'Flute' solo (outro) played on vintage Tokai Strat using the Fishman TriplePlay wireless midi controller.

Special thanks to Bruce @Conover for suggesting the lyric "On his hands" and initially putting the 'go more acoustic' challenge to me! I know I cheated more than a little(!) but the main guitar/rhythm is an acoustic Fender steel string, DI'd from a Fishman Pro Onboard Pickup System. The track did sort of grow...

SOUP FROM A COLANDER

He’s just a poor boy and no-one sees him straight
He’s eating soup from a colander
Living in a crate
He’s got some holes in his thinking
Got some holes in his heart
If he had his time again
I don’t think he would start
He’s got time
Oh too much time
On his hands

The world was an oyster the world was made of gold
We made him promises when he was young 
Before he got so old
He had some lines he has forgotten
Lines across his sand
He used to hold a candle
Until it burned his hand
Oh he’s got time
Oh too much time
On his hands
On his hands

This sad sorry broken world 
That blows paired swans apart
Promises said like nursery rhymes
Committed life and crimes... times...
Vows they’d never break...

He manufactures happiness 'keeping busy' times
He daren’t stop and look behind in case he reads the signs
He’s got some (holes in his thinking)
He's got some (holes in his hands)
You’ll often see him red-eyed
Sometimes taking part
He’s got time 
Oh too much time
On his hands
On his hands

The world was his lobster the world was made of yore
We made him promises when the world was young 
Before we got so poor
He had some lines he has forgotten
Lines across his sand
He used to hold a candle (for her)
Until it burned his hand
Oh he’s got time 
Oh too much time
On his hands...

Put your hands together everyone
He's crawling on his hands, yeah
On his hands...

!!!HOT NEWS!!! New Valuable Friends vinyl album and CD available! ALSO 2nd Deluxe Vinyl & CD+Booklet "Songs That Mean Something" See links below. 

Composer/Guitarist/Producer

Songs: We find them unpainted in our hands, throw them up into the air of our imagination, turning them in the colours we see after we close our eyes until they feel just right, and sometimes we catch them perfectly, without blemishing them...

My music is on most platforms for your ease.

Wow!!  417K+ plays and 4,000+ valued followers and friends on SC alone, that provide lots of wonderfully helpful comments that fuel the next track! Really big thanks to the SC community for listening and providing such brilliant feedback and support. It means so much to myself and my collaborators - huge thanks.

I work in different styles, as the inspiration, dreams or bubonic plagiarism comes! I use Logic Pro X on Mac.
 
I write, produce and play all my own stuff (unless otherwise stated), play vintage Tokai Strats mainly, PRS Torero, Steinberger, Gretsch G2627T, Classical, Fender Dreadnought, Yamaha and Rickenbacker basses, keyboards and sax. I use Native Instrument's Komplete, Omnisphere 2 and my own organic samples.

I mix on Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's and HD 650's (closed and open headphones) when not making a bigger noise through my Yamaha HS8 studio monitors. I use Focusrite Clarett 2Pre ThunderBolt and Apogee audio interfaces, Neumann & iSK condenser & AKG dynamic mics. 

Hardware: Feb 1978 Marshall JMP 50W Combo, BOO & BOSS stomps

I love collaborating with other musicians and will compose with, play guitar for, produce, arrange, master or even just hum along with other SC musicians. Please ask!

P.S. I am a long standing member of the Performing Rights Society and PPL through my old TV and theatre work as well as my record and publishing deals.
