A Rake (& a Ramblin' boy) Messing around on a Sunday afternoon. This is an old traditional folky troubador type song. I picked it up from a version played by Tom Ball, and if there's anyone out there who knows how to play the chorus the same way that Tom plays it, get in touch! Tom Ball's an amazing guitarist, check him out if you get a chance. I did ask him how he did it, but he couldn't remember....:) Tags: acoustic fingerstyle folk tom ball rake and rambling boy |

Dan Reeder - Cowboy Song I have a deep love of Dan Reeder who I think is something of a genius. I also have a deep love of old pictures. And cowboys. It all sort of came together here. Just some nice old photos set to one of my favourite Dan Reeder songs. This song is from the Sweetheart CD on OhBoy records. Tags: dan reeder sweetheart cowboy song |

Pastures New - Wee Cherubs Another blast from my past. A demo by the Cherubs set to a bunch of clips, with thansk to Ivan Bridgewater from the Internet Archive (http://www.archive.org/index.php) Recorded in early eighties in Glasgow with Christine & Graham and produced by Kenny MacDonald. I tried to upload it in stereo using an flv format and it sounded HORRIBLE, in capital letters...so glorious mono it is. Hope you enjoy!

Poor Little Lost Soul - Wee Cherubs in the early 1980's I played in a non-influential Indie band in Glasgow, called Wee Cherubs. I was privileged to play alongside Christine Gibson (bass) and Graham Adam (drumbs). This is an unreleased demo which I think was one of the first songs we ever recorded (at Park Lane Studios, Glasgow). I have no idea what this song is about, which is surprising, since I wrote it. But then, the 1980's were my 1960's ;)...I put together a collage of various clips for your viewing enjoyment while you listen to this reverb-y thing. I think I should credit the sources: Ivan Bridgewater - Internat Movie Archive Alex Park Inn Aviation videos Neuromixer VJ loops Spacetelescope.org Sorry for the others I forgot, don't sue me though.

Furry Butt - fingerstyle guitar A short and somewhat bittersweet piece, whose full title is actually "You'll be licking your Furry Butt in Heaven (if I catch you doing that in my Garden again)". It's dedicated to a large malevolent grey cat which delights in leaving items of software in my tiny back garden. Cute Overload, I don't think so.

The Teddy Bears' Picnic - fingerstyle guitar Just a bit of fun, a ham fisted mauling of the famour old children's song. I never understood why we would need to go alone, or in disguise though. I mean we all know what bears do in the woods. It doesn't sound like a fun theme for a picnic. Anyway! standard tuning. Tags: acoustic guitar fingerstyle solo folky teddy bears picnic children song |

Walking the Esk This was inspired by fanoguitar playing Walking the Wabash. I live in a small Scottish town near Edinburgh, and a river, much less significant than the Wabash, runs through it. So on a freezing Winter's Saturday, me and my older boy took a walk along the river and recorded some of the sights that we came across during our ramble. We had a great time. The music is a guitar piece I recorded separately called Lost and Found. I hope you enjoy it! Tags: Scotland Musselburgh River Esk acoustic guitar fingerstyle instrumental roadster470 |

Of Strange Lands and People - fingerstyle guitar Fingerstyle guitar arrangement of an extract from Schumann's Scenes from Childhood. This is me playing an arrangement by Simon Salz. I love this tune, I wish I could do it justice. A nylon string guitar would help for a start! Tags: fingerstyle guitar acoustic schumann strange lands and people classical |
