Beyond Saturn’s Window

It was the 1980’s something or other, and we had a little reunion on Bayview avenue in Toronto of our old 70’s band. Beyond for short.

Another Dog

As they say in the business.

This one was written and recorded the day before Get a Dog, the version that ended up on the black n white album

It’s available for your listening pleasure on my fan page at Tunetrack

Not for Family Awesome ringtone…

December 19th, 2010 § 0 comments § permalink

Somehow my crude a cappella serenade has turned into a Ringtone for the iPhone. You can’t find it on iTunes. Just on your iPhone. I wonder why it isn’t everywhere?

Still, it’s rude. So, if you are not over the age of consent in your jurisdiction, then please do not enjoy the ringtone here.

There is also a crude website link that will take you to a short version with words, but don’t go there either if you are under the voting age in your area. The full version of Awesome is available on the black n white album, on iTunes, and most everywhere else (I hope).

A Johnny Mercer song…Fabtastic!

Thanks to Richard Martinez for the link!

The dancing at the end “ain’t bad either!”.

Nick Wood and Randy Cooke in Los Angeles

I’m becoming addicted to Steak and Chips at Monsieur Marcel, where I joined Nick Wood for lunch last week. Nick came to town from Tokyo to work on songs for his upcoming solo album.

We went to Valley Glen to record three new drum tracks with Randy Cooke.
