My Music

Lovely Day

The reserve song for the signing bit at a recent wedding. Again, would benefit from Damon's trombone, but I do my best with the side of my mouth.

The Shining

A request from a recent wedding - sadly missing the excellent trombone skills of one Damon Smith, and the cello intro we managed to organise on the day.

Matt Weddle did something acousticky, I unacoustickied it for this.

Back in Black

A folky version, inspired by the tuning Jose Gonzales uses for his version of Kylie's Hand on your Heart

Ziggy Stardust

One of my favourite songs, still looking for something interesting to do with it though... this is a straight strummy cover. I probably get some of the words wrong.

Message in a Bottle

In the lounge style. Check the serendipitous police siren in the background.

Great Balls of Creep

With thanks to I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, for the One Song To The Tune Of Another concept.

"Is it me you're looking for?!"

Pornstar

Based on Suede's Filmstar. I came up with this when I was 17, please don't judge me.

Bleecker Street

Both my favourite Simon and Garfunkel song and my favourite street in New York.

Hotel Yorba

Inventively used by Rob for our wedding DVD - with me screeching "Let's get married..."

Long Train Runnin'

I'm sure this can be performed better, but Jim's direction is excellent, I love the idea of it gradually picking up speed.

Roxanne

This is default mode for me, when holding a guitar.

Sam Hall

Click here to listen/download
Not with the same subtle hatred that Johnny Cash's years of being Johnny Cash brought to it. But fun all the same. Reminds me of Postman Pat.

Portrait of Tracy

I wanted to prove I could play bass like Jaco. I cannot play bass like Jaco.

Hello (with dodgy vocals)

Click here to listen/download
By special request, Jim electronically messed about with the vocals.

Stand By Me

This is horrible, but stays up here until I record something new that's better.

Back in Black - v2

With kazoo instead of guitar, or vice versa, depending on which way round I put the files in.
