A live rendition of XTC's classic track, but with the added twist of a broken string and repair during the start of the tune!

Fossil Fools (XTC Tribute) - Making Plans For Nigel (Broken String 12" Live Remix)

I'm just some elderly nobody farting around in my basement studio.  I like chords that taste like Rembrandt paintings. But I only wish I experienced synesthesia.



I've been recording my original music (and covers) since 1970.  I just love the process of recording and engineering... I'm never more in the zone than when I'm critically listening to a mix for the umpteenth time.  That said, at my advanced age and after a lifetime of standing in front of VERY loud amplifiers, I have significant hearing loss in the high frequency range.  I hope that anyone who chooses to listen to this lifetime's worth of work will call it to my attention if I've accidentally over-emphasized the high frequencies of any particular song, thanks in advance!

I've had the privilege of working with some supremely talented people throughout my career.  People who must be mentioned are (in no particular order) Alice Bohn, Paul Abrams, Jay Mattingly, Annette Shepherd, Ashley Shepherd, Roger Klug, Ty Masterson, Jill Haarlander, and so many others that my poor, withered memory fails at the moment.

I never wanted to make any money from my music.  I just wanted people to hear it and enjoy it as much as I felt the magic from the music I've loved in my life.

I hope you enjoy this stuff.  :)   If anyone would like to watch me playing music live, with some very talented people, there are plenty of videos here:  https://www.youtube.com/grxymkjbn
