Silly is always all the better when it's deep silly, that is when one's got the chops to really go there, like you fellows have.

Great track.  Guitar is superb.  Arrangement is great.

Absolutely lovely. How did I miss this. And, yes, humour is in all jazz!

Superb all round. Derek is the kiddy, ain't he. Magic stuff, man!

Really lovely sounds, funny jazz at it's best! Lovely guitar.  Lyrical throughout. Good GG on bottom end.

Getting Bread

This track did not make it on my album https://tcfsr.bandcamp.com/album/between-awe-and-rawness because of legalities. No download for this one therefore, and may be available for limited amount of time.

As a denizen of thefretboard.co.uk guitar community I
have been a regular contributor to the periodic 'Fretboard
Composition Challenges' under my forum username of
SteamAbacus.

Every 2 or 3 months there is a new challenge with a
different remit - these can range from as simple as
(Challenge #11) -
"Freedom! - Record whatever you like! No time
limit!"

through the more technical (Challenge #3) -
"Chord Fun. Create an audio track a minimum of 1
minute and a maximum of 2 minutes in length using
only the chords Bmaj7, Gmaj, Esus4 and the notes
within them"

to the downright silly (Challenge #9) -
"They said it couldn't and shouldn't be done but to
save the world you must compose the ultimate funky
folk mash up song! Go forth and ruin music forever,
good people!"

My compositions have ranged from simple guitar &
looper based recordings to fully-fledged tunes multitracked
on the computer. Part of my motivation in undertaking
these Composition Challenges was to familiarise myself
with my 'new and improved' computer recording set up -
which, for me, actually means a WindowsXP computer
running CubaseSX! Not without reason do these
productions go under the name 'Steam Abacus'.

This collection is a chronological record of each of my
submitted compositions and my struggles to embrace
modern (or not-so-modern) digital recording technology.

My thanks to Sheldon (Antique_Guitars on the forum) for
organising and to all the other contributors to these
Fretboard Composition Challenges.

I Have A Door! (from 'Fretboard Challenged', FREE album at steamabacusproductions.bandcamp.com)

I started this a couple of days ago, stopped added some more yesterday and then added vocals and guitar today - don't worry, there's no singing! The middle bit is the scary section - woo-oo-ooh!!!

Big Scary Monster With Big Shiny Teeth

This recording is about 4 years old I found it and thought =I'd post it

GOING DOWN

Does humour belong in jazz? it does when i play it. This track tries to portray a slightly drunk jazz band and also a slightly drunk member of the audience
Derek Cornett plays Schmazzy Jazzy guitar and a brief fusion wankfest and Gus Goad plays a mean walking jazz bass and he also helped with the musical arrangements. I messed around on a Roland xp30 keyboard (vibes and drunken brass)

Tom said "Fancy doing Superstition?"
We all said "YES!" 
Tom put an initial music bed together which was amazing, of course! Hedd sang the heck out of it and Rick laid some serious drummage on it. I added my stuff and here we have it... enjoy strutting your funky stuff! "Remember! Free drinks tonight!"
