"Ain't no good thing ever dies" -Tom Waits-

Hello, and welcome to my channel. I am here for the music and to have positive exchanges with fellow YouTubers. I have no hidden agenda or ulteria motives for being here.

A little information:

For better or worse I sing and play everything you hear uploaded on my channel, unless it is a collaboration with other YouTube artists. Overdubed parts are always played and recorded live in real time. I will occasionally create midi tracks and incorporate them into a song, and this is all done using whatever music software I have available at the time.

NO INFRINGEMENT OF COPYRIGHT IS INTENDED

Formation Date: 30 August 2006
Record Label: None
Label Type: Independent
Band Members: Its just me
Influences: The Beatles, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, James Taylor, Gustav Mahler, Randy Newman, Tom Waits, Simon & Garfunkle, Joni Mitchell, The Byrds, Elvis Costello, Harry Nilsson
Sounds Like: McCartneyesque with a dash of Stravinsky :o)
Country: United States

Hey Ron, Hope you're doing well.. We've been busy here with one thing or another. Thanks for listening to the last uploads, we finally managed to get a couple of hours of recording done last week. We've been enjoying some hot weather here (for England lol) was 30c yesterday although it's dropped to just 18 today with plenty of RAIN - It's a Yorkshiire thing as Duncan will tell ya! lol

thanks Ron. I just came back from visiting an old long lost acquantaince who it turns out if very musically talented. He has some great ideas for guitar arrangements for my songs and is going to help me record them. I feel all inspired and am working on another song now!! Woo Hoo! Hope you're well :)
