You Are Always On My Mind - (Partridge Family cover) - remastered

Ok, I'm going soft hehe.  Was jamming the other night and we started doing all these seventies tunes..  We had to scrape ourselves off the floor laughing with this one, but I've always kinda liked this tune, and well hell, its Cher, how cool is that.

I found this some the night before a full band practice.  I stayed after practice to teach this one to Brian, We called ourselves "A Version Therapy" as we both had enough issues to go around. (We would eventually become Train Wreck. Really like Brian's great late night leads.  (we call em C leads)

Have been meaning to add some vocals on this one.  Was inspired today when  came across Donnie Osmond singing this one, which I'd never heard before.  I liked his version and I stole his backing vocals  (sort of)

Ok, here is my finished mix of Muscrat. Had alot of fun with these vocals, though I lost my voice a bit yesterday, just can't get the real high notes, but I like the effect I got.  Hopes you all like it.

Been meaning to get back to this one, finally did.  Added the backinh harmonies and then threw some on the end as well, Could have played with that all night... alot of fun.

Starman - (David Bowie Cover) - remastered

I'd forgotten about this one.  Just came across it yesterday and it made me written all over it.  Hans would have loved it...... or hated it maybe :-).  Hurricane Smith was a sound engineer who worked on the early EMI Beatles recordings through Rubber Soul.

Heard this on the radio sung by Dionne Warwick today, just had to do it

Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head - (Dionne Warwick Cover, BJ Thomas) - remastered

I always thought Madness wrote this tune.  Found the original today by Labi Siffre, who I sheepishly admit, I'd never heard of.  Really like his stuff.  I raised Labi's key by a step and sing it an octave lower.

One Day At A Time - (John Lennon cover) - remastered

This song has always depressed the bejesus out of me, but I really love it.  Wonderful story about how it was written, Henry Gross was visiting Carl Wilson only to find they both had a dog named Shannon.  Henry wrote this one thinking what it would be like to lose his dog.  Inspired by Carl's Shannon though.

Denis and I threw this one together.  I always liked the arrangement but not too keen on the words for this one.  But it was fun to sing anyway.  No overdubs, denis on guitar.

This song always reminded me of my Aunt Claire.  Nice tune from Gilbert O'Sullivan, 1972 I believe.

One of my favorite songs from the Band Split Enz.

Charlie - (Split Enz Cover) - remastered

The full band is arranging Blue Moon and I was on youtube to find a version by Cliff Richard, to get some ideas.  I came across this one sung by Cliff.  It's made famous back in the Seventies by Charlie Rich.   I remember my dad learning this song when  I was a kid.  I always liked it.
