any money let me know what record you want and ill send it to you. 
So I paint, and I do the art for all the bands I write for, and a whole lot of other bands, so I am blessed because art is divine. Anyway, if you want to book one of my bands, or whatever, want to sing one of my songs (they are all open to that) just reach out to me on Facebook or instagram. Send me a mail if you need me to support your track here on soundcloud, or if you need art for your music. Bless you.
