I’m biting the bullet hard and releasing many songs that I wrote and recorded between 1975 and 2016. Most of these songs have not been available for sale, nor even heard, by more than a few friends.

The first release in the series is:

Songs of 1993, Vol. 1 – Written and recorded in chronological order by me and my machines, between January 1 and February 23, 1993, in the Hammerwood, East Sussex, U.K., studio that Dee Long and I put together. Thanks to Mark Dwyer for his influence and assistance, and to very very special friends, Sheila and Barney!

It Was A Very Good Year – Frank & Gordon

It Was A Very Good Year – Frank Sinatra singing, with Gordon Jenkins conducting, while they rehearse and record at Western Recorders on Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, in the 1960s! Wow!

Frank speaks of the first great “singer”, Bing Crosby. Sinatra says they are both singers, not crooners making “cow-like sounds.”
