very smooth balanced production Dave -- and good choice of collaborators with guitar ace Glen!!! This has a very Jimmy Buffett feel to my ears.

Enjoyed our collaboration . Nice writing Dave

Beautiful reflective love song of what could have been, or gained and lost.  The "image" is like the lingering scent her perfume.  Excellent collaboration and performances.

Fabulous track Dave and Glen , really like this !

I've been experimenting with a bunch of fun sounds this weekend, this is the result (or one of them ;-) ). I hope you enjoy!

GROUNDWORK

Stressed

(John Stone)

Life is a bitch
I’ve heard it said  
Some people even say they’re  better off dead
You’re in a hole
Then take control
Take care of business could be good for your soul

If I were you I wouldn’t get so stressed about it
Don’t waste the moment going OhOhOh
Instead of thinking what might happen and when
If something going to happen you can deal with it then

Let’s not get stressed Lets not get stressed about it
You should keep yourself together don’t get angry or depressed
Let’s not get stressed Lets not get stressed about it
Just keep calm and keep collected when bad feelings are expressed  
Let’s not get stressed stressed ….   

It’s true the future, may not seem  bright
And there’s no answer to the problems in sight
Just down the line  things could be fine
You often find and answer if you just give it time

Stressed

made this in less than an hour. don't bully pls

Here's another one of my early demos with Garageband.

I Miss You (Demo 2016)

There's a girl in my neighborhood
She turns all the heads
She looks so good
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
I gotta stop
Think for a minute
How much better this world is
With all of you in it
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood.

There's an old man
Just up the street
Sometimes he's surly
Sometimes he's sweet
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
I gotta stop
Think for a minute
How much better this world is
With all of you in it
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood

We don't have to be like
Best friends or lovers
We don't have to be
Like sisters or brothers
Ain't too hard to realize
To grasp or discover
We got nothing in this world
We got nothing in this world
If we don't have each other

Bunch of young kids
Playing on my grass
Obnoxious and loud
A pain in the ass
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
I gotta stop
Think for a minute
How much better this world is 
With all of you in it
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood

Now there's some people
I don't recognize
They're not from 'round here
I realize
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
I gotta stop 
Think for a minute
How much better this world is
With all of you in it.

We gotta stop
Think for a minute
How much better this world is
With all of us in it
My neighborhood
In my neighborhood

In My Neighborhood

Image of you

I paint till dawn this image of you
I'm so obsessed it's all I can do
Brush in one hand like a magic wand
Floats on a lake like a beautiful swan

Chorus

Until the morning light ...... Almost every night
I trace this image of you

The Canvas stays wet ..... In the future we met
I trace this image, this image of you

Where we've been nobody knows
Where we're going everyone goes
Life's not forever yet love never dies
Your past from a place rest in these eyes  

Chorus

Bridge

Why do things that never happen make me feel sad
Could it be our dreams are the future ahead

Our little Godchild in Uganda is 16 years old on Sunday. We wish her a lovely  
birthday, and I hope that she will be able to listen to this song I made about 6 years ago. I hope that she will forgive me for the rather bad recording quality!

Hi, the song is dedicated our little godchild in Uganda.

Lyrics:
The Little Girl from Uganda

The long, long  journey to the present time has been tough for the folks who are living in Ugandian fields.
The road was lined by outbreaks of war and dictators did not show any mercy.
But the people now will show confidence that everything better has become.

It wasn´t easy to be a child since they mistreated were and the parents could do nothing to help
and especially young girls were subjected to the consequence and horror of slavery 
But the people now will  show confidence that everything better has become.

The little girl has got a feeling that the paradise now has come cause she can only see warmhearted friends.
She love to go to her school and learned writing very fast and her parents are so proud for their daughter
And the people now will  show confidence that everything better has become.

The little Girl from Uganda

I am an unsigned singer/songwriter from Sunderland in the north east UK.

I have been writing songs for a few years now and have CD's on various web sites such as CD Baby, Itunes , Spotify etc.  My goal is to write good songs and hopefully have come up with a few along the way.

I love wring and recording songs – it gives me great pleasure staring from nothing but a blank piece of paper and finally coming up with something that sounds good.

I have collaborated with other people while being on Soundcloud – my long-time partner Ralph Donkin writes exceedingly good lyrics and between us have come up with many a good song.

My other partner Glen Granthem from Sacramento in USA has also been inspirational in my recordings – he is a very talented musician and producer and has brought life to many of my songs that otherwise would have been second rate.  We also have collaborated on many songs.

I have written songs with other people and I thank them from the bottom of my heart for their endeavours.

Thank you for all of you that have listened and commented on my songs and those who will in the future.  I am very grateful that you stopped by and listened – hope you have enjoyed what you have heard.

Again many thanks and good luck for the future in your musical endeavours.
