If you like what's on offer here, my tracks can be downloaded on my website, gerrysongs.net.  Drop me an email if you can't find a particular song.  I was born in 1954 and learnt to play guitar during the 60s blues boom.  I used to be a total blues nut but I've mellowed to the point where I can appreciate other music of black origin.  My favourite guitar players are Johnny Winter, Rory Gallagher and Pete Haycock from the Climax Blues Band (the most under rated band of all time) but I have listened to an awful lot of Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Peter Green and of course BB King.  Favourite singers would include Sam Cooke, Bill Withers and Ray Charles.  For the girls, let's have Gladys Knight and Chaka Khan.  Songwriters, Paul Simon and Carole King, not forgetting Willie Dixon and Chuck Berry.  I started writing songs as soon as I had the basic chords down and joined a band so that I could sneak some of my compositions into their repertoire.  There were many bands and I occasionally managed to persuade some of them to record, but that used to run expensive.  Nowadays, with modern home recording equipment, I'm working through my whole back catalogue.  I play as many of the instruments as I can myself and it's a lot of fun.  Discovering Soundcloud has been really great; listening to other people's music is inspirational and energising.  Thankyou to everyone who has taken the time to listen to my efforts and mega thanks to anybody who clicked on "like".  Words cannot express how wonderful it is for me to see those little hearts.
