Message in Code
Message in Code Track number: 5 Year: 2009 Genre: World
This song is actually a story song, about Good vs Evil. And as with all such stories, the lines between Good & Evil are often blurred. From a purely musical perspective it's a mariachi song more than anything else!

Friday On My Mind
Friday On My Mind Track number: 2 Year: 2012 Genre: Cover/Tribute
This is my version of an "Easybeats" hit and is one of my all time favorite pop tunes. George Young, older brother of Angus and Malcolm, got his start in the group.

Love Her Madly
Love Her Madly Track number: 4 Year: 2012 Genre: Classic Rock
This is my attempt to channel Jim Morrison, another of my idols and his "killer" band the 'Doors.' I tried very had to be true to the original release but it's up to you, the listener to make the decision about if I succeeded!

Day of the Eagle
Day of the Eagle Track number: 6 Year: 2013 Genre: Progressive
Day of the Eagle just "knocked me out" when I first heard it. From there, I became a devoted Robin Trower fan. When I finally saw him in person I was amazed at how much great "rock" sounds a trio can generate. I did my best to stay as true to Robin's original cut but only Robin Trower can play guitar like Robin Trower!

Dawn in Eternity
Dawn in Eternity Track number: 13 Year: 2012 Album: Playing Alone Again Genre: Acoustic
This was composed for a lyrical dance piece!

Yes I Am - Instrumental
Yes I Am - Instrumental Track number: 9 Year: 2013 Genre: Other
This is an exercise in tone and instrumentation. It's meant to be an "Opener," that allows all the musicians to work their instruments before actually starting the show! The unasked question is, of course..., Are You Ready??? and the answer is...!
