Shallow Day

This song is more recent. Last summer I picked up my viola for the first time in years, and after some messing around I found that I really liked the sound that it made when combined with a harmonica. Kind of rustic (if not Waltons-esque). Having said that, if the conductor of the orchestra I play in hears this, he'll probably have words to say about my tuning.

I wrote the lyrics while standing on a picket line in the rain! The other singer is me as well.

Times

Here's another - this is called Times, and it's one of the first songs I ever wrote.

I've decided that it's about time I started posting some of my own songs online, and rather than set up a myspace site, it makes sense to have all of my music stuff on the one site.

So for starters, here's a song I wrote and recorded this weekend - it's a bit rough and ready, but it is supposed to be the dying confession of some dodgy old New Orleans criminal, so with any luck the style fits.

Devil at my Deathbed
