🚐🎸 That gritty guitar tone and raw energy perfectly capture the spirit of a backroad van purchase! Love the storytelling and punk vibes. 🤘🔥

Very cool track.  Nice vocals and guitar.  Great collab.

When you’re brainstorming ideas for album covers, you never really think they might involve placing yourselves in the middle of a road as traffic bears down on you.  However, that is precisely what we did.
Now I’m not one to tell tales but it was all Gal’s fault.  He thought our front cover  should feature an image of the entire band, which was quite compelling aside from the fact that we lived in London, Hans in Hamburg and have in reality never met.  But Gal had a mate called Dan (who lives in Norfolk, hence the title), a professional photographer whose comprehensive knowledge of Photoshop could bring the three of us together.
We’d always loved the pre-fame, Astrid Kirchherr portraits of The Beatles, taken during their club-playing, Hamburg days and two of these became our template - in focus subject occupying the foreground, covert and blurred figure (in our case, 2  figures) in the distance.
And so it was that, armed with a pin-sharp shot of Hans, we met with Dan to photograph the background scene which, as outlined previously, was in the middle of a busy side road.  Camera in hand, Dan teetered on a plastic crate as Gal and me  dodged back and forth to avoid a plethora of oncoming vehicles - everything from lorries to mobility scooters - who were, on the whole, very accommodating in the circumstances. Some even smiled and waved - at least I think that’s what they were doing…
We owe Dan so much, not only for his consummate skills and kindness but also for laying his life on the line in the name of art.  This song is for him.  (Terry Reeves)

I met a man called Dan holding a magical light
Viewing future moments, giving individual sight
Shadows from Hamburg, combination of skills
Show London reflection of a figure standing still

Chorus:
A flash of light, picture to follow
In black & white, diverse as tomorrow

Stand high in right places, enchanted vision of art
Friend of ageing musicians, sorcery skills from the heart
A Wizard conjuring cover, Kirchherr’s copy of claim
Painting light into a picture, producing Album in frame

Chorus

Viewing from height - sparks of vision
Seeing it tight - artist precision
Know left from right - avoid collision
Negative in sight - develop position

Chorus

Confidence in commitment, enjoying musical tracks
Working four to an image, platinum vinyl plaque 
Black and white cover photo, a clue why, when and who
Monochrome life connections, enjoy vision past to new

Chorus

A feeling it’s time to give a show
A feeling making history grow
A feeling, a feeling only one way to go
A feeling thinking fast going slow
A feeling Duchars photos will glow
A feeling CC one day will all know

If you have ever felt caught in the eddies of your own….. creation
If thunder has ever echoed through your bones
If you can't make those rapids any louder
Then shout, so I can hear you beneath the foam

I'll lend you a hand

Wanderer

In these rapids wild, my spirit roams,
Where the waters rush, and dreams find homes,

I'm a wanderer

I'm a traveler lost in a swirling tide,
Searching for truth, in waters deep and wide.

I'm a wanderer

Pre Ch
Caught in the eddies of my own….. creation
Thunder echoes through my bones
Can't make those rapids any louder
Shout, cause I can't hear beneath the foam

Ch
I'm a wanderer
This current takes its toll
This water carries me
on this journey all alone

I'm a wanderer
This current takes its toll
This water carries me
on this journey all alone

I reckon with the choices I have made
And let the past slowly fade

Fade

Los peores sueños

No voy a ir 
Dónde no puedo 
Por ahí pueden venir 
Los peores sueños 
Pensaba en vos 
Mirando de nuevo 
El juego, el color 
El otro veneno 
Las luces veo al fin 
Alumbran el piso 
Cuando vienen a mí 
Se vuelven pasillos 
Perdido en un laberinto 
Cerca del río 
Me pongo a caminar 
La salida persigo...

LOS PEORES SUEÑOS-Christian

i’m already 
goin’ down
to the end of the story now
wind is blowing
to the end of the story now

come away   come away

time is bending 
drifting down
spin the hourglass all around
pulverize it
spin the hourglass all around

i’m comin’ after 
i’m comin’
i’m unembodied
i’m free

i’m already 
leaving town
train is rounding the mountain now
got my ticket
train is rounding the mountain now

come away   come away

Never again! The righteous are bold as a lion! Prove it!! Come on down… and meet your Maker!! Come on!!!🙏🙏🙏.

Furloughed Idiotic (Acoustic) 2025

This one is a very nostalgic song that I wrote back in 2008, it has that early 60's vibe to it. My wife I needed some good vibrations since we were dealing with her Breast Cancer treatments and all that. We really needed a feel good song and so I wrote this. I even got her to sing background vocals with me on two songs at that time, this being the first and "Back In Younger Days" being the second, I'll be making a video on that one later on this year. 
    I double-tracked Charlie's vocals and he sang it perfectly! I remember having a real good time at these sessions, lots of laughing and finger snapping and rockin' & rollin' and what not!😂 I always want to relive the good ole days where smiles were plenty and frowns were few, like on "Memory Lane"! 

