This is from the new album, a rehearsal we recorded on a phone. At my side is Rodney Buys on piano. He just makes everything beautiful. He helped a great deal in crafting the feel for the new album. The keyword is Lush. Lyrics I’ve been wasting time, trying to change water into wine As […]
This is my side project. My father suggested I place music behind my stories. It is a very basic recordings. The music is from my Call it Love album – Shadow Lover is the name of the track. I messed with it a bit
This was recorded on a phone. Rodney and I rehearsing Stir A Little Love, written for my Mother. Forgive the bad sound and this is not what the song will sound like on completion.
