A song about life, and coming to terms with things going wrong along the way.

Letting Go

An old song, that I needed to fall back in love with

Lovely Son

An old song, a sad song I turn to now and then.  We all have days like this, I think.  I recorded it in 2013 but didn't get around to mixing it.  For you guitarists out there, it is in the quirkly tuning of CFCFCF.  Played on my old Ibanez Lonestar, the old guitar mentioned in the second chorus.  It's shown in the picture.  

Rainy Sunday

Turning a finger style song into something more

Is She the One?

The Engine Must Stop

The Lonely Ranger

I got tired of trying to record the perfect track in the scant time I have.  I just set up a cheap mic in the bedroom and went for it!  Vocals and guitar are captured "live" - no overdubs.  No pitch editing.  Made a real quick mix and here you go.

Li di dee

A song about a love affair that will never end

Rosewood Mahogany

An idea that has been kicking around a while

Sally Sally

A fun track for all my friends working odd hours.  Channelling my inner Tom Waits.

Shift Man

An Old Friend

Folk Rock Alter Ego, Environmentalist, Guitarist, Armchair economist, Cyclist, Songwriter.  I believe in social justice - one day the Engine Will Stop.

I play a Larrivee acoustic guitar on most tracks, and I have a Fender strat to help me out.

Enjoy!
