Bored of being stuck in bed ill and weak (nothing bad), I plugged my tele and keyboard straight into my iPad. The bass idea is borrowed. Built the rest around it.

Halfweg is my place of birth. Its a Little village in between Haarlem and Amsterdam. The church is always been a beacon for me. Thats the place i grew.

Halfway Down

What can you say
Something's are better left unknown
Oh these dirty little secrets linger at the bottom of the pool
'n you wonder if it'll come to surface
Or will they dig and find what you've hidden
Oh, when they find what you've buried in the back under the trees
We're not talking trick or treat

Overwhelmed By the Blues

Au revoir M Le President
Au revoir et bon nuit
Vous n'avez pas la notre sympathie

Au revoir,  Nous sommes désolés 
Le puissant babouin, il a trompé
Overwhelmed by the Blues

You can't bring yourself to hear the bad news
No one taught you how to lose
Overwhelmed by the Blues

Not enough crosses - You didn't win
Far too comfortable  in your skin

Without your clothes now - We all see
You're a nought, a nothing  - History is what you are
The lame duck,  President Provisoire

Hero to zero in the blink of an eye
Not a tear to be shed as we wave you goodbye
Overwhelmed by the Blues

Au revoir, M  Le President
Au revoir et bon nuit
Overwhelmed by the Blues

Allez Maintenant!   Go find a wiper
One of your goons will change your diaper
You don't get no sympathy

Au revoir,  M Le President

Old No. 7 - Jamie Rhind/Tom Adams

Remaster of a track from a few years ago. 
This was really an excuse to play some Hendrix riffs. I tried to fit as many Hendrix musical and lyrical references as I could within the silly story. It probably only makes sense if you are a big fan like me.
 It is also my tribute to an amazing, visionary musician who has remained an influence  all my life.

The Hendrix Switch

Well I was walking through the crowds
With a pint of dark and mild
When a little man came up to me
Said he was a voodoo chile

His skin was green
And his eyes were blue
He said follow me 
I didn’t know what to do

The palms of his hands were hairy
I thought… better be wary

The crowd parted in his path 
As he made his way through the throng 
I followed close behind him, thinking
I bet this looks wrong

Floating just above the ground
He led me to the restroom
I went inside and found him there
Sitting serenely on a mushroom

My God.. the palms of his hands were hairy

He asked me who is the greatest one of all
I said Hendrix the lord and master
He answered with a smile
And passed me the note that led to my disaster


It said, “Hey-ho
Would you like to play like Jimi in a day”
I said hey-ho 
You better believe me right now

In the note was a diagram
Showing, beneath the scratchpate on a strat
Beneath the wires and cables and the pickups and the pots,
A small switch

It said “hey hoe
That’s the Jimi switch right now”
It said “hey hoe
You better take this omen down
Drink it down with your brown “

A purple haze came into my eyes

Well I ran straight home 
And took my strat from the rack
I took off the scratchplate 
And removed the plate from the back

And there before me, with an eery glow,
Was the Hendrix switch.
I thought.. I must have a go….

A purple haze came into my eyes
I didn’t know if  I was dazed or right
It got me blowing
Blowing my nose
Is it tomorrow or are the curtains closed

So a threw the switch in wild delight
My fingers flew like birds in flight
Was I happy
Or in misery
Whatever it was that switch had put a spell on me

So I played for hours
I played all ways
Through long, hot, summer nights,
I dreamed away rainy days

But when I tried to stop 
My hand would not let go
My brain said yes
But my fingers said no

Before I knew it my Strat rose up
And was behind my head in one smooth slinky jump

Get down I asked it, get down I cried
All to no avail as it slipped down my backside

I played with a pick and I played with my teeth
Thank god I was wearing thick clothes with no access beneath

My fingers were bloodied, my shoulders were bruised
My knuckles were red and my fingernails oozed


I needed to stop, I needed to rest
When I noticed the note laying there on a chest

At the foot of the page, in bright purple ink
Was a warning I’d missed in my failiure to think 

“Beware you lazy dumb son of a bitch
 When you once put it on, there is no off switch”

So I’ll play that guitar to the ending of days
When all light and all time and all things fade away

And if you are tempted to take a short cut
All you desperately need is a kick up the butt

Remember
“Beware, you lazy dumb son of a bitch
When you once put it on, there is no off switch”

Air (Instrumental)

We recorded this song twice recently, this is the slower tempo version. We collaborated with our friend Chris Whelan, who added the harmonica tracks. Thank you Chris!!

Oh Sister - Bob Dylan slower tempo (with Chris Whelan)

Morry recorded this cover recently...he did all the music and vocs - crazy. I've never heard this covered and I really like Morry's take on it, up tempo, guitars etc. ...hope you enjoy it.

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd cover

Baby I get no fascination
With your pretty face
It’s just I want my sticky fingers
Roaming ‘round your place
Dollar bills misplaced in pockets
Of your forgotten coats, are
Enough to feed my nasty habits
Bless me I’m the pope
Of dope and lost hope, ah

I climbed right into this gutter
Didn’t need your help
You seem to think that I want better
That I might elope
Well I got news now darling
My heart is true
Just not to you my lover
What’s a girl to do
Well adieu

I have seen the light
Don’t show me
I know the world is cruel
You said you’d do what you could to help me, well
Fifty bucks would do
I know you can’t stand to see me
So pull your eyelids low
Open your eyes
I’m not the one who’s lying
To me
It’s you, oh
