Well, during my last year of high school in England I remember seeing the Beatles on a children's TV show where they sang 'P.S I love You' live.

So I'm an old guy (like Carlin, don't ever call me a 'senior') and I've played piano and guitar since I was a kid. 50's rock in high school, Beatles and Stones after that, folk music in college and then the need to feed a family took over.

But I never stopped writing music, even though I threw away more than I kept. When the kids left the house I finally had the cash to do what I never could as a kid-get quality instruments and build a small home studio.

It's always amazed me how many variations there can be in essentially 13 notes!

Thank you for the positive comment, Keith. I look forward to participating in the Rockin' Oldies group.

I listened to your stuff. Very nice guitar style. If I might offer some constructive criticism, try messing with EQ when you mix your drum tracks. Those of us who use drum machines and VSTs to generate our percussion tracks face a special challenge, recording our songs. (Boy, I miss my drumming mate from my '70s country-rock band. *g*) It's amazing how "natural" some creative tweaking can make electronically produced drum tracks sound, in a final mix.

Again, thanks for the comment...and keep up the good work.

Thank you. That's Toozie, my yellow lab.
I listened to your tunes--really nice! I wish I could play jazz like that. The only jazz chord that I know is the 9-6 at the end of one of the early Beatles' songs. Best wishes, robin
