A timeless icon of the girl group era, and a key influence on generations of pop songwriters and vocalists. Ronnie Spector's initial commercial success with The Ronettes — a group formed with her sisters Estelle and Nedra – was never really repeated, following her traumatic partnership and marriage with producer Phil Spector. Regardless, Ronnie continued to release beautiful pop music, collaborating with the likes of Joey Ramone, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel & many more.

VOL.TRE

BE MY BABY

I covered this song once before utilizing a "backing track" because I couldn't find drums for it. That backing track also had the bass & horns in it, so it wasn't really "me" covering it... it was just me on vox & guitars. I decided to give it another go using Arnaud Krakowka drums while grunging it out a bit more. I also decided to try & keep that 60's flavor as much as I could, mainly by keeping the background vocals prominent. It's such a great song... everyone on the planet likes "Be My Baby" by the Ronettes!

She Talks To Rainbows - Tribute to Ramones Version

A song I wrote with Neil Young and Crazy Horse in mind, and with a Ronnie Spector outro.  


Airborne (Hensongs 2025)

I am flying home again
I should be at her door by ten
I'm flying home to the one I love
Soaring through these skies above

My mind is wandering again
Scribbling on this brochure with my pen
I'll be so happy when we touch down
And I can take a cab across town, to her

The air hostess is coming my way
Her warm smile's brightened up my day
The captain says we'll land bang on time
Everything is going just fine

I am flying home again
I am feeling pretty zen
I can't wait to hold my babe tight
I've missed her so much on this flight

Airborne

I have played guitar since the age of 14 (around 1990 give or take) & I still play to this day... only now instead of playing live or seeking to be in a band, I record my own music at home! I use Audacity software (free!) & basically use a mic to record my guitars, bass & vocals through my various guitar amps. Drums I "program" by downloading tracks from youtube & chopping them up to suit my needs. I write my own music as well as record covers. I'm not a singer & all of my vocals are achieved by doing multiple vocal tracks to create a harmony that is otherwise lacking. Sometimes the results are ok, sometimes it sucks. Either way, making music & taking care of my cats are the 2 main reasons I am on this Earth. I hope you enjoy some of my stuff!

we play punkrock'n'roll and rearranged songs 50's 60's in a punk rock key
