Well, I’ve been up for close to 36 hours now, and I am in need of some rest. But first, a quick word from our sponsor….. Slippers!
A special thank you to all of you who were at the barbeque/gig yesterday (for pictures, see my new gallery here, and also some other people’s galleries (including a live video of one of my songs in the set) here and here). It was an honour to play and sing for such a group of supportive people, and it was wonderful as a first gig for me. I enjoyed it immensely. Dan and Tom’s set (Rustic Knives) was really entertaining, with some really catchy songs that I’m waiting somewhat impatiently for recorded versions to wing their way to me. Later in the night, the improv session with Sanjay, and all the others who took part, was also of the highest calibre, some truly inspired fun there! Beware the porcupine.
I’ll probably be updating or adding to this post when I’m a bit more refreshed, but for now I want to give all you weary travellers an aural treat.. here’s 4 of my songs which I have recorded. The first 3 were mixed by the highly talented Aaron Greeno (which accounts for the great quality of sound and effects), and the last is a somewhat rough single-microphone-into-the-computer-type affair, with a lot of background noise, but I thought the performance was strong enough to warrant sharing it, at least until I produce a clearer version of it. All parts were played, sung, and written by myself, with the exception of “Longing To Be”, which my good friend Dean Amjad had a helping hand in writing.
To download them to your computer, right click them, and then “save as”. Feel free to share them with anyone you want to.
Be sure to drop me a line to let me know what you think. I would appreciate the feedback (and it’ll give me a rough idea of how many people are downloading them).
Now, go forth, and let the music multiply.
