the sound of youth --you could convince me this was a Crowded House deep album cut-- and wonderful crash landing end  --thanks for posting this Kevin!!

Such a rollicking jam Kevin, must seem a lifetime ago, right? ...also getting some hints of Squeeze:)

Always luv getting a new Mr Cagey tune. I agree with Jeff this has a Crowded House vibe (saw them live in Toronto at Masey Hall back in their hayday) -- luv this tune!

Written by me old self around 1999
Recorded to 8 track tape and mixed straight to cd. Had the the help of a few musical buddies with this one.

Mr C: Intro guitar, beats,rhythm guitar, riffing, keys and lead vocals
Steve "Go" O'Rourke:  backing vocals
Tony "Big Fella" Turner: solo and fiddly bits of guitaring

This is an exploration of different sounds and genres. Trying to push the limits and step out of my comfort zone.

Exploration Station

I was a bit bored, picked up my guitar and decided to record a slow version of this great old time country/gospel song.

Just A Closer Walk With Thee - (Raw Cover by Tony)

With a lot of change in life recently, I found myself thinking about a poem I wrote as a high school student. Here is a rough sketch of that poem...

While thinking about all the people that died with Covid19 
this music came into my mind. 
This is some kind of modified Cover from
Stairway To Heaven (Page,Plant,Led Zeppelin)

I changed the setup and the instruments to my favorites.
I hope you like it and remember with me all the people
who can't hear music any longer. Or perhaps they can?

StairwayTo2021

From the album “Short Stories”, released 22.01.21

End My Days (album version)

Original Lyrics by Tony Harris (below)
Vocals, Music, Instruments and Mix by Glenny G's One Man Band   

I SAW HER WALKIN' DOWN THE HALL
THE PRETTIST GIRL OF THEM ALL
SHE DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT ME
WHAT COULD THE PROBLEM BE

I ADMITT THAT I WAS SHY
A VERY QUITE KIND OF GUY
WHY DIDN'T SHE LOOK MY WAY
ON THAT PARTICULAR DAY

(CHORUS)
DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK A PRETTY GIRL OUT
BELIEVE ME I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT
DON'T LET IT BE SOMETHING YOU'LL REGRET
DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK A PRETTY GIRL OUT

WHY DIDN'T I TRY TO TALK TO HER
AND ASK FOR HER NUM-BER
WHY DIDN'T I GIVE IT A TRY
INSTEAD OF BEIN' SO SHY

THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO
WILL NEVER FORGET THAT DAY 
DON'T BE A SHY KIND OF GUY
I'M TRYIN' TO TELL YOU WHY

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(SOLO)

(REPEAT CHORUS)

SAW HER WALKIN' DOWN THE HALL
PRETTIEST GIRL OF THEM ALL

Catch Me If You Can

Well hello,
If you have popped over from my main and current music page Mr Cagey, (Link below), then thank you very muchly. Or, if you just bumped into me by accident, no worries, why not have a listen anyway.
Here you will find some of my older recordings made between 1987 and 2012. They were all recorded using an 8 track Adat tape recorder through a Seck 12 8 2 analogue mixer, except Number One which was on a Fostex Model 80 tape machine. No mastering, just mixed straight to a stand alone Philips cd recorder.(Number One mixed straight to cassette)
I really appreciate you taking the time to visit and lend an ear to my old stuff. Please feel free to comment and share if you wish.
