This is a song for lovers of small dogs; it is about a cute little Moodle pup named Phoebe and Ruby her owner.

Loving Phoebe (resurrected after deletion)

This song started out many years ago as a novelty party spoof on blues. I would ad lib the lyrics and improvise an accompaniment on acoustic guitar which meant no two performances were ever the same. See Retrospection’s Facebook page for a sample.

Recently I decided to do a serious blues rock version and this current track has been inspired by the blues rock style of Eric Clapton and the licks by other blues artists. The lyrics still do contain just a little hint of the mischievous fun from the old party days.

Back Fence Blues (Revised)

Lyrics;
I'm in the middle of nowhere
A long long way from my team player days
Hop skip and jump from the freeway
But you're gone for miles no matter which way

Another day's blending in with the last
I'm passing the time that flies past me so fast
I rise in the morning and try to keep pace
As this kid in my mirror reflects an old face

Think of the places I'd once been
If I could would I go back again?
The air here's gone stifle and stale
And I'm in a rudderless boat at sea with slack sail

Thoughts travel back to the days of my teens
To my torn flannel shirts and bell bottom blue jeans
When I knew it all though I hadn't a clue
And someday was when I'd have something to do

Well, I'm growing old that's a stone cold fact
I try to look forward can't help looking back
Been feeling restless but don't really know
If I'm I too set in my ways to pull up stakes  and go?

I'm in the middle of nowhere
A long long way from my headier days
A hop skip and jump to go somewhere
But I've been there before and I've nowhere to stay

All of the days blending in with the past
Blurring the spaces between the first and the last
Why rise in the morning and try to keep pace
When the kid in my mirror reflects this old face

Been so long since I was wild and free
Leaving to chance the future waiting for me
The middle of nowhere is all I could find
And what might have been has left me behind

I'm in the middle of nowhere

The Middle Of Nowhere

#10 2023 une année mémorable ou à oublier?

Ruby asked me to write a jive song, so this track is my response to her request. She is the mother of four daughters whom she loves dearly. Ruby was a good artistic roller skater in her younger days before becoming an acclaimed coach of figure skating. She took two of her daughters to international competition. She was also well regarded throughout Australia as a teacher of ballroom and new vogue dancing. Severe back pain in later life has forced her to retire from the activities she loved so much.

To me, the highlight of any camping trip is the evening campfire. There is something magical about sitting there gazing into the flames while you converse with any company you may have. This song celebrates such a special occasion.

I was fortunate enough to go on a hot air balloon flight a few years ago and that eventually inspired me to compose this song.

This track Clouds on Fire is the instrumental version of a song I released a few months ago with the title Fire Balloons. I nearly always compose my songs with instruments like the oboe acting as place holders for the vocals. It struck me that this particular composition would go well as an instrumental in its own right, so here it is for your enjoyment!

I am a solo recording artist who produces his own original music in Tweed Heads West, NSW, Australia.
 
My songs are released under the band name Retrospection. The joy and satisfaction I get from making music and sharing it, is my reward, although I do like to receive some recognition for my efforts!

Back in December 1963, after graduating from high school in Brisbane, QLD, Australia, I formed the rock band The Avengers in which I played lead guitar and sang backing vocals. We were semi-professional, playing any or all of the nights from Friday through to Sunday.

After two years I had to leave the band to take up a teaching career. Throughout my life I kept up (unpaid) entertainment as extra-curricular activities in the various schools in which I worked.

Unfortunately, I am no longer able to give live performances because of health problems.