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/h5xvwxljOZc

     The video is brand spanking new, I just finished it last week! I worked hard on it for several days and tried to capture that Beach Boys kind of vibe of the early 1960's. I finished the video after hearing the sad news of Brian Wilson's passing on June 11th, 2025. That really made me sad, another of my musical hero's now gone. He was a real musical genius! There are 3 parts to the song, all about guys begging forgiveness from their girlfriends for something stupid that guys always seem to do, I Still Remember that!😂
     I think this is one Miami Jeff's best songs and certainly one of my favorites. It's very catchy and is a perfect summertime song! So I hope everyone is having a great summer and is eager to take another trip down Memory lane with me. This time to the beach! Let your hair down, take your shoes off, put the top down on the convertible and let the good times roll! Ooh, Ooh! Ooh!😎✌🏼

“I STILL REMEMBER”

I CAN STILL RECALL THE DAY I MADE YOU CRY,    
HOW I HURT YOU, YES I HURT YOU,    
I’M SO SORRY I COULD DIE,
               
I WAS YOUNG AND DIDN’T CARE IF YOU WERE SAD,   
NOW I’M OLDER, YES I’M OLDER,   
AND I MISS THE LOVE WE HAD,
                   
I REMEMBER, OOH, OOH,         
I STILL REMEMBER, OOH, OOH,        
THE WAY YOU HELD ME TIGHT,           
THE WAY WE KISSED GOODNIGHT,      
I REMEMBER, OOH, OOH,             
I STILL REMEMBER, OOH, OOH,         
THOSE SUMMERS ON THE BEACH,      
THEY’RE STILL WITHIN’ OUR REACH,       
SO PLEASE,         
IF THESE WORDS SOMEHOW TOUCH YOU DEEP INSIDE,       
MY WHOLE WORLD STILL IN YOUR EYES,       
SO PLEASE FORGIVE THIS FOOLISH HEART OF MINE,

I KNOW I WAS WRONG FOR TREATING YOU THAT WAY,  
PLEASE FORGIVE ME, JUST FORGIVE ME,   
GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE TO SAY,

I WILL NEVER BREAK YOUR HEART AS I DID THEN, 
I WILL LOVE YOU, ALWAYS LOVE YOU,  
IF YOU FILL MY ARMS AGAIN,
     
I REMEMBER, OOH, OOH,        
I STILL REMEMBER, OOH, OOH,          
THE WAY YOU HELD ME TIGHT,        
THE WAY WE KISSED GOODNIGHT,       
I REMEMBER, OOH, OOH,             
I STILL REMEMBER, OOH, OOH,               
THOSE SUMMERS ON THE BEACH,      
THEY’RE STILL WITHIN’ OUR REACH,       
SO PLEASE,      
IF THESE WORDS SOMEHOW TOUCH YOU DEEP INSIDE,     
MY WHOLE WORLD STILL IN YOUR EYES,         
SO PLEASE FORGIVE THIS FOOLISH HEART OF MINE,

I STILL REMEMBER, DARLING I REMEMBER,        
I STILL REMEMBER, DARLING I REMEMBER,         
I STILL REMEMBER, DARLING I REMEMBER.

"I STILL REMEMBER" (Video - https://youtu.be/h5xvwxljOZc)

I was looking through an old external hard drive and found this track I recorded back in 2016. Figured I might as well share it now, because I remember liking it a lot at the time, but then I just sort of forgot about it. Trying to remix an old song like this was a real challenge. It's not perfect, but I did the best I can right now. Thanks for listening.

6.2.16

There are people who believe you should love your neighbor as yourself
There are people who believe you should share some of your wealth
There are people who believe that only the fittest should survive
And if you’re poor and you’re weak it’s up to you to stay alive
There are people who believe you should teach a man to fish
Instead of giving him all his food in an already cooked dish
There are people who have an empathy deficit
They see people suffering and they don’t care one bit
They wear religion on their sleeves but if you’re in the wrong denomination.  They look at you like you’re an abomination.
People who treat politics the same as a religion and if presented with a new set of facts they don’t even budge a little smidgeon
Billionaires who have enough money where they could end world hunger in one day
Do they see people starving and think it is okay. We’re stronger together than if we are apart
If we could see ourselves as passengers on the same boat that would be a good start
We all share this this tiny rock as it floats through outer space
This planet is the lifeboat for the entire human race
Billionaires who what to create a colony on Mars. Let’s fix things here on earth before we travel to the stars
The world used to be full of undiscovered places but now humans have put footprints everywhere.
The continents touch the same oceans, and we all breathe the same air We live on one planet that we have to share
We’re stronger together than if we are apart
If we could see ourselves as passengers on the same boat that would be a good start
We all share this this tiny rock as it floats through outer space
This planet is the lifeboat for the entire human race. Billionaires who what to create a colony on Mars.   Let’s fix things here on earth before we travel to the stars
