Written&Recorded 2007ish With my mate Big Willy Gumkin.
Will created this amazing trak and gave me the honour or throwing a vocal melody and Lyrix over it ....along with bunch of other Trax.
I recorded the vocal believe it or not,  through a Marshal  80watt solid state amp with a Shure 58...
straight into the crappy old Pc.
We intended to rerecord this in a studio but life didn't take there.
I picked this trac as the first upload  cause life travels by so quickly... best we remind ourselves everyday.... lets enjoy every moment of life with each other in kindness ....Best we can!
Sometimes we live it without realizing how Good it is....
Thanx for Listening  ..............MAR    

Life Goes By

This was recorded At Fleetwood  Studios [Jeff Wright] round 2004.
Lots of very late nights and we hours of the morning
Brendan Myers[ Reggie Rawhand ] and I wrote this song together along with many other tunes .
We certainly had some magic happening for a while.
The band Was Freight 2000-2006

I do love sleeping under the stars regardless of the weather.
You really feel part of this earth


Starlight Hotel

This version was recorded At Fleetwood Studios [ Produced by Jeff Wright
Farnam band, Ross Wilson, Max Merrit etc etc,] round 2004.
Band ....Freight

This was the first track we wrote together almost before we were even a band 
 Chris Jetson and I recorded it one afternoon on a very average Cakewalk programme 
It was quite exciting as we realized we had some sort of musical chemistry happening.
In the late eighties and nineties I spent alot of time in bands playing very late or even early hour timeslots in the northern suburbs.
Woke up some mornings pretty indisposed and wondering where the hell I was.
Back seat of my or someone’s car, park benches, laundry matts with warm dried sheets? 
Fun days a bit blurry...... but survived.
I wrote this song with those days n nights in mind.
I Suggested to Brendan to listen to a few Lenny Kravitz tunes in regards to the solo.
I was really impressed with what he came up with ....Very cool!
I have another version of this recorded a The jam tin.
Has a different bass line in the chorus that Will played.
Jeff  played bass on this version of  chorus suggesting it was a bit busy.
Be good to compare down the track.
Thanx for reading.


Cold Sober

I have been lucky enough to collaborate with some very talented musicians of many years, dating back to the mid 80s.
Covering many genres and facets of music.
Some of those people I am still close to and I thank them for the inspiration and friendship
I found when creating music, sound and melody together you have in most cases a soulful connection that can stand the test of time. Some sort of fellowship that is nurtured.
I guess in all Art forms there is a common goal, maybe even a yearning to create.
True Art in my heart is created without ambition of fame and fortune or material gain
 Let’s face it reality isn’t always Kind...................
......But pure intent to balance the Anxieties of life, breathe character into your subject something that is profoundly a part of all cultures........... Music.
Music obviously has a universal language that colours our world. 
So if you’re interested in hitching a ride on a journey covering my collaborated music that has never been released for an array of reasons that are not worth pursuing.
I will upload a trak or 2 every few days ...ish when I have the time.
Tracks of different eras of my life, different musos and bands.
Although most tracks have been performed live.
The production and even the integrity of the songs maybe questionable.
It’s not my intent to upload in my eyes the shiniest tunes
Good, bad and ugly I will let you be the judge.
Thanx for Listening 


Cold Sober
