Some of my Songs

Below are a few of the home demos I've been working on over the past year or so. Some started as cassette demos with some old friends. Additional tracks are available on my SoundCloud if you're like to hear more. :-)

Orange

Wrote this one with Kelley Ryan (of astroPuppees fame). Her recording can be found on her brilliant 'little chich tsunami' LP (Manatee Records). This is my humble attempt at 'having a go of it'!

In A Heartbeat

An earlier Kelley Ryan co-write. I took her vocal from our original 4-track cassette demo and tried to update it a little.

Everything

'Love rules the court, the camp, the grove,/And men below, and saints above;/For love is heaven, and heaven is love.'
- Sir Walter Scott

Don't Give Up (The Ghost)

True story, based on a newspaper article Peter Case had us read and write about as an assignment in his Songwriter's Workshop.

Bad Combination

Another Kelley Ryan co-write. This started as a 2-track cassette demo after the writing session, but before we'd pulled all the lyrics together. I was playing the 'StrumStick' with Kelley on guitar. I've taken that cassette and added some new bits and pieces, and some new lyrics, to that demo.

Spud

"This is a true story...about a couple a pets named Spud." Found an old 4-track of Speedy, Squeaky and Holmes (RIP, Rob) doing this one, so I tried to give it some new life (wish I could've done the same for the Spuds)!
