Recorded in two hours on Garageband on a Macbook with thanks to friends. Tons of fun.

Every Day Is Like Sunday

This is an instrumental song I wrote to test my home recording system, Logic Pro 9. 
I play everything on it except the strings and the piano. It's about driving through Montana a few years ago on my way to visit my friend Toddy in Billings. Some roads in Montana had no speed limit back then, and this song represents doing 95 miles per hour under the widest, cleanest blue sky I've ever seen. Everybody should try it.

Big Sky

A song I've always liked. Written by the great Motown songwriting team Holland/Dozier/Holland and originally recorded by R. Dean Taylor in 1966. This was a 'Northern Soul' classic back in England when I was a youth. I love the fuzz riff.

Ghost In My House

This is probably the most adventurous song I've ever written, and definitely the most difficult to mix. But after mucking around with it, fixing vocals and guitar bits I'm finally finished. I'd still love to hear what a big time professional producer and mastering engineer would do with it, but that's a little out of my price range. Unless I can find a way to blackmail them somehow................

Cruelty's Virtue

Stream of consciousness lyric over a bass riff I wrote and recorded on a Fender Telecaster through a dub/reggae bass setting in Logic Pro 9. First take on the verses, worked harder on the harmony part. I was also experimenting with guitar sounds and found an odd Jan Hammer type synth sound by accident in Logic, which I think gives the song a lighthearted feel. At least I hope it does. I was thinking about all the crap politicians say to us and to each other when I wrote it, and how different things might be if everyone was allowed to drop their guard when communicating with each other. How deep.......is your love, senator/chief/your title here...........

Sunburning

A song I wrote describing the ups and downs of marriage. My wife has been a true saint for standing by me during a long period of medical problems and job losses I've had to deal with, and this song is a tribute to her patience and understanding. I love you Sandra. And it's all about to turn around for the better.

It's Always Been You

Back in the days when I played country for a couple of years. Todd Deming on vocals, Dan Matthews on bass and magical harmonies, Larry Fanjoy on drums and myself on guitars and a couple of harmonies. Good times!

Wolfcreek-Cold One Comin' On

Wolfcreek-Just What I Do

Wolfcreek-She Couldn't Change Me

I like to write and record songs even if no one hears them. I also write books, sometimes as a ghost writer. I'm published as such on amazon.com. I play in three bands, and love them all for various reasons. I stopped putting sugar and sweetener in my tea and coffee but still occasionally have to have a Terry's Chocolate Orange. I enjoy space travel, architecture and french onion soup. Even the packet mix is decent if you do it properly.
