Done
on the first 4-track cassette machine I owned (1985). It was a cheap-end
plastic box that worked amazingly well. This was written in 1969
for the band "Nigel". Leonardo had a great sense
of humour. |

There
are some damn fine looking gals out on those hills. 2000 but completely
timeless, obviously. |

Black
Magic Woman revisited. The Ankh 
Band 1997. Traditional arrangement. 1997. |

The Welsh
have a word for it. Duw Duw = "Goodness Gracious Me!",
or something similar - (literally "God, God!"). 1999.
Never got to Nashville. Followed "Plan B" instead. |

This
is one song I shall (hopefully) be re-doing properly soon. Could
be good with the right chords this time, perhaps. Spot the traditional
Scottish song. 1999. |

A neighbour's
first demo. His acoustic guitar to click track with everything else
added later by me with Yamaha QY20 and electric guitar. 2001. |

Truly
fab original "The Harry Lime Theme", of which I always
wanted to do a version. Finally got around to it in 2000. Don't
think I spoiled it too much. Well I like it anyway. Fun to do. |

The bitter
domestic struggle goes on and on. Some things never change. "Am
I hurting you?" - probably. 8_track
Fostex DMT8. 2000. Seriously needs full bandwith stereo. Ah, well... |
|
|
|
 |
The dear old Moody
Blues inspired this one, too. Mind you, I've played out of tune
a few times myself. 2000.

In the
mood for what, I wonder? Get creative in your own bathtub is what
I say. I know I do. |

That
old wind-up 78 rpm gramophone cost 10 shillings (old money) from
the junk shop and the discs were so plentiful they needed new landfill
sites. Now they're worth something. I'm rambling. Learned from 78
rpm, anyway. Doo wackadoo wackadoo wackadoo... |

It wasn't
until 1984 that I got (late, really) into the wonderful world of
the domestic "portastudio" 4_track
cassette recording, so certain frustrations were bound to come out.
Maybe I worked for 'Quo too long... |

A total
of just two love songs out of a catalogue of hundreds isn't bad
going. Real-time Roll Royce passing house during dawn chorus. Bound
to fix myself some transport... |

Originally
The Rubber Band Song. The Yamaha QY20 again in step write. This
machine is an 8_track pocket sequencer
and mine is completely knackered; half of the buttons don't work
through over_use. |

Everybody should
own a copy of this. If you haven't heard it before, this is a
genuine Troggs' recording session tape; a thoughtful-minded engineer
kept the tape running for our pleasure and delight. Contains gratuitous
obscenity. And did they ever get it right? Do it on yer top one
- dubba dubba dubba -cha!
