The Naughty Step (Acoustic)
Some noises from a little room in Chester...
The Beanman cometh.. (Acoustic)
Artist Comments Dedicated to Freddie Philips, whose music gave me so much joy as a child. One year round about '72 the farm I lived on grew a load of beans for a certain large frozen food company. There was a massive build up to the arrival of the harvesters which had to come the long way round 'cause they were too big for the canal bridge nearby...
To an 8-year-old it was all very exciting.
This is a recent tune, the guitar part came first, the rest was filled in after using whatever came to hand including the PG Tips monkey, an african drum and a few bits from my kids' collection of toy instruments. I've tried to capture the rhythmic, pulsing threshing of the machines. As with all my stuff I'll return to it one day, but for now I'll sit on it and see if I get any further ideas.Feel free to comment

Sporadic noodling and doodling with an acoustic slant.Usually, it starts with a riff and is built on the hoof.
Inspired by bad TV which drives me upstairs to me little den. Therefore, I'm indebted to Judge Judy and Simon Cowell...
